Well that's what they told you anyway.

In the bowels of the hospital are a couple of unmarked rooms.
They're not on any plans and most people in the hospital draw a blank if you
ask for directions.

Thats where they keep the incubators.

The guy who told me abiut it said it was Roswell but that's the "X-Files"
talking.
All I know is when people here get transplants, they get a feeling they have
do something.
People with no connections outside this hospital all knowing they have some
cause, some destiny, but none of them know what exactly.

Sounds like someone - or something - else is giving the directions.

Just keep taking its food - sorry - I mean...your meds.  You'll be fine.
