Day 41.Weather: No real changes. During the night and pre-dawn hours of the morning, temperatures dip into the 30s, and climb into the 40s during daylight hours. Nearly all of the leaves are gone from the trees now, and are blowing in the light wind.
Events: To most subjects, there's nothing at all going on. Things are entirely quiet. Still no communication from TPTB.
If any of yesterday's new arrivals slept out of their own rooms, they will wake up back in said rooms, warmly and comfortably tucked into bed. D'aw, isn't that sweet? Oh, right.
Speaking of said arrivals, the lot of them - Felix, Audrey, Lila, Roman, and Simms - all will find a message waiting for them on their computers.
Greetings,
Everyone is here for a reason. Each person in Mount Zenith was taken because they are of special value to our needs. Among our group of subjects, we have selected you for participation in a side experiment. This group, at this time made up of only an elite few, is known as Experiment B. Each of you has a special quality that suits our needs. We will have special requirements expected of you, but we believe you will find meeting those standards to be an enjoyable experience - one which you shall be compensated for.
Our terms are simple. We require that you create tension within the house. How you do this is up to you. Should you choose to openly sow discord, or quietly identify and exploit weaknesses, you may employ any strategy you see fit. In return, we will supply you with special information. We will grant you private access to the camera feeds, as well as the ability to read private messages between the other subjects. If necessary, we will even offer you special luxuries in payment for your services.
Our primary demand: you must not discuss Experiment B with anyone outside of the group. If you tell anyone of this arrangement, all privileges will be revoked and we can personally guarantee you will never see your homes or families again. Breaking this commandment will result in the swiftest and severest punishment we have to offer.
We have one final requirement. If you understand and accept these terms, place an apple on your desk when you go to bed tonight. If that is done and you keep your silence, we will grant you the privileges spoken of earlier.
