[Despite being on the turtle for nearly six months, this is Rictor's first video post. He's commented with video and audio, but has largely hidden behind anonymous consoles in cafes. What with Malicant having Network access and not trusting this whole politely-worded mass abduction, it's seemed prudent.

However, this post is going up as an unencrypted video feed, because he wants people to actually trust and use the code that he's come up with to help them, and not disregard it as a potential virus from the enemy.

He's typing at the keyboard as he talks.]

I'm attaching instructions to this, walking you through how to set up your console to ping someone else's mailbox if you haven't used your login to access the network in a set number of days. It feels like there's been an uptick in disappearances lately, and I haven't been the first one to notice.

Do your friends a favor and set this up so they don't have to ask if anyone's seen you and break into your place to see if it's been cleaned out yet. If you don't have any friends, do the rest of us a favor and set it up to somebody's box so we can keep track. Use that radio guy - Kent, or whatever his name is. Shit, use mine for all I care.

This song-and-dance of "I saw the kedan cleaning her place" out is bullshit, and only covers one kind of disappearance.

So disappearances have been a problem before, but it's just recently that there have been a lot... Any idea why?

[And why hasn't someone set up a system like this before? Not that Rex is going to yell at this guy over that. At least he's doing something about it, even though it's too late for those who are already gone, including Doctor Holiday.]

Your guess is as good as mine, kid. I don't think anybody knows how they're controlling the arrivals and departures. Or if.

[People have used similar codes in the past, but it's never been shared over the Network how to do so that Ric could find. It's not something that most people think about, and it was only after finding a very old post of Tony Stark's that it even occurred to Julio that it was possible.]

Great. Well, even though I just got here, guess I'd better find a couple of people to be mailbox ping buddies with or whatever you wanna call it. Definitely better than nothing.

Thanks.

[Yes, isn't it comforting? Welcome to his ulcer.]

You're welcome. I'll leave the welcome wagon routine to people who can tell you where the bakery is.
