This is a place called the Facility. We're all captives here.

[denyamenti]

Captives of whom?

[liesbysmiles]

Of the facility. Before it was scientists working here, now it seems to be the computer named Val.

[ that prompts a frown ]

Scientists?

A computer... Kaiba would love that.

I'm sorry, I don't know who that is.

How unwelcome?

[denyamenti]

You're rather calm about all this.
