[nods...] To begin... Although you were promised a wish in exchange for coming here and giving up your memories, that wish is not guaranteed... The Judges brought us here because they need us to go on surviving. By paying tribute to them through the games, they continue to exist. But it is a means of clinging to survival when their world has long since ended.
A Judge calling himself the Surgeon showed us just how this world game to an end. Their sun, the Old Woman as they called her, scorched the earth until there was nothing left, except a sacred city the gods commanded their people to erect. The Sabra La Tau you've seen up until now are the remnants and ruins of that place. All of this is not information we were given, either upon arrival or before we made our contracts to come here. We were only told officially, "Who was once thy friends and allies mattereth not to a Blank. Thy unit is thy family here. None other can thou trust. Thou hast entered this place willingly." The inscription on our doors.
