"Yeah," Valerie said. "I mean, this place is fun and all, but I'm actually interested in finding out more about this place. Have you been reading all the journals Danny? There are a lot of things going on here, and as long as we're in this strange place, we're going to have to find out what all these other things mean. I've heard about Lumens, and something about an Organization or something."
