[location: Sanctuary, 16th floor // voice] despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage

 Rorschach's meeting with one of their captors had not gone to plan.  He had known not to expect too much; they had been reluctant to show themselves at all if the words of other people could be trusted, but even so.  He had hoped answers could be gleaned, if not forced.

But the whimpering, cowering thing had only scuttled off at the earliest opportunity, leaving him with more questions than he had begun with.  So their abductors were cowards as well.  Cowards who occasionally prodded at their experiment but had no interest in explanations or anything other than their own entertainment.

He should not have been surprised.

Days have passed since the meeting, days which had been spent in contemplation as he examined the facts, tried to put them together in some kind of meaningful way.  The appearance could not have been coincidental, there had to have been some purpose behind it.  After their marked absence any kind of appearance could only be intentional.  Crouched again amongst the vegetation, as if continuing to remain there would prompt the rodent's return, he turns on the tablet, intentionally this time.  If he is stuck with it he might as well make use of it.
 
After fiddling with the settings to prevent his face from being seen, he speaks, addressing the community at large.  He might have attempted to lock the transmission to Daniel in order to learn his thoughts on the situation, but he has yet to master the tablet completely and will not run the risk of it being intercepted by others.  If Daniel wishes to discuss it privately he will do it himself, he reasons, and until then he will be careful to guard his words.
 
The voice that speaks is again Rorschach's, rather than the less impressive one he has been forced to use as of late.  "Have spoken with abductors.  Would be interested to hear thoughts if not the only one."
 
 

[ooc: Mun dropped the ball on the whole...alien-capture thing, so consequently Ror missed it too.  Just assume he was too busy exploring or something and left his tablet behind; he can't be up on EVERYTHING as much as he pretends he can]
