These so-called scientists apparently insert small devices--called 'chips'--into the bodies of each captive sometime upon arrival. Many claim they're a form of tracking; others say they inhibit special powers and skills; still others insist they can affect a person's state of mind and body. Whatever they do in truth, they are certainly not good.
These communication devices are the only positive reinforcement we're given here--there are animals, creatures, and monsters also brought here from various worlds that are a constant menace. Necessary supplies for living such as food, clothing, and medical supplies are scarce. It is useful to keep in touch with the rest of the city through these devices though to keep up with current events and...disasters.
There is no known way back. The people who brought us here are largely unknown. The disaster that struck this city before our arrival is unknown. This world is foreign and unforgiving.
