[ The video opens with a fairly standard head and shoulders shot of Drake, who seems to have made himself comfortable at a desk or counter of some sort in the research building. The lighting is much dimmer than the bright flourescent of a regular lab setting, but workable and almost pleasantly ambient. He has a few small desk lamps and behind him are various machines and computers - or at least they look like computers, a few of which seem to be on, as they blink out different colored patterns in the background. There are screens and dials and big, boxy looking equipment scattered around, and who knows if any of it works or what they're meant to do.
He looks annoyed, as per usual.]
Hello! If I could have your attention for just a moment. I don't mean to interrupt everyone's happy fun times, but -
A beach party?!
Really? Right now? That's the response that a threat of this magnitude gets? Did you all miss how insidiously pervasive that complete memory stamp was? Or how it went on for a month, and would have gone on longer if the Agrii hadn't broken through?
Miss Starling wasn't too happy with me for expressing an admittedly prematurely low opinion of you all when I suggested that the ship might be too full of finger paints and coloured pipe cleaners to fit necessary equipment I wanted to bring back from Coruscant.
Well, friends, this idiocy is exactly what I meant. Thank you for confirming that I may as well be on a planet inhabited by talking ficus plants. This is-is-it's...I have never seen this level of incompetence and irresponsibility after such a direct, powerful, multifaceted attack.
I'm trying to find out what caused it and how to prevent it from happening again. And I expected the same or better of everyone else.
Mr. Kaplan provided a list of names of some people who were here during the time a race called the Atroma were present. He thinks they might have had a hand in amplifying the effects of his abilities. So if anyone knows a...
[ He looks down and a scrap of paper comes into view]
...Wanda, a...Soldier? Lance, and Keith? please send them my way, I need to have a chat. Or if you're listening, feel free to get back to me here or leave a message.
If any of you have even the barest hint of a sense of self-preservation, I would appreciate some help. I would ask elsewhere, trust me, but apparantly everyone's lost their minds and there's no one left who isn't a sudden hippy with the memory of a goldfish.
And by the way. The mobile analytic laboratory probe is ready for field work. You're welcome.

[ Yes Kaz is aware that probably wasn't stopping them from watching anyway but the idea was not to make things easier for them. ]
And it doesn't matter who I am. You specifically want to study certain people? People that may have had an amplifying effect on Billy's power? Yes, that would be using their powers, and like it or not that's what other people will think. I am now sort of marveling at how much you really don't understand human behavior if you really don't understand what I meant in the first place when I said anyone friendly with those you already named will now be wanting a piece of your hide whether your just study their friend or not.
But if you're really so dense that you didn't think of any of that before you posted your temper tantrum in the first place, I'm sure as hell not going to keep trying to explain anything else to you.
[ Kaz is irritated that Riley just threw a wrench into some of Kaz's plans, but arguing over the internet will accomplish nothing, so with that Kaz breaks the connection. Yes, he sure did hang up on Riley. ]
