Quote For The Day

    “He’s a plant, if anything happened to him, our masters would know who was responsible.”

                                  {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!
