We made your life miserable, and we intend more of the same.
We (so far as possible, so far...) subtracted jobs, travel, shops, visiting and holidays, libraries, museums, galleries, sports, singing, dancing, opera, plays, the countryside, cafes and restaurants, pubs and hotels, schools, colleges, science, health services, meeting friends and family, dating and courting, church, marriage and funerals, human physical contact, human faces...
You know what? This list is boring me.
Let's just say we have destroyed - as far as we can manage in a short time - all that was real and social and made life worth living beyond mere subsistence, mere survival.
Why?
For the sake of exactly what I just said: survival.
Everything we do is justified by your survival.
And survival is exactly what we offer in return for what we have taken.
No more, no less.
Not life - but survival.
And when we have succeeded in this; when we have all of you at the level of (mere) survival; miserable and despairing but alive; justified on the basis of mere survival...
Then Surprise Surprise! You know what?
We don't care about your survival At All!
So now you have consented to have your entire live-ing stripped away, just so that you will survive; we will start killing you...
(Or, as many as we cannot find some temporary use for.)
You say that we lied?
Sure we lied!
What did you expect?
Did you seriously believe that we care if you live or die?
Ha Haa! Ha Haa! Ha Haa!...
