[ It’s a wonderful day in the Cave, what with the crystals still shining a redbrown chestnut as they had yesterday. Maybe not so wonderful considering the person on the screen appears to be... off. Obviously still human, but not quite right, a bit of a twisted visage while looking strangely familiar at the same time. He raises a hand to begin speaking, accent crisp and as straight-laced midwestern American as humanly possible without being some hilarious caricature.

As of the time this announcement is posted, the message from yesterday appears to be locked down and impossible to reply to any longer. ]

Good afternoon, everyone! I know everybody heard that weird message earlier and you don’t need to worry about that anymore. It was some sort of glitch in our communication network and I’ve fixed it so that it won’t do that again. So carry on with whatever you guys do and don’t worry about what that glitched message said, okay? New systems like ours can be finicky and things like that can be expected until it’s fixed.

[ … by the end of the transmission, it seems sys.admin// is still replying to any messages left to him/her despite this person’s claims. Oh wait, there it—no. No, it’s still open. ]

[ Hello, world! This is Tony DiNozzo (otherwise known as Thomas Anselmo) waving for the camera.

… wait, camera? Yes. Camera. He’s grinning and seems far too pleased with himself for this, one arm reaching outside the frame to hold up the device he has. ]

Hey there. My name is Thomas Anselmo, as some of you probably already know. I hope it’s obvious by now, but we’ve got a new system up and running. Trust me when I say this one is about a thousand times better than the one we had before. Why is that? Well, great question, me. I’ll tell you! This particular network has enough strength to boost itself right across the Overworld and get you right in contact with anyone in the City. Or vice versa, since I’m doing that right now.

Sorry we didn’t have this ready when you guys first woke up. It was in the works; just didn’t want to keep you guys waiting for too long. [ He winks. His distraction is momentarily stolen by something past the camera, and he makes a few faces as if trying to converse without actually saying anything out loud. Thomas eventually rolls his eyes and returns his attention to the device. ] Also, Robert Franklin is back in the saddle. He’s in charge of anything to do over at the Library, so if you have a smart person question, you take it to him.

Got it all? Good.

—oh! One last thing... and this should be up soon, so: all of you in the City should check the southwest metro tomorrow. There’s a surprise waiting for you there. Free tickets and everything, so you can ride as many times as you want. Have fun.

I understand I've missed the pilgrimage. When is the next? I'm eager to return to my duties life.

[It's total bullshit but hey, T'Pol knows how to do as she's told.]

Good morning, Sleepers! Have a nice nap? I hope so, because there are a few things we need to go over now that you’re conscious. Seriously, take the time to read this and save all of us a few headaches. 1. Murder is still against the law. Whatever twisted reasoning you’ve got going on in your head, you might think that only counted in your dreams. It doesn’t. Don’t even dare try it. We will catch you and you will be punished. 2. Pay attention to curfew. If the lights dim and go all kind of amber-like? You’re out too late. Only authorized personnel are allowed out After Hours. If you’re caught, you will be escorted back to your quarters and given a warning. 3. Your dreams are not real. This one is hard for a lot of people. Trust me. I know. That doesn’t mean you should act on anything you think you might know from them. Chances are only the most common of sense still holds true here (which doesn’t include your names). If you insist that your dreams are real and try to force this opinion on others, the guard force will act. 4. Don’t forget your ID. If you haven’t found it yet, it should be next to your bed inside your quarters. These are necessary to get into many major establishments around here, including your own rooms. Try not to lock yourselves out. That said, we’re all in this thing together and I’m here to help you. If you have questions or need clarification on any point, reply to this bulletin and I’ll get back to you at my earliest convenience. - Rep. Anselmo, Guard Force
