Hi sorry for not having said anything in a while.  I think everything is fleshing out in a really cool way and I want to thank everyone for asking thought-provoking questions and making contributions.

I want to ask what forms Galatec complacency can take.  For example, some forms of complacency are 'glad', as in, "Boy, I love Galatec!"  Other forms are less glad, for example, hopelessness, as in, "Galatec is my only option, I better not act up or I'll lose my job and my family."  Then there's distraction, as in, "I'm too busy with trying to make ends meet to even think about 'what-ifs'."  All are, in essence, effective forms of brainwashing and population suppression.  Like people in my country don't vote because they think the system is rigged (AKA hopelessness), and consumerism and a 'suffering economy' (AKA distraction) keeps people so involved with work that they don't stop to question the system.

I'm just wondering if the brainwashing takes different forms depending on people's personalities, like some people are most complacent when pleased, while others are most complacent when faced with soul-crushing hopelessness.  If possible, I'd like to make someone who was one of the hopeless 'sheeple' who was somehow 'woken up' to his/her plight by some event.  This person would have serious doubts about their abilities and be overall rather pessimistic.
