*** REPLACE THIS spy WITH number six! ***

Everything they did was part of the plan to send him over the edge
so he would talk.  Giving him a high number, but no control I thought
was very clever.  A bit of a mind twist.  Also, I feel that most (95%)
of the people there are trying to break number 6, so that would make him
very high man on the Village totem pole.

"I am not a number!"     -Number Six
