Nah, for me Danielle turned into a luné by the loneliness, the 16 years might be a miscalculation, since it's based solely on the radio message, and Ben is f*ing son of b*, that adopted Alex instead using her in experiments, with other children, that Walt hinted us are in the others facilities. Waldo (LOL) was guarding a complex with at least 27 rooms. Who knows what is behind the rest of doors?
Thinking about that, the obsessive protecting behavior of their facilities, makes sense if the others are protecting their children.
