Morning Weather
[Have a cheerful special TV broadcast, with schoolchildren and reporters gathered around a small animal enclosure.]
“It’s partly sunny with a few overhead clouds on Groundhog Day, Live from the McKinley Zoo, where Ethan the local groundhog is about to leave the burrow and give us our seasonal forecast. According to legend, if the groundhog comes all the way out of his burrow, spring has sprung! But, if he sees his shadow, he will return to hibernation for another six weeks of winter (brrrr, and after last month’s blizzard, we want some warmer weather headed our way, Ethan! It’s up to you!) With mottled skies, it’s a total toss up for us today, folks! And here he comes- (fingers crossed now, kids!)

There’s- no shadow! Looks like spring is finally just around the corner!”
High 8°C and a low of 1°C (46deg;F/34°F)

Current Moon Phase: Waxing Gibbous

Morning sirens go off at 7:44am, and evening sirens are at 5:07 pm.

[ It's close to midnight. Claire is sitting on her bed, Mr. Muggles curled up on her lap and deep asleep. Her hair is shorter- much, much shorter. ]

Okay. You all can see this - [ She gestures up to her new hair. ] - right? A lot shorter.

[ The feed ends there, then comes back on ten minutes later, with her hair at its usual length. ]

Looks like today is February 2nd again. [ Annoyance is clear in her face. But she is a little glad; she didn't want to start off the new day with an awful haircut. ]

[Raul actually found himself not minding the whole time line issue. There was something to be said for having the same thing to do every day, and a routine to follow through. He's at the Community Center this time, though.]

As we all know, it is once again February 2nd, 2012. At this point, we can clearly see that things are not going well. Yes, Newcomers have been able to fix some problems, but more problems have also been caused because of us.

We need to fix this. I know there are many of you out there who have been theorizing on ways to help fix the Core. It's time to get together and figure things out. I have contacted the Governor Townshed, and he has agreed to meet with a small group of Newcomers, so we can explain the situation to him.

[Pauses.] I, personally, do not believe we should help the Port for free. But I am asking for others to aid me in explaining to the governor what we need to do. And I can say now, those among us who have been trying to figure out a way to fix the Core? You will be needed, and soon.

If those who wish to help could start grouping at the Newcomer Community Center, we'll be going to the Governor's office before sirens.
