Why do I keep thinking about this? No.

>you should take the plunge and enter the cell to shake hands with Orro
>I think you should work your way up physical interaction
I’m not doing that. I ... even if I don’t think he wants to hurt me, I only met him a few minutes ago. I have no idea if I can trust him enough for that, and if I’m wrong, I’m ... probably not getting back out of the cell.

>Get those thoughts of the alien picking you up and handling you like a toy out of your mind.
That’s terrifying to contemplate.

>Can you see a way to enter Orro's room?
>Clearly neither of you know how to open their cage
There’s a badge reader next to it. I’m guessing that’s what it’s for.

>it sounds like for some reason people get brought here for reasons we've yet to understand
Yes, we’re apparently abducting aliens or something. That’s another thing I don’t want to think about ... but I’m guessing I can’t really avoid that one as easily.

>The notes also indicate he's on about a 60-day timer before he gets A LOT out of it, straight up depressed.
I’m not bringing that up to him, for obvious reasons, but I’ll keep it in the back of my mind.

>These people might have some sort of extraordinary sensory power to be able to detect one another from far away
There was something like that in the subject file.

... Orro looks at me like he’s expecting me to say something. Oops.
