[ To anyone who has seen Galen over the course of this insanity, it's worth noting that when he appears on the feed, he looks more... present, and more like himself, than he has in days. He also looks exhausted, but that's a little, tired smile on his face. ]

Hey, uh... I hope everybody's okay. [ His nose scrunches a little, edging his glasses back up. ] I, uh. I wanted to apologize in case I like... you know, weirded anyone out while I was... gassed up? Is that what happened? Uh -- and is anyone else... coming down, I guess? I feel like shit, but I don't like... see anything. Anymore.

[ He clears his throat, scratches his head. ]

And hey, Anna, can we talk?

Is that what that shit was? Gas or somethin'?

[She means just in general. She hasn't spoken to you, yet. Just your face double. So she's sure she's still trippin' balls over whatever the fuck the people who run this place were doing. If that is what was happening.]

[gleans]

That's what somebody said, but fuck if I know for sure. I just know mass fucking hysteria is not normal.

[charring]

No, it's not. I almost want to call it mass hallucination, but everyone was seeing different stuff. So, that rules that out.

[gleans]

The airborne thing sounds likely, I guess. [ And he sounds way too tired to care. ] The last weird shit was airborne. But right now all I care about is it being over and everyone being okay.

[charring]

Same. I think I hurt someone during the mess, but I'm not sure.

What...happened last time? I'm new.

[gleans]

Uh -- rigged Christmas presents. They had something in them that disabled a sense for a while, it was pretty fucked up.
