The next day, Oreldo and the other officers discuss the fact that the factory is producing so many weapons for such a small number of people. Orelado wonders why the weapons department would make such a big deal about producing weapons for so few people. He also wonders why they didn't just produce the weapons for the upper classes. He wonders if they would stop making the weapons and stop using so much energy on them. The lieutenant replies that he's not counting the commoners as he is, because he thinks that having a communications network would make it easier for the enemy to track down and kill them. He's also worried about the information war that's been going on since the beginning of the war. He runs into a guy in the street who's a friend of his, and the two of them talk about how great it would be if they could divide up the factories and hide them among the enemy's "district zeroes" . He thinks this would be a great idea, and he wonders if it would solve the problem of the refugees. He imagines that if the government were to ask the people to think about what's going on in the country in the next few years, they'd be able to figure out a way to help the people.
