Steve Rogers
[Steve looks a little tired, and solemn, what with all the death and chaos that's been happening, but he's slightly less brusque and businesslike than he often is when making PSAs.]

Good afternoon, Norfinbury. ...So, uh, since I arrived here I've been keeping really close track of sunrise and sunset times... best as I can, anyway, with the weather. After today, I'm certain—the days are getting longer again. Far as I can tell, we passed the winter solstice three days ago. This is good news—we'll have more and more daylight hours from here on out, and eventually better weather and warmer temperatures.

This also tells us a little about where we are. Winter previously told me that Norfinbury is near a town called Kotzebue and that we're in the Northwest Arctic Borough; America was able to tell me that Kotzebue's on Alaska's west coast, about thirty miles north of the Arctic Circle. Since we never had a day of no sun, this puts us by definition south of the Arctic Circle, and south of Kotzebue. We ought to be fairly near the coast as well, which is a good thing, although what that could mean in terms of actual mileage is anyone's guess.

[Steve pauses for a moment, and his face takes on a softer, kind of wistful expression.]

...All of this also means we know the date. If the solstice was three days ago, then today is December 24. Tomorrow is Christmas. [Tiniest of slightly sad smiles.] Merry Christmas, everyone, and God bless you.

Those of you not from Earth or a version of Earth I'd recognize... Christmas is one of our most important holidays. It's a time for peace and goodwill to all people. A time for giving. A time to show love and kindness to each other.

I pray that we can all find just a little bit of that peace this Christmas.
 
 
The Hooded Figure
*Sup Norfinbury, its time for creepy video sharing time!
It starts off with a shot of snow and rubble. How exciting! It stays on this for a bit, so its okay if one thinks this might be boring video sharing time at first. After a few more shots of snow and rubble and perhaps a bit more snow the video jumps to...something. Its too heavily distorted to see what, but the normal screen-pulling Norfinbury distortions are present as well as Brian's tearing and staticy distortions. And just in case you thought creepy, silent video wasn't enough there's a short but loud burst of a metal screeching sound.

The video then abruptly cuts to a shot of Clayton looking exhausted (from this entry, if anyone would recognize it). He's saying something but the sound has been removed and after a couple seconds the video jumps to a shot of: more snow!
The snow has "STAY AWAY" written in it. There's then a half second of static followed by a video of the funeral home's morgue...with the drawers popping open and the corpses sliding out. (This may also be familiar to some viewers. It cuts out before the light gets bad enough to break anyone's tablets, though.)
After another half second of static it returns to the previous shot, only now "FROM HIM" has been added to below "STAY AWAY." It stays on this message for a good ten seconds before cutting to a short, and heavily distorted, video of someone cutting open a stuffed monkey.

There are then a few seconds of creepy, distorted hospital hallways before the video shifts a final time. The last shot is of a wall (in building 143) with a numbers drawn on it in charcoal. It says "9513390313793583953179"

Aside from the burst of static near the beginning and some footsteps in the hospital hallways, the entire video is silent.*
