[The face appearing on the screen looks disoriented, tired, and very fed up with life in general and the City in specific. Greg's on the footpath outside Porter tower, apparently having just arrived and gone through the entire welcome-to-the-City procedure.]

Does our lovely overseer do this often? I've just been dragged home and back again. I can't say I enjoyed the experience- I don't think I was there more than five minutes. [He sighs, shoulders drooping, and runs a hand over his face.] If you're listening, Miss Lachesis, a bit of warning would be nice. We're not all as young as we used to be.

John, you all right? Must've given you a bit of a fright, dissapearing like that. [Greg was last in the city over a month ago. But it's only been five minutes to him.]

I guess we're supposed to say welcome back.

[Greg brightens to see her. When he'd heard it had been two months instead of five minutes there'd been a number of people he'd worried about. Gretel had been one of them.

He laughs.] That'd be the polite thing to do. But I'll let it slide just this once.

[She grins widely.]

I'm glad you're back Mr. Greg. You didn't miss too much. Other than a singing epidemic. And the attack on the school.

[He's about to chuckle at singing epidemic when-] Attack on the school?!

Yeah. It was during my first week. Some freaky dog things attacked some students during class. One kid died, I heard. I don't think anyone knows who set them loose.
