Stacey retreats to the habitat in silent terror, and tells Billy about the Keepers plan. Reading The Keeper's lips, she discovers his plan to eliminate her. Feeding time concludes, and order the children to return to their habitats. He summons his guard, and tells him after he has finished cleaning up, to collect Stacey. Discovering that Billy has refused to eat his ration, he tauntingly tells him that he will be hungry later. He reminds the children that they are to be seen and not heard. This brief moment of hope is suddenly interrupted when The Keeper decides to walk in with a stun gun and silences one of the children, from Denmark. Billy talks to an English girl, who tells him "We call this the future, The Keeper calls this the past." She is delighted to find out that Stacey is deaf and hopes that they can plan to escape, as Stacey's disability becomes an advantage The Keeper keeps his specimens under control with sound. Feeding time comes, and the henchmen come to distribute a green Jello-like substance to the children as food. Using sign language, he tells her that they are in a zoo. Knowing nothing about human behavior, the dimwitted henchmen resort to using the stun-gun.īilly is led into the same habitat as Stacey.
Meanwhile, his other henchmen have gone out into urban Cleveland and captured Billy from the basketball court. He briefed his closest guard on this and told him to make sure that the other human children do not find out about his plan, fearing an uprising. Soon after, however, The Keeper came to the conclusion that Stacey would need to be eliminated, on account that "something was odd about her". The Keeper then left her in there, telling her to make herself comfortable and that she was going to remain there for "quite some time". He warned her of his nefarious alarm system, dragging his closest guard by the ear to demonstrate it. He came to the conclusion that she was not very bright after she had failed to understand him, he did not realize that she was deaf. He informed her that she was one of several specimens he had collected in an effort to realize his grand vision of an intergalactic zoo. Terrified upon seeing some aliens gawk and take pictures of her in her habitat, she was greeted by The Keeper. She looked around and was soon captured by two of The Keepers henchmen, who were en route to England. She stepped in and soon found herself in a chamber which served as an (interdimensional) teletransporter. Curious to see where they came from, she went up the stairs, and noticed a strange green glow from the closet in the master bedroom. They discussed their plans to capture normative human children. She noticed two strange men in suits coming down from the upstairs. He decided to continue practicing his skills, while Stacey looked around the abandoned flat.
His peers, disgusted with his behavior, decided to leave him at the basketball court. Stacey would not stand for his bullying and ran off to an abandoned, derelict flat. When his schoolmates agreed to include Stacey, Billy mistreated Stacey because she was deaf. Two of these, Billy and Stacey, were rivals at basketball. The Keeper was already active in finding human children for about a week when he decided to send his henchmen to a very urban part of Cleveland to capture some American children.
He would sometimes use it to supress them, in an effort to maintain order and control over his specimens if they talked during their feeding time. To collect his specimens, he would send his henchmen to capture children using a stun-gun that emitted a high-pitched noise that would overstimulate the subject into submitting to the will of the captors. He employed an alarm system designed to give off an extremely high pitched sound, a sound so powerful that a person would be paralyzed and in agony within seconds, and insane within several minutes from the overstimulating noise. The Keeper was quick to abuse his henchmen in an effort to demonstrate to his specimens the consequences if they attempted to escape from his zoo. His appearance was frighteningly sordid, he had poor oral hygiene, he looked unwashed, and his clothes matted and dirty, perhaps a consequence of being so obsessed with his goal. It is implied that he might have been a space and time traveler as well. The Keeper was very eccentric and insane, spoke with a affected tone, and had an inexplicably British-sounding accent.
