Sorry this took a while. Had the idea all along, was just lazy to type out the story.

The companions entered a well-lit hall, with three arched doorways, all locked except two, the one they came in from and the one opposite that. There was also a small wooden door in one of the corners. Clavius opened the wooden door to discover a small stash of dried food and water. Lee and Jeanne who took a peek into the other two entrances
"Looks like we're going to be here for a while guys," Clavius said as he held up a loaf of bread. Everyone groaned. Feeling hungry, they sat down, had lunch, and discussed their circumstances. If rationed, the food will last them for about 2 weeks. They had no idea what had happened to them but all five agreed that they had to work together to figure out a way out.
After eating, the companions headed to the room opposite to the one they came from and started looking around. The room was of the same design as the previous one, but there were 6 computer terminals in the room. There was a larger terminal in the middle, surrounding in a circular pattern by the other 5. They tried accessing the terminals. The screens of the surrounding terminals flared to life.
"Ah! There is internet connection! Let's try contacting someone!" Jeanne exclaimed. She tried sending out emails or logging on to instant messaging services, but they were all blocked. She looked around. Everyone had the same disappointed look on their faces.
"Now what?" asked Dave. His question was answered when the screen of the middle computer lit up, bearing the following message;
Welcome fellow friends. We welcome you to the Labyrinth. We are sorry for the ... way we had to bring you here. We can't have you knowing where you are or what is happening - that will take the suspense out of this ... experiment, no? You will know the reason behind this when you find your way out.
Well, enough small talk. Here is the second piece of the puzzle you have to solve. We bid you good luck and we look forward to seeing you, if you don't get lost in translation before that.

Experimental Log - E-029
12-15-2008: Putting DNA into the heart of Vire gave rise to an enigma. It proved troublesome.
12-21-2008: We still can't solve it. Julius will be back from vacation in a week. Maybe he will have an idea.
12-27-2008: Julius said he had an idea. We are waiting patiently. Let's hope this gets solved before New Year's.
12-29-2008: He did it!
12-30-2008: Experiment was completed successfully. Moving on to phase 2 trials next year.

"Is this some sick joke?" groaned Lee.
"I don't know but looks like we are their white mice, whoever they are. Might as well play along," replied Dave. "Someone hit the keyboard."
Clavius who was closest to the terminal pressed enter.
