He and his employees live in a constant state of paranoia that The Company is listening to their phones and watching their search histories. Why? Because on the bottom floor of the facility, rows of padded cells keep a group of humans in a constant state of extreme sensory deprivation. With their minds awake but their senses unable to ground themselves, they have gone insane, oscillating between vegetative states and fits of violent rage. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese experiments have a purpose, though--when the minds of these inmates transcend their physical selves, they're able to \"intercept\" the sights and senses of anyone in the world.
