It has come up before but never with quote that tone of voice. It takes him a moment to collect his thoughts and when he does it's a less jovial tone. Not threatening by any means, just - different. He breathes deep and considers the first rule of press releases. Repeat and Reword the question if you need some wiggle room.<br/><br/>"<strong>Is this whole thing a bit of a shock to take in all at once? Yes, of course. So let me assure you it's not quite as overbearing as it sounds. The rules are about safety, for you and the next generations, more then anything.<br/><br/>So if you mean leave as in visit someone, as long as you agree to not tell anyone where this place is that can be arranged easily. It happens more often then you'd think.<br/><br/>If you mean you want to be permanently transferred to another Community, it may take a few days as some long phone calls but that can be arranged too. We have a few in this room in fact that are transfers from other Communities right now.<br/><br/>If you mean to leave the system entirely, that's never been requested before but I'm sure with time we'll think of something. It would take a few days to make the arrangements, and in the meantime we may change your mind. You'll find the way of life here would be very persuasive even if we all took vows of chastity. I promise.</strong>"<br/><br/>He couldn't help that implication there, but he hoped he at least gave off a vibe of "we can make a deal".
