[ 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?

I heard about that, fuckin' lions and shit in the woods. Is that for real? [ A beat. ] And hey, what's with all the airborne shit here? They just pumpin' crap into the air 'til we go nuts? Huh? That's not real responsible with your hostages.

[gleans]

No idea. I guess that's the fastest way to drug this many people, since, like -- fucking with us and seeing what happens looks like their M.O.

[magnets]

Why not the water? That's what I'm sayin'. Whatever happened to good ol' fashioned roofies? Nah, they gotta be all fancy and shit.

[gleans]

I think the how of the drugging is kind of low on the list of things to worry about. The last thing could've been in the water too, though, who knows.

[magnets]

I'm still kinda wonderin' about the 'what', mostly. You ever heard'a anything that can cause that kinda shit like we were seein'?
