[The last time Saul was seen on the network, he was about to choke out a member of the Initiative.

He's calmed down since then.

In fact, the look with which he greets the network is positively cheerful, thought not so much that it takes away from the businesslike atmosphere he's trying to cultivate with this post — he's got work to do, damn it, so he's in the most official-looking room he could find, seated in front of the camera with folded hands. Suit: check, tie: check, pocket square: check.]

This isn't how the story goes, but: good morning, Moon.

For those of you who don't know me, the name's Saul Goodman. I work for the Department of Initiative-Transport Relations with the lovely Queen Medusalith Amaquelin-Boltagon — [He pauses to smirk. What a mouthful, right?] — and a whole slew of other equally lovely folks. We're here to help you in matters concerning Initiative-Transport goings on. Now, here I'd usually take the opportunity to ask you all to lay whatever questions you might have on me, but because things are so crazy right now, the best answer I can give to any question will probably be a confident "I don't know."

We'll update you as we're updated.

Anyway, I'm coming to you today with a request. Lots of people are gearing up to go on supply runs, which is great. Go team. If those of you who've gone on runs already or plan to go could check in with me here and let me know what it is you're bringing back, that'd be super helpful. I'll make a list that everyone can refer back to, so no one has to double-up on fetching supplies that might not be necessary.

[So he might be a little bit worried about the lack of resurrection technology. That might be a thing. He just doesn't want anyone taking unnecessary risks for the sake of DVDs or... or whatever.]

Thanks.

Mm, you do. Did something good happen?

If you look for them, you'll find that good things are always happening.

[~~barfs~~]

[the look she gives Saul is basically "eww that was disgustingly positive"]

Is that so.

[HE KNOWS. HE'S SORRY. HE CAN'T STOP.]

You don't think it's cool that we're on the moon?

[ewwwww]

It lost it's appeal the moment I was unable to use my magic properly.

Ah, right. Because of the nature stuff? Or... lack of?

Mmm. I am still capable of magic, but not the kind I prefer.

Sorry. Look on the bright side — can't really beat this view, eh?

It is something, I suppose.

You suppose. Pfft.

What? I told you it lost it's appeal.

What about the VR room? Have you tried that out yet?

[she tilts her head]

No? I have only heard of it.

It's pretty cool. You should go when you get the chance.

[Which makes him laugh to say because hahahaha, like anyone around here is busy.]

Perhaps I will.

[wait for it . . . ]

What is it's purpose?

[Of course.]

Virtual reality. Escapism. Does a damn fine job of making you think you're somewhere else.

Ah . . .

[nope still doesn't get it]

. . . I will go check it out, then.

You have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?

Not one bit.

I'd volunteer to show you, but I'm not totally sure how it works, either. Why not ask around? I'm sure someone would be happy to show you.

I think I am better off escaping to a real forest. However I ask will have to put up with all the questions I will most likely have, and I am starting to feel bad about inflicting those on people.

[Well there's a red flag. Saul tilts his head.]

Why's that?

[DOES HE HAVE TO PUNCH SOMEONE ON TEMPEST'S BEHALF?]

[it's more that she's embarrassed asking so many questions but she will never admit that]

Because I have so many.

So? "Wisdom begins in wonder."

[When in doubt, quote ancient Greek philosophers.

Or Shakespeare.]

[like Tempest knows the difference]

Even so . . .
