☠ VIDEO (dated october 15)
[Normally, Sans prefers text. It helped him sidestep the inevitable set of questions that arose when most humans got a look at him. Of course, text had its limitations. There was something about the old book that couldn't be directly translated through a roughshod filter of comic sans.
Lack of experience translates to poor focus when the video starts streaming, but aside from that blurriness the feed is notably steady. No gaps, no garbled words, no sudden disconnects. A nice change of pace for anyone who attempted network communication in the past couple weeks.]
Testing, one, two. [The video is focused on an old book, open to a few blurry pages.] Seems like the Nerd Herd came through, so here's hoping I am too. [Anyway.] These last few weeks I've been pretty booked checking out the library. There're some racy tomes in there, fyi, for those of you into that kinda thing.
[He flips the page. And, while blurry, the hand doing the flipping is definitely... fleshless. The page itself is hard to pick out specifics, but a lot of it appears to be annotated with handwritten notes.]
This one's a bit on the dry side, but for all the former Thisavrou residents... Well, looks like whoever survived came up with a nifty name for what went down with Mother. The Great Catastrophe. Catchy, right?
I'm gonna upload some pages. I get the feeling people who lived through it might be able to speak to its accuracy more than me. [The pages come in later, thankfully much more readable than the video.] Reason I'm wondering is, uh...
[He uploads another page. This one mentioning a passage of light. It bluntly details how several crew members walked into, but did not return.]
Look, I get the Ingress's been gone for three hundred years, but... sound familiar to anyone else?

I think we've got some pepper hiding somewhere if you want a little kick with it.
[That's not even funny either. But still--]
[Wait.]
[What.]
My -- my what now?

video;
She's... not. No. She's fifteen.
video;
I'm guessing older brother isn't the right answer, either?
video;
[Not by blood, anyway. But that's... actually fairly close to the truth, these days, isn't it?]
She's my teammate.
video;
But something in the way he spoke of her told a deeper story than that. Something from a time before this one, back where ever the complicated home Shiro mentioned was.]
Sounds like a pretty good team.
video;
[So he just nods.]
They are. All of them.
