[A brand new face greets the network today. Although this is Alexander Hamilton's first time using such a device to address a large group of people, it would be hard to guess based off of the confident gleam in his dark, intelligent eyes and the cordial smile he offers his audience as he holds the MID out far enough for people to clearly see him.

In other words...GATHER ROUND CHILDREN, 'CAUSE THIS ASSHOLE HAS BEEN HERE FOR ALL OF 48 HOURS AND HE'S READY TO SOLVE SOME PROBLEMS.]

Ladies and gentleman, and all androgynous species I've yet to have the pleasure of meeting:

It has recently come to my attention that this ship is in apparent need of a new justice system, as well as security measures designed to curtail future violence. But before I delve into that, I'd like to establish some reasons for making these changes in the first place.

I probably don't need to remind you, but I think it bears mentioning: we have given our consent to live and work aboard this vessel until it reaches its destination. This destination, as I've been told, houses people with knowledge and expertise related to the Ingress, and are currently our best bet in getting home. Personally, I've got a lot of shit to do back home, and I highly doubt I'm the only one here who wants to leave. Do we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that these Ingress experts can help us? No, but until we find any better clues, this is the best shot we've got, and I'm going to take it while learning as much as I can about this universe and the circumstances that brought us here in the first place in hopes of going back as soon as possible.

Undoubtedly, some of you take issue over whether our current destination is the best course, but I think we can all agree on this: the ship doesn't run as efficiently when crew members do harm to one another, which hinders our ultimate goal of finding a way out of this mess. We can argue about morality and cultural difference all day long, but it doesn't change that fact. Any policies or laws we put in place must absolutely promote and uphold the objective of keeping ship life running smoothly and effectively so we're better equipped to reach our respective destinations, wherever they may be, as quickly as possible.

With that in mind, I'd like to posit the following basic principles underlying the plan I've written:

( THE PRINCIPLES )

[To signify a shift in his address, he pauses and leans his weight to one side.]

Now, based off of these simple concepts, I've drafted a basic plan that should mitigate a lot of our current security and safety problems.

( THE PLAN )

So! [The word is punctuated with a bold smile.] Now that we've gone over this plan and its underlying principles, we've got a couple of choices. We can all keep spitting disorganized ideas into the wind, or we can hold an official discussion over my plan, make any modifications needed to satisfy people's misgivings, and put it into action. What do you say?

[Hamilton doesn't address the fact he's a new arrival or spend any time propping up his credentials. His message, he believes, should speak for itself. And if anyone wants to take umbrage with some upstart's ambitious proposal, well...they won't be the first, and they sure as hell won't be the last. That's fine, though. He loves to talk to people about his ideas, about the future, and if "talking" occasionally involves yelling and hurling insults, he'll gladly chomp at that too.

YOU'RE WELCOME, EVERYONE.]

[At a glance, Nate doesn't seem too perturbed for a recently spirited away from home guy who never expected to go into the upper atmosphere of Earth, much less make it to the far reaches of space. Either he's extremely adaptable or he's great at putting up a front. Then again, why can't it be both?]

This is where we all share a little about ourselves, right? [He raises a hand in a casual wave. Those who have met Nate since his arrival might notice that he is now wearing a wedding ring.] My name's Nathan Drake, my hobbies include climbing and digging into the really dusty parts of the library, and I don't actually like long walks on the beach that much. Which I wouldn't have thought would be an issue since, you know. Space. But then we went to Vacation Planet.

[The cheerful expression of an amiable wiseass slips a little, revealing something closer to wonderment.]

I've gotta tell you, when I boarded my plane home, I didn't expect to end up outside of the solar system. So far, space isn't what I would have pictured. But the view on the observation deck, wow—it's pretty out of this world.

[He chuckles at his own pun, because he's the kind of person who does that.]

Can't say coming here would have been my first choice of next career moves, but I can think of worse places to be. Anyway, good to meet everyone, or at least talk at you. [He shrugs.] Close enough.

[It's a pretty simple video. Just a quick shot of the door to MORO ROOM # 021.]

[Except, adorning the door is a chalk sign. One that reads:]



[And Sideswipe laughing obnoxiously to himself in the background as the video cuts out. Take that, Starscream.]

Good morning, everyone!

[Al has a very young sounding voice, but it's bursting with warmth and enthusiasm. Far too chipper for first thing in the morning, which is when he's sending this out.]

I've found a book, and I was hoping people might be able to help me with what it means. Oh-- and I don't mean that book about cheese, though I don't really understand what that's about either.

[One of the more bizarre things he's received. He clears his throat a little awkwardly and then gets down to business.]

I'm sure everyone remembers going home, or-- to some places that looked like our homes not long ago. Well, on the last day I went back, I found a journal, one of those books that woman was always writing in. I've been trying to decipher what was written in there, but it's not of a language that I understand and it's not in a code that I'm familiar with.

I'd be more than willing to show it to anyone who wanted to help, I'm sure there must be some clues as to how that version of the Ingress worked inside it, and that might help us all to get home a little faster. Anyway, if you're interested, my name is Alphonse Elric and my rooms are on the Moro Deck.
