[ 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.

[Ah, the hateful little angry human who doesn't deserve to open his mouth.]

The Kree know far more of war and trauma than you, and we are aware that it is needful, after a time of stress, for soldiers to be given shore leave in a safe location to re-energize. If you begrudge them a single day for this, then you are no military man as you might claim.

What caused what happened was the torture of one of our number by sinister forces. You would begrudge him a means by which to rest and recover? What happened was the override of many lives here, and you would begrudge them their relief?

[She tilts her head and sneers.]

I know what you are. In the Kree military you would be one of those so certain of their knowledge that we put them safely behind desks to 'analyze' information so their bad ideas may not poison valuable soldiers.

What Lauri-Ell said. And I've been fighting as an insurgent against a fascist government since I was 14.

I know about risk assessment.

'A threat of this magnitude'?

[She laughs]

Last month was a walk in the park compared to all the other stuff that happens here.

But your people skills could definitely use some work.

[ And you've now been officially labeled as a loud and very irritating idiot for Kaz. ]

Setting aside your opinion - and yes I think it was a screwy reaction to a month of brain-scrambling - do you actually know anything at all about human behavior? You're also an idiot for even mentioning the Atroma on the Network but now you've gone ahead and done that, and three times an idiot for actually saying you wanted to use the powers of anyone by name. Everyone that is friendly with them will want a piece of your hide whether you damage them or not.

You were tormented by FUCKING EVIL ALIENS into using REALITY WARPING GOD POWERS and you need to UNDERSTAND!?

No. FUCK NO. My brother is NOT GETTING HANDED OVER to a fucking psychotic evil scientist AGAIN!

Yes, I need to understand! I don't want to hurt anyone. And I could do a whole lot of hurt.

It's not like that, Tommy.

Then how do you propose we stop it from happening again? To any of us? Because I don't have a clue, and it can't happen.

OK, good. I was about to offer to be there with Billy if he wants anything to do with whatever these testd are.

I mean, I still am happy to do that, if we need guard shifts.

I would accept assistance, but I will always be present. I will allow no further harm to a member of the royal court of my people.

As an Accuser and guard of the throne, I am compelled at all times to serve the safety of the royals. I am also able to easily extrapolate that, since His Majesty cannot perform your protection himself, he would entrust me with such duties.

In this, Prince-Consort William Kaplan-Altman, I will not be foiled.

You really think some bullshit scientist wannabe could even begin to understand what you can do, or find a way to protect you from the people that kidnapped us and can keep YOU here?

No. Fucking. Way. Mutants don't put themselves in skeevy hands of questionable scientists.

I'm all for understanding what happened better, and I sure understand you wanting to know more about your abilities in general.

Not sure about this dude being the one to go to for that.

At any rate, I'd be glad to sit with you and keep an eye out for anything shady, if you're sure you want to go through with this.

Did he tell you he could help you understand? Help you regain control? Help FIX it so it won't happen again?

That's what they fucking told Frank and Mary to sign on the dotted lines, B.
