Prepped for captivity. We're space veal.

These experiments nowadays with sealing people in houses and such with
only Internet connections, these are just preparing us for the next phase
of the occupation, where our alien keepers seal us inside rooms our
entire lives, so that they can pack an even greater number of us in a
small space like a city.

So that, of course, our meat will be tender and pale, like veal. We're
being prepared to be raised like veal calves: kept inside a small box in
dim light our entire lives. That way we'll never be tough and stringy.

The aliens can't believe they didn't fuckin think of this Internet thing
long ago!
