{Number 2 – Hammer Into Anvil}
“Our masters,”
in ‘Arrival’ Cobb spoke of his new
masters, that he mustn’t keep them waiting. And Number 2 in ‘The Schizoid Man’
said of Number 6 “I can’t use the normal techniques, too valuable mustn’t
damage him permanently say our masters.” And in ‘Hammer Into Anvil’ Number 6
accuses Number 2 of being afraid of his masters, there is never any mention of
Number 1, or being afraid of Number 1, or Number 1saying Number 6 is too
important, that he mustn’t be damaged permanently, its always the “masters.”
It’s only Number 1 when it comes to ‘Fall Out,” that’s why I’ve always thought
Number 1 as being Number 6’s alter ego as being a cop out. After all up until
the advent of ‘Fall Out’ it’s always been assumed, and with very good reason
that its Number 6’s former employers within British Military Intelligence who
had him abducted to The Village. Or if not then by some other department within
British Military Intelligence, certainly one or the other, but not this Number
1 character seen for a few moments in ‘Fall Out.’ Yes someone has to be in
charge in The Village, but that would be Number 2 wouldn’t, as Chief
Administrator. Yes Number 2 would be answerable to Number 1, but my guess would
be that even Number 1 is held accountable to those “masters” we hear so much
about!
Be seeing you
