[Here's Cato, Barge. Dressed like a pre-collapse civilian with his hands in his pockets. This is so weird.]

Everyone here talks differently.

I mean...really different.

[He pans upward to the flag and back down] I haven't seen a flag like that before.


[This is really unnerving. Like really REALLY unnerving and therefore he turns the feed off before privately messaging Dylan]

I also don't understand the point of everyone asking me to buy these gift cards. I don't have any money.

[Private to Dylan]

...Do you think there are people in my world that talk like this? What does my file say? That...act like this?

The history of Pre-Collapse America indicates that the United States was the one affected but there are people speaking other languages here. There are people who are talking about other countries. Do you think that...I mean do you...

[he exhales] Because if they are...if they did...Why didn't North America ask them to come and help when the floods hit?

[In his file, and what Warden wouldn't read the file? There's a notation.

Prior to the massive ecological disasters that hit the United States of America, the nation had severed most of, if not all ties with the struggling European nation due to disagreements over foreign policy. President Mitt Romney, neglecting his own people poured funds and resources into the oppression of other countries. Succumbing to madness, the president was eventually assassinated but the laws that he put in power led to aggression between North America and other countries.

There's more. There's a lot more about bombs falling and about the United States dragging the whole world down to hell. There's a lot more about how basically "We don't like you" and "well I don't like you either" descended into black B2 Stealth bombers, biochemical warfare, and the human population being so small that the rebellion within the districts threatened the safety of the human species.

But it's a question of if now is the time to honestly discuss that.]

It's the Union Flag. It's the official flag of the United Kingdom, and the current design dates back to 1801.

And there are a fair amount of British people on the Barge as well, assuming you're talking about the accent.

I don't think the other nations were in a position to help. From the sounds of it, the whole world was in pretty dire straits.

But I'm sure that there are other countries in your world. Maybe they found different solutions to help rebuild society after the collapse. Maybe they'd be in a position to help now.

Do you have any plans for today? [If Cato doesn't, Dylan does.]

Pre-Collapse society just loves to spend their money, Cato.... Much like the Capitol does. It's why they're asking you to buy the gift cards and other gifts...

That and you don't look homeless.

[She acts like she knows quite a bit more, but in reality, she's just as lost as he was on a few of those things. She's just not open enough to admit it.]

It's being called British. [Speaking of which, she's now speaking in a classy accent of her own.]
