[The feed opens on a close up of an Enjolras whose gaze is stoic as he looks upon his audience. If one knows him well, they can see the signs that everything is not at ease here. His eyes are a bit swollen, and there are some dark circles there, but in contrast to his appearance when he came to Temeraire earlier, his cravat is carefully tied and waistcoat unrumpled. There was little he could do about the tangle that his hair has become, but he has yanked it back into a tight queue for the moment and at least it is out of the way ensuring he appears, at least, somewhat orderly for this video.]


As Temeraire states, the results of our team investigation were relatively unsuccessful as they were interrupted by the creature of shadows who has sought to do ill here. My personal apologies to any who have been concerned at my absence and silence both while within his realm and upon our return here. It was not my intent to cause anyone worry or harm, and I intend to see that those others among our number are recovering as well. Accept my apologies for not having done so sooner and be aware that I intend to make amends if any of you were especially concerned or worried.

[He would add more perhaps, but doing so borders very dangerously on appearing as if he thinks he does not deserve what happened to him there, and more, for what he's done, so Enjolras stays silent on that point, starring straight ahead into the console as if he is trying to meet the gaze of any who would come to see him now.]

I ask if everyone that is seeing this, would be so kind to grant me the privilege of some time more for solitude and reflection, but please know I will come to you when ready, unless of course, your matter is more urgent, at which case I beg your forgiveness for my presumption, and should be ready to assist at once.

Thank you.

[And his gaze remains unwavering, mostly, almost disturbingly as the feed switches off.]

I've seen my fair share of weird things, there's no denying that, but this place? [ She shakes her head slightly in disbelief. ] It's a pretty large pill to swallow. I guess I can't really argue with the fact that we're, though; if we could, I imagine a good portion of you wouldn't still be here. [ "A good portion" because she knows about Stockholm Syndrome. ] So if it's alright, I'd like to ask you all a couple questions.

First: how long have you been stuck here? Second: if you could go home, would you? Why or why not? Third: how long did it take for you to accept that this wasn't some sort of dream? And forth: is there anyone here who has heard of or, even better, is part of Fringe Division, or am I all by my lonesome? [ She offers a friendly, though perhaps a bit uncomfortable and stressed out around the edges, smile before she ends the feed. ]

As the collection and sharing of information seems to become an increasing problem the more newcomers are brought in and old residents are lost, I have attempted to collect what data is available on the network and record it in audio so that it can be understood by all. A link is attached to this post.

[Look! A link. Enjoy information about the Malicant, Asti, the Mainland, and more!]

The information is sparse enough, and I'm afraid that I am not accustomed to this kind of information gathering. If there is data that I have overlooked, I would welcome it.

[Richard wears the mask of measured calm and confidence that he is accustomed to sporting for all official matters, so he does not let himself look tired, but he is. He is so very is. He has searched through as much information archived on the network as he could, and he now understands why his advisors seem kind of irritable sometimes. New appreciation for the clerical staff in his administration right here.]

The intention of this collection of data is, first, to have it given to newcomers on arrival, and second, to have a central location to which we can add new information and updated reports. The hope is to keep us all better informed and make it easier to establish what information needs to be gathered from what is already known. While we can give his file as asked for by new arrivals, any suggestions from those technically inclined on how to make the data more easy to access and update is welcomed. Commander Evandau has also expressed a willingness to give this information to new Foreigners on arrival, should the Emperor give consent. [If only to spare Evandau and Eshai getting the same questions over and over at audiences, but hey: it will solve problems of distribution if they can do that.]
