kiriyu, a representative of the Halcyon group, tells the audience that he intends to operate on them and bring them under his employ. He tells them that they are nothing more than "hairless monkeys" and that they have come from a distant planet. They possess scientific knowledge far beyond their comprehension, and in recent years, they have increased in severity. They are helpless, he says, because the masters hold power over them. The government created the cradle to protect them from chaos and turmoil. He says that they need to band together to fight as one, because they are not totally helpless.
