So, uh, it sounds like most of you aren't used to this whole "end of the world, coming back again" she-bang and it's got everyone all out of sorts. Which is starting to make a shitty place get even shitter.

So I'm here to help you out. Let's call it "Your Guide to Surviving the End of the World" by, yours truly, IPRE’s Number One Evocation Wizard, Lup.

I'm not gonna get into the whole lecture about the planes of existence because we all already know that shit, am I right? We're like the poster children for coming from different planes of reality so. Instead I'm gonna give you the real facts, from someone who's seen the world end 50 fucking times.

First, don't give up and don't don't lose sight of who you are and the people you're with. Going through this stuff can tear you down, make you wanna give in. But out here in space, that's all you got. So you have to hold onto and believe that we're all gonna make it outta here.

And... that's it!

I mean it's the end of the fucking world, how much more straightforward can you get? You don’t need me telling you what it was like. But I guess if you still have questions, I'm a 50 time end of the world survivor so AMA if you really wanna get the deets.

[ the video feed flickers onto the face of an older gentleman; unflattering low angle, poor lighting, eyebrows hanging heavy over his eyes and lips tightly pursed. he's wearing a nice, heavy coat over a hoodie and a t-shirt featuring a sick ass space shark, though much of the ensemble's coated in a fine yellowish dust. looks like it could use a wash.

not his main concern right now. ]

Really? [ one corner of his mouth quirks up, wry. ] Cast across time and drifting lost and alone amongst storms of raw negative energy, but you've got social networking. How very... human, I bet a human knocked this up. D'you call it Spacebook or something?

[ original dad joke, do not steal. no apology is forthcoming.

the camera swings round, losing sight of him for a second as he sets the device down on something solid. re-adjusts it until it's centered properly on his face, steady now. ]

Hel-lo, Avagi. I'm the Doctor. Yes, just the Doctor. I arrived on your quaint little space station only recently — not the worst I've encountered. Well done. Probably... well, possibly not even in the bottom ten, but I mourn for some of your equipment. Someone made off with two-thirds of your laboratory, you realize, and ohhh, the state of your computers...

[ briefly aims the camera up at one of the aforementioned storms. ] But I must say, the open-plan observation station is a bold design.

[ casually tossing topics out as he rapidly approaches the actual purpose of this broadcast. this time he points at the screen, seriously, ]

Has anyone established themselves as your de facto leader yet? I'd like to know who to ignore.

The rest of you, tell me about the Ingress as it was, and the planets you've visited. Any of them.

[ over and out. ]
