"A doctor?" ZEX blinked a bit curiously. "I've never seen a doctor at night here. I did see nurses once, while we were coming back from that town, but a doctor..." Was it the Head Doctor? Was that where he was the previous night? No, Teisel said the doctor was female... ZEX hadn't seen any female doctors here before. How strange. He tried to move old head feelers again. "Have you asked on the message board if she's here? They were most likely lying to you, but it would be worthwhile to check."
ZEX had once checked for DAX, after all... although he knew where DAX was now, supposedly. That was a bit of a depressing thought. Much better to focus on something more pleasant, like admiring his human friend. "Yes, I'm not fond of restrictions myself." ZEX smiled. "Most of them are so baseless." As for his society... "Everyone has their place there. They don't look kindly on people who venture from it." As ZEX had found out for himself. He really would have thought his status would have given him some leeway, and instead...
"I don't think we have much value to them individually." ZEX's voice drained of emotion... it was easier to think seriously that way. "After all, people seem to die here every night, and the only thing that happens is that they are replaced. While they're invested in each of us individually enough to provide the actors and false lives I mentioned before..." If they were false. "It's not enough to stop them from releasing us every night to get killed trying to escape. Perhaps it amuses them, or they hope that each new death will serve as a warning to the others to stop trying to find a way out. Without more information, it's hard to know for sure." ZEX paused for a moment in his thoughts, then attempted a small smile. "That's part of why I'd like to get my file tonight, to get access to more information."
ZEX laughed at Teisel's admonition again, still very amused. Of course, he was at a severe disadvantage with this new body, he had very limited information on his enemies, and his expertise mostly focused on ship-against-ship tactics in Truespace and Hyperspace, but Teisel didn't need to know any of that. "Yes, in my hands, mmmm." A moment to enjoy the mental image. "I don't think you'll be disappointed." After all, ZEX had killed that poor beast the other night that was menacing those two humans, so he must have been getting better at this sort of thing. The insect that had injured him before had just gotten lucky.
