[Merlin is going to forgo the camera option on the tablet, and the voice option. Why would he use those when there's a perfectly good text function that could be used that doesn't quite hide his identity, but at least people wouldn't be quick to put a face to the name.]

10-97 code no 1. 10-56 kitchen. 10-65. These things seem to work a treat but that's probably about all I can say about things working in this place. Not even the windows like to open, which I believe would be a problem further down the line should this place decide to get warmer. No staff and no way out, and I believe these are all things mentioned previously by others, and I doubt I would need to go through the same initiation rites as others may have. It's pretty obvious that if something can bring us here then they can work at keeping us here. I have bad news for them, and that it's people tend to work harder when they're stressed and this place is primed for just that. Hopefully no-one feels the need to die during our journey to find a way out. I wouldn't want to be cleaning that up. You can all keep the urge to murder your fellow inmates to yourself, we wouldn't want anything untoward happening and that would be counter-productive to the task at hand.

Should anyone feel the need to reply to this, then I want the details of what has been attempted so far and the results so I can go over them before looking further into this. Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated in times such as this.

Well gee thanks I'll go right ahead and do that, Mister.

I'm Coraline.

I'm surprised you haven't done so already.

Nice to meet you, Coraline.

It was three years ago, I don't need to congratulate myself anymore.

Nice to meet you too, Mr. Mysterious-Talks-In-Numbers-Man.

There's no sell by date on it but that's your prerogative.

Maybe one day I'll tell you what they mean. Unless you manage to figure it out before then. You can call me Merlin.

Merlin? Well you win for coolest name of people I've met so far.

I'd be concerned if you knew a lot of people with the same name.

It's not about the same name, it's about COOL names. Like there's a guy named Donald. Not a cool name at all.

I guess you lose points if there's a lot of people with your name, though.

It would be less cool if other people had my name, it wouldn't be so unique. You would just label it as another "Donald" and be done with it.

They'd lose something.

Yeah, that makes sense, though Merlin's cool enough that you could get away with maybe one or two other people with the same name running around and still have it be cool.

If you start off with something like Donald though, you're screwed.

Everyone is named after someone at the end of the day. I will just have to deal with any other Merlins as they show up.

[that may or may not be a joke.]

Definitely not Donald.

I hope we're not talking about murder again, Merlin. Murder is bad.

Murder isn't in my job description.

Okay that kind of makes it sound like it could've been though.
