Hey, so, uh - has anyone else had any thoughts on how we should deal with the... anomalies? Should we be calling the copies that? It feels kinda. Iunno. Disrepectful. Inappropriate?

[ Angel - who's just outside the bunker in the snow - gives the feed an uncertain little shrug as Rhys pops into view. ]

It is — we, they are what they are, why bother sugarcoating it. Don't think they're gonna be offended.

[ There's mumbling, bitter mumbling, from this peanut gallery. Rhys isn't looking at the camera, he's focused on the dented and lifeless robot in his arms.

There’s conflict in his voice. Quite a bit. ]

I'd be offended, and one of them is me, so. [She gives Rhys and The Robot Corpse Formerly Known As Dumpy an unhappy little look before returning her attention to the tablet.] Um, anyway - I thought it'd be prudent to at least share details of the ones we've seen? And how they act, or what they can do? To avoid further casualties as much as possible.

[ That look stops him arguing the point further, at least. He purses his lips and shakes his head, yet says nothing until she’s finished. ]

Some aren’t intentionally aggressive, like Enoch and... and Angel. Just toxic huggers, or they hold on a little too tight.

[ This is accompanied by a tiny wheeze that prompts another look from Angel. FUSS TSUNAMI INCOMING. ]

Yeah. Um. On that subject - if you've been touched by my-- by the one who look-- by the other me, please let me know as soon as possible? I can fix it. Um... kinda.

[ And now it's Rhys' turn to give Angel a look. Hrrrm. ]

[Now that everything seems to be working again...sorta, it seems like the tablets are on the fritz which is...terrifying considering that's the only thing that's got any music left.]

Hey uh...

...look I'm not really big on apologies but I just wanna let you all know that I'm back to normal now and...and-- [This is hard.]

--I'm sorry for acting like a complete butthead.

So if you didn't see, the idiot evil version of me broke my Zune. And that means no more music, except what we got on the tablets. And now the tablets are freaking out so that's just great.

The Zune was...important to not only me, but to all of us. It's been there for me, us, during the worst times ever. And even if it's gone, it won't be forgotten. [Is this a eulogy? Maybe.]

Anyway, if you got links to any music, maybe we can put 'em all together here in one big thing. Cause that's all we got left.

[He's not about to cry, no.]

I contacted the administrator about what happened to us, and I have some... potentially bad news.

[ She looks and sounds very calm about it, but anyone even slightly familiar with Angel probably knows that's the norm for her. A worried little frown does appear as she continues, though. ]

She refused to confirm that Robert Miller was in custody, and only said that she's doing what she can to contain the problem. Iunno how familiar you guys are with PR speak, but that kiiinda sounds like he's still on the loose to me. He is - er, was? - the tech guy, so I suppose if anyone would know how to evade detection via the nanomachines or security it'd be him.

I think it would be prudent to collectively step up our game when it comes to remaining vigilant! Try not to be alone, maybe set up some kind of shift system for sleeping so that someone's always on watch, that kinda thing. We probably won't be able to stop anyone being taken again if he wants to do that, but perhaps it will help us get a distress call to the admin as soon as possible? In - in the event that he'd try something similar again, anyhow.

[ She's not actually convinced that they'll be able to help themselves at all, no matter how prepared they are. But feeling like you're doing something is important, right? And she's good at lying, so she can at least sound like she completely believes what she's saying. ]

Sorry. To be the bearer of bad news. This freaking sucks.

[ Denial is strong.

Reality is, eventually, stronger.

Rhys is facing the camera, set just a little bit back. Enough to see a few things wrong with the picture, with the most glaringly obvious being the glow of his left eye visible through a couple layers of bandages. He's trying to muster up a glare of his own, uphold his pride, though it's obviously a struggle. ]

Okay. I m-might -- might be considering that this is all actually, really happening. Except if it is, I-I'm pretty convinced it must actually be hell, not limbo. There's no food -- [ that he likes ] - freezing would feel balmy right now, a-and...

[ The shoulders slump. He lights a cigarette with Dumpy's overturned thrusters, a slow and clumsy process that barely works. He isn't a smoker, but what else does he have to calm his nerves? ]

What am I supposed to be doing?

[ A puff, a cough. The robot hand holding the cigarette is lined with red, certainly something that SHOULD NOT be happening on inorganic matter. Yet there it is, plain as all the other pit divers. ]

...I burned my tie.

[Yeeeeahh...he doesn't really want to show his face in front of everybody right now. Even if he doesn't have quite the yeti-beard yet.

Maybe it's on its way there, but regardless...]

Hey, look, I just wanted to...uh, say sorry for...pretty much everything I've ever done ever, and everything I'm probably going to do in the future.

And considering how awful things are right now, in times like these, a little music's always helped.

So...

DJ Star-Lord here again.

We're having the first-ever karaoke night, brought to you fresh from Norfinbury, Alaska!

Here's how it's gonna work.

I'm gonna play some--free, yes actually free songs, and you guys can record them on your tablets, and play your performance back to us. Or choose any song you already have, whatever. Free for all, no order, belt those suckers out and give it your best shot.

Bonus points for dancing.

[He doesn't sound as upbeat as he once did when he first started playing music and called himself DJ Star-Lord. In fact, it sounds like he's trying very hard to pretend he's in a better mood, but hey. Music. Singing. Dancing.

Even if he couldn't dance right now.

He plays the following songs:

Superstition, by Stevie Wonder
Love Will Keep Us Together, by Captain and Tennille
Time in a Bottle, by Jim Croce
Shining Star, by Earth, Wind, and Fire
Fame, by David Bowie
Tragedy, by the Bee Gees
Rock with You, by Michael Jackson
Don't you forget about me, by Simple Minds
Alone, by Heart]
