[Lance is broadcasting from his kitchen, although aside from the backdrop being pretty universal among apartments it's otherwise difficult to pick out anything distinguishing about the room; he doesn't spend a lot of time in the kitchen, so it hasn't been too customized yet. But that suits his purposes well, since it doesn't reveal much and isn't too distracting.
He might look a bit tired, but still bright-eyed and welcoming as he addresses the camera.]
Hello, everyone, and especially all the people who are new; I know this is probably still all really strange.
[He'd been new not all that long ago, after all, and despite having been here a few months now it's still strange.]
I wanted to take the opportunity, both because of new arrivals and because of what happened at the end of last month, to remind everyone that the Clinic isn't just for physical injuries and illnesses. Although I'm not always at the Clinic, I'm a psychologist and if anyone wants to talk you can always contact me through a direct message to set up a time to meet.
[And, like last time--two months ago, it's hard to believe--he decides it's worthwhile to explain what exactly he means, for people whose world's don't have counseling.]
For those of you unfamiliar with what a psychologist does, it's basically our job to listen to and help with any problems someone might be having mentally or emotionally. Sometimes just one session of talking is enough to help, and sometimes it takes more regular meetings, but it's always up to the individual whether they want to continue with counseling. Additionally, anything you say during a session is confidential.
[Because that's pretty important to mention. And okay, main announcement now out of the way, he has a few individual messages to send.]
[Private to Brennan and Zack]
How are you both doing?
[There are some specific things he wants to go over with them both, but first he has to check up on them.]
[Private to Henry]
[He's a little nervous about messaging Henry, but hopefully it'll prove worthwhile.]
Hello, Henry. I was hoping we could speak.
[Preferably in person, since it's easier to read people that way, but he'll discuss that part after--if--Henry agrees to talk to him at all.]

Thank you. There has been a lot of work put in by a lot of people over the whole time anyone's been in Hadriel, as far as I understand.

[But more importantly--]
You were here before and left for a time?
[audio]
[audio]
I wonder why the Door would bring in the same person multiple times, particularly with so many people to choose from.
[But curiosity part aside--]
I'm not sure if 'welcome back' is appropriate, considering the situation.
[audio]
I appreciate the thought.

[He's not sure when Oscar returned, but that seems important to ask.]
[audio]
[audio]
[Which is so encouraging.]

[If the information in the guide on his device is correct, and they are indeed the same "inorganics" that were responsible for what happened to the city's former inhabitants, then they must view the current residents as disposable.]
[audio]
[And neither are the gods, of course, except that they need them alive at least.]
They also kept mentioning that they were noting any resistance.
[So if they post again in the future, be careful not to get a target accidentally painted on oneself.]

[In other words, they should all be careful what they do or say where it might be heard by the wannabe robot overlords.]
