From the introduction:

I am a great Alchemist and you are in my Laboratory. I created you as Anthroparia and matured you in an alembic until you emerged as you now are, Homunculi. As Homunculi you are forbidden to speak or make any noise except when you are being taught a new Abraxas by a Psychologist – at which time you may repeat the Abraxas until the Psychologist confirms you are pronouncing it correctly.
