That's a possibility. It's a possibility that we are code and that they are messing with that. At this point in time there is no way to know, until we can examine these devices for ourselves or get answers from those withholding them from us.

[It's frustrating, not knowing these things, but there wasn't anything they could do about it now. Keep their eyes and ears open, stay alert, pay attention for things...that's the best they could do. At least people like Hinata were there, surely working towards learning what's going on.]

For now, focus on surviving. They may attempt to kill us, and even succeed, but do not allow them to take you quietly and without a fight. That is how a true rebellion begins.
