is there a fucking reason why we can't just blow this place to hell and let it burn?  Ain't nothing those doctors can do if there's no Institute left.

It's not like you don't have the materials.  what's wrong with all you goddam "geniuses" if you can't even manage a single fucking bomb?!

I think I take offense to this, considering 'genius' was used in the note.

Something happen, then?

Unless you claim to be the only genius here, or happen to have been unsuccessful in creating an explosive device, then I don't see why you should take offence at this, as it's hardly directed at you and you alone.

I take offense to it because he is questioning our intelligence based on our inability to decimate the staff, head doctor, and building in his allotted time schedule. However he's being rather violent about it, isn't he?

The statement is so general and clearly directed at the inhabitants at large, so I fail to see why you would assume it is directed at those of us who are legitimate geniuses. After all, people will often use the term 'genius' as an insult with little provocation.

Provided that the word is in quotes, I read it to mean that while we ourselves are geniuses, he is questioning our status as such. I do not believe he thinks everyone in the building is a genius, and if so, why put the word in quotes?

Equally he could be using the quotes to signify that "geniuses" is intended as a general insult to all of the people who comment frequently on this board with new information about this facility; perhaps trying to indicate that if they are smart enough to do this, why have they not destroyed our captors?

After all, I doubt there are many who could be considered legitimately a genius, and as he doesn't appear to have known about you (assuming you are in fact intelligent enough to warrant such a term), I doubt he was trying to insult you in particular.

Well, such language is hardly called for. And I don't understand why you're blaming the 'geniuses' of the Institute for failing at creating an explosive device, when all we have available are chemicals used in medical experiments.

And I identify myself to everyone on this board. Everyone should know who they are dealing with.

And soon, I'll know who I'm dealing with here as well. Mark me.

You touch him, you die.

Unless you want to see every secret in your head ripped out and plastered here - decoratively bordered with your intestines, should I let my partner get in on the act - I'd recommend not acting on that information.

I'm not afraid of the dark, or anything that lurks in it. Mark me on this.

I'm surprised you're not going to do that anyway.

Yes, well, there's only so many hours in the day.
