This is what we've found while working with the Jans. The moment they become conscious of themselves as autonomous beings in a shared environment is the same moment that they begin to express symptoms of deep-set mental illnesses, personality disorders, what have you—and with aggravations. It just becomes worse when and if they learn that their existence in The Crack is finite. We've had some of our best successes with the ones who've never thought to ask.
Now watch some frags of Jans early in their work mods mouthing off to assigned peers:
Jan: Why am I doing this, anyway? It's stupid.
Jan: That's darling: you deadhead marigolds like you've found the key to happiness.
Jan: Have you ever wondered what you're supposed to do when you leave here?
Jan: The shadows are crossing in the middle now. Before my rest period, they were far apart.
Jan: I want to touch you.
Jan: You know what? I believe that Jan and I are really not the same at all.
Jan: They still want us to do this, but we still don't want to do it.
Jan: If it were up to me, I would do this more slowly.
Jan: Sometimes when I'm fulfilling my duties and earning praise, I hate myself and others.
Jan: Why do they keep reminding us of choices everything is about choices?
Jan: Seems like the team's on board with personal hygiene but how about overall aesthetics?
Jan: Why do I have the ability to speak aloud?
Jan: Do we work here because we made bad choices?
Jan: Our avatars are really going at it. What do we do in the meantime?
Jan: They say that if it weren't for us, there would be too few natural hominids to develop into a society. I don't believe it.
Jan: They say the K5000 allows us to access parts of our brains not damaged by trauma. But what was the trauma? Was it the K5000?
Jan: What is the K5000?
Jan: What if the K5000 went away?
