//Seto, 8
th July//

It started out like any other regular day for Seto Kaiba. He entered the building at 5:30 am. Usually he spent the night at Kaiba Corp, working weeks at a time with little or no sleep. However, it had been the weekend, and Mokuba's birthday, so he had been at his manor.
 
He entered the building, taking his private elevator to his office on the 40th floor. He walked in briskly, laying his briefcase down on his desk and studying the huge pile of paperwork that had accumulated over the weekend he had been gone.

'The one week I'm gone the duel disk malfunctions.' he thought grimly. The papers were all complaints from customers that had
not "appreciated" the working of their duel disks. Apparently there had been shortages resulting in the injury of duellists. To Seto's mild amusement Joey Wheeler was one of the victims. He tossed the paperwork to the side then opened up his briefcase and began messing with his latest project. His secretary could handle the charges. Or so he thought....
 
Later that week his secretary came up and knocked at the door.
"Mr. Kaiba?"
 
"Come in." Seto snapped moodily, not liking to be disturbed. The young girl came in, frowning nervously. `What could she be afraid of? Besides being fired for delivering a bad message...' Seto thought.
 
"I'm so sorry Mr. Kaiba but..." she trailed off, somehow losing her
voice. Seto ignored her, but simply took the papers she had in her hand. He looked over them once, twice, three times. He blinked and read a fourth time.

His worst nightmare lay in these papers.
 
To: Mr. Kaiba, Former CEO of Kaiba Corp
From: Edward Stoutwealth, Injuries and Death Department
 
Mr. Kaiba,
 
Due to the malfunctioning of your 'Battle City' designed duel disk, a duellist has been killed. A short circuit in the design caused by cheap and ineffective casing electrocuted him to death. A lawsuit has been filed against Kaiba Corp, or more accurately, against the person designing and ordering the making of the casings of the 'Battle City' duel disks.
That person is you. In Kaiba Corp contract, the price of paying the lawsuits isn't worth simply disposing of the unwanted staff member who caused the problem. You are being given a week to remove your personal items and remove yourself from the premise.
 
My highest sympathy.
 
Edward Stoutwealth, Injuries and Death Department
