"Yes. A control facility could be quite remote. But some portions of the last night time message of the Head Doctor make me doubt it." He was a little amazed he was actually conversing with someone and not becoming overly irritated by it. People hadn't started calling him 'Recluse' without reason, after all...
"He is a liar, but he was threatened by the incursion last night, to the point where he was much more likely to inadvertently reveal the truth." It was a standard problem a lot of supervillains fell prey to... They didn't have much self esteem, apparently. "He challenged this 'Alec' to meet face-to-face at the Head Office. That still could be remote, but there was mention of a woman who is affected in a simalar way to the nurses you encountered. I would think that such changes only occur within a localized area under Landel's control. And..."
Recluse smirked. "The man sounds highly insecure. He needs to prove his superiority, and remind himself of it. What better way than to keep his office within the walls of this place? It's rather like... I don't suppose you've heard of the Roman Empire? During their reign, they considered their capital to be the the one place of strength, culture and nobility encircled by the dangerous, uncivilized, 'heathen' lands which were completely under their control." Recluse was very nearly monologuing. He had to get over that habit.
