As was expected, Stretch took no offence at Pat's previous comment, though from what Pat could tell his companions were a little more high strung than he was. Still not enough to be offended by being called terrorists, guess that never made it into their list of hurtful insults. At least the new gang of prisoners seemed more functional than the one's he was with before. Or at least weren't babbling too much nonsense.

"...You don’t want to get us mixed up with something villainous. We’re not playing superheroes versus evil masterminds and villains here. We have no plot to rule the world. But you are right, we do want you safe and alive and in the best case scenario, with us instead of against.”

Was it normal for kidnappers to claim good intentions after admitting to drug and kidnap you? Pat guessed any thought of this being a normal kidnapping was dead and buried but these guys still liked putting a few more nails in the coffin just in case.

"Safe, alive and preferably drugged by the sound of things. You guys realize that kidnapping people generally doesn't create sympathy for your cause. Try a recruitment poster next time, or maybe a phone call."

Next up, one of the new captives launched into a lovely speech about why they needed more trees instead of doors, or something along those lines. Pat really didn't really understand what she was talking about aside from her last line. While he could understand being hesitant to trust these people, Pat knew in his gut they were telling the truth. Or at least, they believed they were telling the truth, no one ever admits to being the bad guy.

"That's all well and good but if you want any chance of making sense of this situation your going to have to believe somebody, and these guys have a better case than most. It always takes more effort to lie than to tell the truth, and these guys are nothing if not the laziest bunch of idiotic super kidnappers I've ever seen. Oops, sorry Stretch, broke protocol again."
