And who do you think's keeping them contained? Locus is the dude calling the shots here. Them staying there is his decision. And, actually, he could very well be keeping them there just because he can, but for a reason that... I don't really like.

It's his character, you see. From what we've seen so far, Locus is the stealthy predator hiding in the shadows, keeping a close eye on his prey until the right moment to strike. This is the basis for him to be a douchebag villain that I'm probably not going to like. Because it's too cliche. Lines of his like  " We're going hunting. ", and the tone of his voice when speaking to the Reds and Blues... it just makes him out to be a giant prick. He's THAT kind of guy who does stuff for the "thrill of the hunt", he knows he's a badass and toys with his prey. What a cockbite.

But yeah, that's why I could believe the Reds and Blues are being kept there just because they can. Locus is "hunting" them, and the last encounter was to see if they were worthy or whatever.

Or, alternatievly, they wern't being kept and just hadn't made any attempts to leave. Which works too, because... they haven't. well even though they are the only ones who fought them, the news has spread all over the galaxy about the defeat of the project, if you were a military faction and a more advanced military faction collapsed, wouldn't you salvage what you could? Such as the americans when they stole stinger missile technology from the russians during the cold war
