[Video switches on only showing the surrounding area with tombstones. It's obvious Boris is walking through the graveyard.]

Sergei, Yuriy where can you two be?

[He sounds weary as he speaks] If that son of a bitch did anything to either of them, I'll...!

[He pauses until he brings up the communicator, revealing how fatigued and beaten he looks

[...] Are you alright?

[rghthandneoborg]

Just peachy. Who are you? Are you one of the residents here?

I see.

I'm Ryou Naruse; I was brought here the same as you.

*sobs* Poor Naruse

[rghthandneoborg]

Someone just mentioned about you, to me. You knew another me? [Please excuse his blatant skepticism.]

[angelic_lawyer]

...They did? As you're apparently not him, it would seem so, yes.

[rghthandneoborg]

Interesting. Does that occur often here? Also, how do you get in contact with these "scientists" who brought us here?

[angelic_lawyer]

More often than one might otherwise expect.

You could try communicating with them over this device, but an answer can't be promised. Otherwise, it seems to lean towards 'impossible', I'm afraid.

[rghthandneoborg]

This is going nowhere. Are they too scared to reveal themselves to us? After imposing themselves on us and forcing us to remain here?

[angelic_lawyer]

It's possible. I'm not sure I'd like to presume. Regardless, it's far easier to hold the image of powerful beings when your face is unknown; people fear what they don't know, after all. The aside, I imagine it makes their lives a lot easier; we were brought here for and by them, not the other way round.

[rghthandneoborg]

I've already had enough. I want out of here already, they shouldn't keep any of us here when we clearly don't belong. Whoever and whatever they're trying to make themselves be it's not worth subjecting us to it.

[angelic_lawyer]

I'm afraid there's no choice in the matter. What we do or don't want, what is right or wrong; it has no bearing.

[rghthandneoborg]

Wonderful. Is it always this pleasant here?

[angelic_lawyer]

In a word, no. It's not.

[rghthandneoborg]

Looks like I'll have to make myself comfortable for the time being.

[angelic_lawyer]

It would seem so.
