Ah – there.

[ A slender young man in casual clothing appears on-screen. He smiles, a bit sheepishly, before speaking. ]

Sorry about that – this is just a lot to get used to, all at once. Showing up out of nowhere, and then almost immediately...

[ He holds the gun up to the camera – gingerly, almost distastefully, and about how you'd expect someone who'd never touched a firearm before to hold one. ]

They can't really expect us to fight, can they?

[ A small sigh. He lowers it back off-screen, eyes darting down to it on occasion. After a moment, he frowns tiredly before speaking again. ]

Anyway - my name is Lelouch Lamperouge. I'm a student at Ashford Academy, located within Area 11. If anyone else from the general area can hear this, or knows of some way to return, please get back to me immediately.

[ He reaches forward, hand hovering over the feed for a moment – and then the video ends. ]
