Thanks for the comments :D I haven't ever been depressed myself (not seriously, in any case), but I have observed it in lot of other people. I don't thik *all* my technocrats are quite so brain paved, but I thik that my technocracy is maybe more willing to brain pave their own people if they think it is going to make things go smoother.

I think I might do a little background write up thingy before I post the next section, as I know that there is a lot of conext lacking. I'm hoping to be able to put some of it in more naturally as I go, but I find it is easy toforget that things that seem obvious to me may not be so to other :)

I still think this needs a better name, though I have yet to think of one :p
