[In a rare moment of using video on purpose, there's Jayce. To those who know him, he looks the same as he always does. To those who don't- he's an early 30's man with seemingly a permanent five-o-clock shadow, bright golden eyes, and perfectly coiffed hair. The background is out of focus, but to those who know it, it's clearly a part of S.T.A.R. labs. Normally a little more jovial or at least less serious sounding, Jayce looks into the camera like he's giving a press release.]

We’ve got about forty-eight hours or less until Aurora allows that toxin into Etraya. Which means if you haven’t started taking precautions already; start now. Get easily carried food, medical supplies, whatever you think you'd need. Better to be over-prepared than under.

Considering what Aurora's told us about the "mission"... If you’re someone prone to having weapons, do us all a favor and throw them into one of our many, lovely lakes, before you wind up using it on someone else. Or, if you’re going to be touchy about it, let me know, I’ll talk with Harold about how we can get them locked up somewhere for the mission’s duration.

As a reminder to those who don’t want to think about it, and maybe new information to those who are new: if you die here, for whatever reason, you lose something. I don’t know what, you won’t know what, and you might not even know what it is you’ve lost even after you’ve lost it. Maybe it’s an eye, maybe it’s the memory of your best friend. Either way, whatever you're afraid of by not having your weapons on you isn’t worth what you’ll be making someone else lose because of your bad decisions.

If you have any special concerns, worries about any specific denizens in this upcoming mission, now's also the time to voice it.

dude i can see.

( he has really good vision ok. )

[hexcope]

It's a bland gray background. It could be anywhere.

[solarson]

ok. i guess i’ll stop by then since you’re not there.

[hexcope]

Why are you going there, anyway? It's not a place for kids. It's a lab with dangerous equipment.

[solarson]

( the real question is why are you lying, mister??? )

because i know that place and want to see if it’s like back home.

[hexcope]

You want to trapse around a lab? Well, last I heard, it was full of traps to stop people from getting in, so you shouldn't be going there anyway.

[solarson]

what kinds of traps?

[hexcope]

Ones you don't want to get caught in, I'm guessing. I don't know, I didn't set them up.

[That at least isn't a lie!]

[solarson]

can you dismantle them?

[hexcope]

Why would I? It's doing it's job of deterring you.

[solarson]

wow that's really rude.

[hexcope]

I already said it's not a place for kids, so sure. I'm rude. Go find a playground or something.

I can take him.

[solarson]

you know this guy??

[brat]

Do I need to?

[solarson]

i mean..... no.

[hexcope]

Oh no, my crime of telling a kid to stay out of somewhere dangerous. What are you going to do, arrest me?

[brat]

Do I look like the police to you?

[hexcope]

Fairly certain cops have a 'you must be this tall to join this force' sign outside their door, so you got me there.

[brat]

There are twenty-seven bones in the human hand. If one is precise enough, fracturing every single one of them is possible.

[hexcope]

I'll add that to my book of fun facts. Do you any thoughts on how to actually prepare for this mission, or are you just going to threaten my bones all day?

[brat]

Throwing away one's weapons will just put those who rely on them to be able to stand up to those around them at a disadvantage. For example, I do not need the tools I carry, but I have frequently utilized them to disable others whereas if I had been left with nothing more than bare hands, I might have been forced to take more drastic measures.

[hexcope]

Let's say my weapon is a big explosion that blows up everyone's face. Do I get to keep it?

[brat]

Then the real question would be why is someone walking around with an explosion capable of that, if they do not have the resolve to put it out of arm's reach themselves during this.

[hexcope]

We agree on something! Finally.
