How's your wrist after the fight yesterday? Is it still bleeding through the bandages?

You know you can't lose it. Having one hand is my thing.

I sincerely hope that we're using the Survivor rules are the TV Show. Because if this is a fight to the death, I'm pretty sure we already know which block is going to win it.

[Steve Rogers]

I'd hate for this to be misconstrued as an indication that I'm concerned, or anything.

But are you all right?

Marx wrote that "History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce." Simon Sebag Montefiore disagreed. He said that history is never repeated, but "it borrows, steals, echoes and commandeers the past to create a hybrid, something unique out of the ingredients of past and present.”

I suppose we won't know who was right until the end.

In the last experiment, we knew our scientists. We never knew what they wanted, but we knew who they were.

Here, at first, I think perhaps they changed this, because it compromise the integrity of the experiment. Because the mere fact of knowing that you are being observed changes your behavior. But then I think that there are other ways to study someone without them knowing that they are being studied. I think about us, and how we are not who we say we were when we arrived.

Do you suspect that any of our fellow participants are not who they say they are?

Oh for crying out loud. What planet is this?

[JIM + SPOCK]
What did you do?!

[Oh la la Baguette]
Does anyone have a concept of what "Survivor" is and what it entails? The only information I've gathered is that in one world it's a series on television that somehow involved a crazy naked man, and that a newcomer reports that a similar event from his home involves murdering children for entertainment.

I was hoping maybe we could figure out more details to better prepare our volunteers, or consider revoking their names if this is something to be concerned with. I will not blame anyone for backing out if they are uncomfortable with the premise. Otherwise, are there any sorts of survival skills that we need brushing up on?

[Connor]
So. I... were you intending to tell me?

[Ash]
Were you ever successful in getting it working?

[Adam + Ronan]
Opal mentioned she has fireflies she'd like to show me..?

[Markus]
I thought I might come visit you soon if you're not busy? You can show me that piano?

[Team Blues Clues]
Is our team name a reference to some pop culture icon I am unfamiliar with?

Seems like I've somehow swapped districts for blocks, still I guess at least blue is better than dull grey.

So while I'm here anybody wanna tell me what the hell is going on? And where I can get a drink or four?
