Mother 210:
Dear Colleague,
I am so very sorry that my son has made such an exhibition of himself with your daughter. It really does seem quite out of character for him, although I have to admit that he’s always been a funny boy. Of course, he’s really got into trouble with the Supervisors, but I’m afraid he’s only got himself to blame.
I’ve been worrying myself silly, as I’m sure you’ll understand. I just wanted to send you a short communication to apologise and I can assure you that it will not happen again.
Judge 444:
This court recognises the findings of the Inner Bureau of Medical Affairs, in that there is clearly a need for emotional decontamination and mental correction. We therefore assign the subject to emotional decontamination centre Zero Zero or System six zero five, until such time as this affliction has been completely subdued.
Mother 210:
I don’t understand why she’d want to go up there in the first place. I mean, why bother getting involved? She’s some sort of scientist isn’t she? I suppose that’s the reason.
Why won’t they let him come out? He’s not a criminal, is he? Anyone would think he was some kind of specimen.
Neurosurgeon 463:
Look, he just doesn’t seem to be making any progress. I know it sounds archaic and old fashioned, but we’re going to have to try a straight, simple lesion of the fibre tracts within the limbic system. We’ll even use a stereotactic frame if we have to.
