[No video. Getting to be a habit with him these days, but really... who wants to see him looking like he does right now? Thank him later. If he sounded bad before, he sounds much worse now. The way someone would sound when they've spent a week vomiting. That's why he keeps the message relatively short and sweet.]

I tested the, um... the verstatsi. The U.E.'s drug.

In case the obvious needed stating: don't try it.

Full report coming once I can get my ass outta bed, but I can tell you it's about half-opiate, half-synthetic. The comedown's a total bitch and I ain't just talking like regular use. I mean like one shot and you're gonna need another fix in a few hours unless you like spending the next few days worshiping the porcelain god. Seriously, I'm a professional and this stuff... is bad. I don't think we got a lotta samples around here but take my word for it and don't mess around with it. I done H. This is worse than H. Way worse.

So that's your little P.S.A. and don't roll your eyes 'cause this ain't some D.A.R.E. bullshit, yo. I'm serious.

[Wow you said a bunch of stuff this poor innocent baby does not understand, but he is getting the vibe that it is bad.]

Are you going to be alright? Why does the U.E. have a drug? And why did you test it?

[hostage]

I'll be fine. I been through this before.

They got a drug to keep their people happy and peaceful-like, easy to control. But when those people come here to get away from the U.E., they get sick without the drug. So I tested it so I could figure out how it works, what kinda sick they're feeling, and maybe work on a cure.

That's...awful. They control them with an addiction. [THIS IS KIND OF SIMILAR TO THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED ON AZEROTH he understands it now. And man, that is hella creepy.]

This is why we have to stop them. This is why we're fighting this war.

[hostage]

That's right. This kind of shit is exactly why we gotta take these guys down.
