**Paul enters from C3- Outside of Homes**

Paul strode in through the door to his home with a new spring in his step. Ben hadn’t neglected or forgotten him. Not at all. In fact, Ben apparently had something very specific in mind for Paul. He no doubt wanted to keep it private from the rest of the project, which is why he hadn’t been given instructions at the same time as Goodwin.

He felt, perhaps, a small pang of jealousy for Goodwin. Paul liked to keep his mind free of such flaws as jealousy. After all, that was why every house was- up until now- painted in the same regulation colour and decorated in the same manner. It prevented jealousy if everyone was equal. But if someone had, for example, a flower bed with some rare fauna obtained from the jungle, then other people would be jealous. The jealousy would fester and then boil over, spreading to other issues and other members of the project until it resulted in a fracture of the group and the failure of their utopia.

But, regardless, Paul could not help but be jealous of Goodwin. He seemed to have… everything. It was an over-sight in the formation of their society, but an inevitable one. A little like communism. When one considered only material wealth and possessions, communism was fool-proof and so was all of this that they had on The Island. But there were so many more things that a person could yearn for than “things”. There were also intangibles that a person could want after that could not possibly be regulated by any governing body. Opportunity, was one such thing. Goodwin had been given an opportunity to observe The Survivors first in their purest sense of chaos. Goodwin, and not Paul, would be able to walk away with the knowledge of how humans react when a severe emotional stimulus- like falling from the sky in a plane- is applied. Goodwin, and not Paul, had the opportunity to experience love. Love- something which had passed Paul by far too many times.

He just made a face at himself and decided to get back to work. The excitement was making him emotional. Here he was, presented with the chance of a lifetime and he was busy fussing over what Goodwin had and what Paul didn’t. He pulled back the curtains a little and sat on the couch, pen and paper in hand. There was a rare opportunity for observation outside right now. Who would volunteer to go on these “away teams”? Who would be turned away? What were peoples’ motivations for volunteering or not volunteering? Ben would no doubt wish to know every single detail…
