[septette]

[The voice that comes onto the network is that of a younger-sounding girl, though it's crackled and rough, as though the person it belongs to just got done screaming themselves hoarse.]

You'd think someone with the ability to rescue people from a "dying world" would have the decency to maintain a friendly and helpful world themselves. Hospitality. No mental, emotional, or physical torture. From what I've seen through this network and in person, though, perhaps my expectations should have not been so high.

At least the food is satisfactory.

[There's a pause.]

Though, Val is a trooper. As much as I wanted to rip apart her processors a good chunk of the time, she did help us. [She makes no effort to explain who "Val" is, figuring anyone who wouldn't know isn't from the Facility at all, and thus not really worth her time.] It's rather hard to believe that she'd just get blasted away so easily, after she held us there for so long. I don't know about the rest of you, but this 'your world has been destroyed' theory seems like an awful lot of tomfoolery.

[Another pause, the rest of her words being said deliberately in French to bypass the auto-translator.]

No rest for the wicked, but there's no rest for the heroes, either.

You know, I've been checking the network pretty frequently since I arrived here, but this is the first thing I've seen that I'm genuinely curious about. Who the hell is this Val you're expecting us to know about? And I suppose I agree, but I think everything they tell us is bullshit anyway.

[fusedstars]

You're from the facility?

[The word Val had caught his attention immediately.]

[septette]

Correct.

[septette]

If you don't already know, there's no point in telling you.

[dark_matter]

Eh? I thought it sounded interesting. You seem to be an idiot for bringing it up publicly and not expecting people to ask.

[fusedstars]

And who are you?

[septette]

An idiot? [She laughs] I expected questions. I just have no plans to answer them.

Ask the network yourself, if you're curious.

[septette]

Who am I?

[There's a pause. Should she say so? Should she just remain quiet? Who was this guy, if he knew the Facility?]

Remilia Scarlet.

[fifth_kazekage]

[Oh, another one from the facility. He doesn’t recognize the voice, though.]

Compared to the facility, yes. [Talking about the food.]

[fusedstars]

[No one he knew of, but still, it was clear this being knew of the facility.]

I am Hei.

Tell me, what do you last remember of the facility before coming here?

[beknightedheroine]

_{[Sayaka had listened to the message. and been about to close out of it and scroll away forevermore - but the line at the end, in a language she didn't know enough to understand - that caught her. It's not often you catch someone specifically speaking in one way or another, and she caught maybe one word out of that - and she's pretty sure it was 'the.']}

Is that.. French?

[septette]

I saw Week 162.

[septette]

I had begun to grow sick of those energy bars. [Not like they gave her any nutritional value anyways. Lol vampire.]

[septette]

It seems someone has a good pair of ears.

[fusedstars]

[Most likely from the future no doubt, like Ishtar it seemed.]

And what happened during that time from after we had the help of Val to defeat the scientists on the station?

[fifth_kazekage]

Bland and tasteless. Likely intentional. The Doctors wanted to ensure that few aspects were enjoyable.
