[The feed starts, focusing on a sparsely decorated apartment in the Wood Sector and a young man sitting at his console. He's a big guy, barely fits in the chair provided for him and to say he looks uncomfortable would be an understatement. Public addresses aren't his thing - Connor isn't known for flowery speeches, much less talking when it isn't necessary - but this has to be said, preferably to as many who are willing to hear it as possible.]

A warning to newcomers; food is in abundance now but it was not so only a short while ago. The Emperor may have opened her stock but this is likely only a temporary arrangement. [He'll just leave off that this seems more like a way to appease the masses and keep the kedan from escalating further than an act of charity and get to the point:] You would do well to stock your supplies and prepare.

A list of wild plants that are edible to humans is being compiled, with descriptions and drawings to come. My intent is to distribute this freely among ourselves and the kedan, in hopes that it may hold off hunger should the situation worsen. [It's a temporary fix at best and he knows it, but at this point anything must be better than nothing.]

[An awkward pause now that he's come to the conclusion of his post.] Thank you for your time.

[TURN IT OFF TURN IT OFF.]
