Chapter 60: Isolate

*"Once more, you're met with the boss and his gunman"*

## Major Events

* Ten wakes up in an unknown room and at the feet of the Boss
* Ten's head is yanked backed and she realizes right away that Marcellus is behind her
* The boss introduces himself as the "Overseer" - he explains that he had brought her here because Yosuke had fallen out of line with his mistake despite being once dependable
* He compare Yosuke's mistake to Mom's and has decided to punish him after deciding he was salvageable - by keeping Ten locked away from him in the Overseer's room
* When Ten stutters and struggles to speak up, the Overseer shoots a bullet to the side of her head, purposefully missing her - in a warning to not speak out of line without the permission to do so
* He reminds Ten that she's also being punished due to being nosey, chatty and disobeying his order for pretending the incident with Jay never happened
* The Overseer grants Ten 3 questions to ask within the span of 15 seconds - granted he is allowed to not answer
	+ "What is the Facility for?" - declined to answer
	+ "What happened to Jade?"
		- At first, he doesn't remember who she is but Marcellus reminds him that she was the previous Eleven
		- She had died a long time ago and that she was weak and of no use after her pregnancy since her mind was gone
	+ "Why do I know you?"
		- This question intrigues the Overseer and let's Ten's attempt to speak out of turn slide (though he asks Marcellus to punch her)
		- He confirms that Ten and him had met once before (interview) and Marcellus twice (first time, bringing her into the Facility. second time, interview)
* The Overseer pushes Ten to try remembering and likens the recognition but lack of connection to having something "at the tip of your tongue" (but the connection can't be made)
* When he decides to show something to Ten, he insinuates that he may take away Ten's memory of her time in the room once he's through with her
* The Overseer shows recordings of Gale interviewing the Numbers (with Marcellus watching to the side) likely before they're admitted into the Facility - Ten notes that Gale was lying throughout most of the interview and that they were trying to extract information from the Numbers
	+ Two expresses desire of wanting to see his sister and if his dad knew if they were there
	+ Three wants to go home and asks to see her brother and that they were living with there dad, but don't remember much else
	+ Blue seems lost and Gale insinuates that Blue had survived and accident. Gale asks her to recall her name but it gets cut off with "Ca-"
	+ Five seems to be struggling to remember something but says she vaguely recalls the face of a little boy
	+ Six is suffering from a headache on the floor and Gale is comforting her. Marcellus attempts to shoot her but Gale stops him. Six had been getting head pain from the look of Gale's face. Gale turns to the camera and tells the Overseer to "fix this"
	+ Violet demands to be returned home but doesn't even remember where home is. She knows there was "a place" but she realizes her memory had been wiped. Marcellus approaches Violet to inject her likely with anesthetic
	+ Eight suspects that he was brought into a government facility and knows that Gale was lying. However he is forced to comply with the threat of Marcellus' gun. Eight says he remembers his father's voice and hating the sound of it
	+ Lav is told that she participated in a drug trial and is even shown a paper that she participated willingly. She doesn't buy it since she sees Marcellus with a gun. She says she remembers someone important to her but can't place the name
* Ten's interview was the most peculiar out of all of them - The Overseer is leading her interview instead of Gale
	+ He forces Ten to read out names on the paper in front of her. She reads "Alyssa, Morrigan, Jacques, Nia, Shirley, Rosaline, Harold, Jessie" but none of the names ring a bell
	+ She is then given a set of portraits to look at but none of them jog her memory either
	+ Place? Garden
	+ Word? Sunset
	+ Color? White
	+ She is asked why those words but Ten still seems very confused
	+ Marcellus comes and injects her with anesthetic and the feed is cut when Ten struggles
* The Overseer can conclude that Ten's memory never made the connection of when she initially met him and Marcellus based on her reaction to the feeds. The reason for him showing her is not explained
* Ten is stripped before she is chained onto a hard bed in the back of the room. The reason is so that she wont hide any weapons from him
* The facility was built from a long abandoned government facility that was used for experimentation. He says they will give her basic needs while she is confined and that Marcellus would be watching her most of the time while she is not forced asleep
* Marcellus protests this at first in favor of helping his boss upstairs but is assured that he won't always be needed
* The Overseer explains that he will draw the bed curtain if he doesn't want to deal with her but when it is opened, he still expects her to be quiet
* Lilah knocks at the door insistently to return an autopsy report (that a nurse had dropped dead), but is surprised and upset when she notices Ten in the room. Marcellus slams the door on her before she can argue further. The Overseer asks Marcellus to watch her and make sure the news doesn't reach Yosuke
* The Overseer changes a black suit jacket and says he has business to take care of upstairs without Marcellus' help. He addresses Marcellus as "Lucius" which is his first name
* The Overseer warns Ten to treat Lucius with respect before leaving the room
* Lucius talks to Ten and says she's free to be more talkative to him and that she is of no threat to him
* Ten instinctively reaches for his gun but is stopped right away
* Not even Lucius knows why the Overseer brought her there. He says as long as Ten plays her cards right, she can keep her memory
* Lucius closes the curtain, leaving Ten with her thoughts

## Trivia

* First mention of The Overseer and the use of Marcellus' first name, Lucius
* The Overseer implies that he gave Ten as reward for Yosuke's loyalty - it is speculated that Yosuke may have known Ten before her memories were wiped
* Very curious what the reason the Overseer kept Ten in his room as compared to confining her elsewhere. Additionally, the fact that the Overseer personally interviewed Ten when she first woke up at the Facility instead of Gale leads readers to believe she is more than what she seems
	+ The interview method was also more forceful
* The lack of footage of Cyrus is likely due to the fact that he was from the previous group of Numbers
* Blue may have possibly remembered her name - not much is known beyond that aside from "Ca"
* Ten's choice of words match the same description from her dreams - a garden maze with sunset. The color white was likely taken from the color of the room she was being interviewed in
* The Facility was once a government facility for "twisted and inhumane" experiments
* Ten notices that the Overseer's room kept most of it's older state but the rest of the facility is modern and clean
* Lilah says "You promised not to keep any more secrets from me, assholes!" after Marcellus closes the door on her, implying that she is a part of the Overseer's close circle
