Of course they do. Do you really think they would let people from other worlds with strange powers run around a forest in Michigan if they didn't have some way to prevent us from fighting back?

[killtheanimals]

This is the hunting group, right? Not the labs?

Or were they the same all along?

[backspacing]

The hunting group and the labs are separate entities.

...I probably should not be talking about the labs, though. That could get both of us in trouble.

[killtheanimals]

Then it's the hunters.

[Yes? No? Red, please.]

[backspacing]

Yes, it's the hunters.

[Come on dude don't make her spell out everything for you.]

[killtheanimals]

[Red you use tricky language and he's increasingly having a real bad time, humor him please.]

So... what? Did they just realize this camp seems to bring strange people from other worlds and decide it's their job to keep us contained here so we can't try to live in their world?

[backspacing]

Fear makes people do strange things, Mitsuru. Do you think they've been here for all these years and have never seen someone partially made of stone?

[killtheanimals]

Is the stone not their work, then?

[backspacing]

The stone has been here for millions of years. They're just trying to protect the world from the stone.

[killtheanimals]

How long have they been doing that? Do you know?

[backspacing]

I only know that my organization has been in charge of the camp for some 50-odd years. The hunters were in the area before that.

[killtheanimals]

[Another dead end... he's agitated, but he dislikes that too, tries to shove those feelings away and focus, focus on doing what needs to be done.]

How much do they know about the stone?

[backspacing]

Not much, I would suppose. It's hard to know much about something that's difficult to comprehend.

[killtheanimals]

Yet they still manage to learn about us personally, and suppress our powers.
