[Gently:] Good morning, Exsilium.
[It almost sounds like a reminder.
Saul's looking just as businesslike as he did in his last network post, this time broadcasting from the Observatory. Elbows on his knees, hands clasped in front of him, he leans in and addresses the camera with an expression that's a little too somber to pass for neutral:]
As of last night, Medusa's gone home.
[He hopes that's where she's gone, anyway. He's never sure what happens to people after they disappear.
After a moment, the look on his face softens.]
For the time being, I've assumed the role of Director of the Department of Initiative-Transport Relations. Medusa and I started this together back in May, when its purpose was to foster trust between us and the Initiative by way of hiring liaisons to make announcements on the Initiative's behalf. Friendly faces, right?
But it's clear to me now that there's no use for that in our current predicament, so the Department's getting a bit of a makeover.
First of all, our name suggests a two-way street that's been, for the most part, frowned upon by those of you who still don't trust the Initiative — which is fine, by the way, since I'm not here to twist any arms or force Kool-Aid down any throats. But I'm gonna go ahead and make the radical claim that the Initiative needs us right now as much as we need them; their numbers are low and their world is gone. If anyone can sympathize with them, it's us.
So consider this my suggestion that we all get over ourselves, suspend our rightfully grouchy biases, and work together for everyone's benefit. The Department's new role will be to assist with that process. I know, I know, it sounds crazy, Saul, but here's the thing: we're on the moon because of a common enemy. And before anyone says the United Earth wouldn't be their enemy if they hadn't been dragged here through space and time in the first place, I'm here to tell you that you're sadly mistaken. If we can't band together a little more tightly, we very well may run out of time up here — and if we go without fixing what the United Earth did to all of us, there'll be no way to prevent them from crossing universes and destroying all of our homes, one by one, until there's nothing left.
[He leans back.]
I dunno about you guys, but that sounds pretty shitty to me.
I'm open to suggestions for how we can accomplish this successfully. [Which is a key word, because he sees no other option. They either succeed, or they're all screwed.] As for current Department staff, liaisons will remain liaisons with a potential shift in duties toward aiding the Initiative in keeping track of what they need help with. Any current liaisons who have no interest in this position should let me know, and we'll talk. The greeter duties haven't changed. Anyone interested in working with us should drop me a line. We'd be glad to have you.
Our new office is located in room 206 in the west wing. I'll be there later today.
[There's a pause, then, as he runs a hand through his hair to move onto other business.]
As far as supply runs are concerned, the list I promised is now available and can be accessed through the network. It'll be kept as up-to-date as possible, so before anyone heads out on a supply run, please double-check to see what we have on base to figure out what we need.
To anyone bringing back money or making investments, I'd like to suggest we set up a fund of sorts that can be drawn from for future missions. Not everyone here is comfortable with things like thievery, y'know?
Anyway, that's all for now.
Thanks for your attention, everyone.
[And the feed cuts.]

Door's open.

He's so considerate.
Poking his head inside:] Hey.

She then looks up, and smiles tightly. ]
I'm really weird, you can say it.

You might now realize I rarely use the G-word, but otherwise, joking about it makes my life easier.

...probably longer.
Anyway, Saul figures, you know, what the hell. Might as well just do what he came here to do, right? There's no need for dumb jokes and awkward chatter.
So he opens his arms.]
