I'm going to take on the character of Eddie....here's my post/1st move:

Now that we have escaped the prison I fear the authorities will find me. I must separate myself from the others. This time the punishment will be far worse. Unfortunately, our chips act as one; escaping them will be precarious. Right now we're heading for the plateau and I dread to know what is there. Criminals and two-faced greedy monsters. I regret getting my chip, I knew it sounded too good. Life was much simpler on the beaches, how I wish I could be there right now. What I would give to have my feet in the warm sand.
