- A scathing editorial in AGI’s print media criticizes SERO for the deployment of dangerous means of riot control during last Wednesday’s fiasco, including using experimental heat ray weaponry which emits microwave frequencies to disperse crowds. The piece includes pictures of a man with blistered skin, being treated after the ‘Normpocalypse’ event. It concludes by expressing concerns for any use of SERO technology including Voids at the Core, pointing to conspiracies of hostile city takeover.

- Meanwhile, morning reports note that protesters have gathered at the steps of City Hall, armed with angry signboards, declaring that Townshed should step down from his post as Mayor for failing to have adequate emergency procedures in place for powers-related disasters. The SPPD is keeping this picketing under control, through the crowd continues to grow throughout the day.

[GLaDOS is here and she's not like last time, struggling and pathetic on the pavement. Oh no, now she's in her element. In a white tiled room that gives the idea of a laboratory she hangs suspended from the ceiling, her single yellow eye focused on the camera.]

Good, you're recording.

You know, these past days have confirmed to me something I already knew.

Humans need to be looked after. They need order, they need structure otherwise you all devolve into the apes you so recently were.

My new friends at SERO and the personal power generator they gave me agree.

So I made a little something for you all, just to make you all feel safer. Call it a holiday gift if you will.

That you purchase.

With money.

Thank you's are not mandatory.

( Cut for video, now appearing on television channels in the island )

[[ooc: "SERO: Aperture Science Division" appears in the ad rather than just regular Aperture Science XD

Also if your character works for SERO they can expect to receive one of these in the post soon.

*Purchase of a turret may or may not bite you in the ass later.]]

I'm doing some research. [ SURPRISE. ] ... So, uh, if you don't mind, I was wondering. How many people here've gone home for a while and come back? And how many came back, but didn't remember being here before?

I think it'd be interesting to figure out the numbers, if someone hasn't done it already. If it's already been looked into, let me know.
