The Return Of The Repressed
My dude is on to something, Pretty much exactly what they did around the Xiangfang, Xuanjia, Pingfang, Jioujia, Nüjia, Ralin, Beiyinhe, and Anjia stations. They also started handing out new "passports" for these areas and any one caught without one or an old one, or one not for that area could be taken away, the whole area became like an enclosed ghetto without the costs of concentration.

I don’t recall if I’ve mentioned this before, but Fredericksburg MD, a small city that is the closest municipality to Fort Dietrich, has an abnormally robust, and well tended homeless population. I used to visit a friend there, and she told me that the city had exceptionally liberal services for the homeless. At the time I just thought, “wonderful! That’s so nice of them.” But now I can’t help but wonder if the scientists at Dietrich don’t appreciate having a large, disposable, probably largely unattached pool of “volunteers” for whatever the fuck they’re up to.
