[ it's true eudio had a lot of information on them, but it never felt this specific or invasive to alec. he's sure they didn't keep track of who spent time with who in the city, too, wanting to preserve their volunteers' privacy. so it feels different. like eudio had knowledge necessary about their worlds to know who to reach out to, while this place... this place just knows.

and might release or use the information in whatever way it sees fit. ]

It's different. This place feels different. [ that's the only way he can think of putting it into words. ] I don't like thinking them having all this information means someone else here could figure out a way to tap into it.

[ that's another danger, isn't it? even if F.A.T.E.S. means and will cause no harm, is the information protected from other refugees here, who might not be so kind with it? there's no way to know. ]
