Well, it's funny how quickly time flies when you're having fun, isn't it? [ Oh there's so much sarcasm there. He's had such a great week. Actually, there's a pretty annoyed edge to his tone. ]

I want to thank eveyrone who's stayed calm over the past week and a half. The way the community's pulled together has been really inspiring. I know I can't speak on a national scale, or even a state-wide scale [ :( ] but I can assure you that as a city, we're going to make sure that we have procedures in place, and that we can do everything we can to ensure both the safety of both the natives, and you. If anyone has any suggestions, my brand new communicator's on, and my door's open, so I'd be happy to entertain any ideas.

That being said, please remember that the authorities are out there to help you, and if you suspect something shitty's going down, I'd encourage you to report it to the people you trust the most, as well as the police.

[ A small pause. He taps a pen on the table. ]

Stay safe out there, and let's pray we're overreacting.

Been collecting it, have you? What resources are you offering?

I've been doing my job, yes.

Namely my mind. My services. My lab.

[a pause.]

And, I hope, a means of testing.

A means of testing? Let me hear it. If there's something that'll work, we need to entertain the idea.

Even encrypted over the network, you understand that this information is too sensitive.

Best in person, if you need detail.

I understand completely. If you want to stop by my office, I know it's secure.
