Penn looked to Bartholemew as he spoke. The entire argument was pointless, and he was wasting time speaking to Dite when he could have been using the same amount of time to show them the key components to the Facility, as well as everything that he had currently gathered to answer the key question. Like he had told Dite, he could answer why they had all been brought to this location. However, he was well on his way to answering that question. Even though he did have some help from others residing in the Facility, he was the key holder of all of the information. He documented every thought and possibility about the origins of the masks and the importance of the location. 

As he was too caught up in the petty argument, he had forgotten if he had already introduced himself to these people before. "If I've already said it before, I'm sorry, but my name is Pendleton Howl, and I and the head of the Facility, the underground building you are all in right now." He spoke to them all. "Anyways, I'm sure you're all at least somewhat hungry from the journey all the way out here, so we'll be moving along to the kitchen for you all to grab something to eat, then the gathering room, so you can all meet others like yourselves. After that, we'll see just what happens, and go from there. Any questions?"
