3 questions.
1. What is the mortality rate?
2. Who enforces discipline?
[ You can learn a lot about the culture of a ship through its rules. He rules out HYDRA -- they're usually more cruel and efficient than this. Here, he and the others are animals in a trap, at the mercy of unknown entities powerful enough to draw and keep all of them in here. He doesn't give voice to these thoughts.
Eyes and ears in the walls, in these devices -- he doesn't trust them, his paranoia is his greatest asset. ]
3. Where and when were you from, at the moment you were taken?

1. Better than home.
2. The ship itself is alive. Get too far out of line and it'll dedicate itself to containing or eradicating you.
3. I was in Alaska fighting off the Commie bastards who invaded. It's winter 2066.
[Two out of three answers are outright lies. And his first answer is based in optimism more than fact because he doesn't actually know the real answer.]

3. It never really got an un-vival. It's been going strong for over a hundred years, freaking out senators, panicking U.S. businesses, spreading paranoia about communist infiltration...fun!

3. Short story: China and the United States of America decided that they hated each other because of resource shortages and crap. The USA got paranoid about Alaska because of the oil up there. The USA refused to share and was afraid that other countries would try to take it. China invaded Alaska, the USA invaded and annexed Canada...the whole thing's a fucking mess.
