The problem with experimental techniques was that they were just that -- experimental. Prone to disaster. Prone to issues and problems like electricity pouring through his veins one moment while he floated in a vat of green water and the next minute -- this. It reminded him far too much of the beach he'd ended up on after Helen had tried to kill him.

He looked around for any homicidal ex-wives or other murderers, but there didn't seem to be anyone fitting that description in the vicinity, though he could see something, there on the edge of the horizon.

Just what he needed.

Picking his cell phone out of his pocket and snarled when the screen displayed a "out of range" error. Of course. Suspecting that he wouldn't get range anywhere, he still tucked the cell phone back into his pocket and began walking towards what seemed like a mirage and tried not to think how it vaguely resembled the Kent farm.

Lex wasn't that lucky.

Jun was relieved that the bald man agreed to follow him. He did not enjoy conflict or injuring a man's body or pride, both of which would probably have been quite bruised to say the least.

As they entered the main complex of buildings, Jun's emerald green eyes searched for a few friendly faces he felt sure could help with such a man...John Crichton would know how to handle this one, he was sure and Xena, she would know what to do. Jun tried to hide his smile...maybe not Xena. The new arrival might end up wearing the tablet.

They were almost there. Jun had to try to be sociable at least one more time. "You sound American. Are you American, Sir?", Jun asked conversationally, as they walked.

Arriving at the center of the complex, the green-haired teenager stopped next to the mounted tablet and indicated it with a flourish of his hand, "Here it is, Sir. Once you read this and you have your key. You may be considered on your own".

Next to Jun, the mounted tablet, carved in stone, read:

"Welcome to Mirage.
This is your new home.
Your every need will be fulfilled.
You will have a place to live.
You will have food and clothing.
You will have entertainment.
You will have company.
You will not be able to leave.
You will not kill. Ever.
If you have questions, ask my assistants.
Love,
The Planet"

"You could say that," Lex muttered, not entirely in the mood for small talk with a person that his subconscious created in this nightmare of his.

When Jun held the key out, he took it, careful not to have his skin touch any of the other man's -- more habit than purposeful slight, and read over this tablet.

He was wrong, this wasn't a nightmare.

This was hell.

"What if someone is attacking us?" Was his first question. "We're not allowed to defend ourselves? What if it's an accident?" What is going to happen to my company while I'm gone? "What do you use as currency?"
