Hello Arno, Jana, and Christine, That's all very good, the Village is all these things, and yet there is something else a prime purpose for the Village, the gathering of Information, Information, Information! Well they do like to know everything, and they were gathering information from a man whose mind had been exchanged for someone elses, so that he could go out, gather information, to be brought back to the Village, have that information removed, all unpleasent memories of the Village wiped from his mind, so that he could be sent out to gather more information. And any such information then filed away in those grey filing cabinets we see in the opening sequence to the series.
