If it's an experiment, we just have to make sure that whatever data they collect from us is so warped they can't use it.

[Going along with the trials, getting people killed - that's probably feeding into what the scientists want, but it can't be helped for now. First Luke, then Rhys. If they can whittle down the scientists' numbers, they can do things to make the data they provide so messed up that they wouldn't have enough people to interpret it.

Or so she hopes. Alice herself is not a scientist - not for experiments like this, anyway. She wouldn't know exactly how to skew the results, but she knows she would like to throw a wrench in their plans.]

...that explains something, actually. [Alice drums her fingers on the table again, thinking.] The first day I was sick, I sneezed on Rhys during the trial. Luke told me to tell him if it made Rhys get sick, too, so even though I thought Rhys was suspicious then, I decided not to vote for him so I'd be able to see if he did get sick over the next couple of days.

[Ugh... playing right into their hands.]

The staff members were looking out for each other even back then. ...Luke was trying to get me to help him with an experiment back then.

[ugh how did she not notice]
