[It's Kurt's second post within a relatively short while. It's video this time--and he looks put-together, crisp and diplomatic. He clears his throat delicately before speaking.]
First of all, it seems we've received some new arrivals. I'm Kurt Hummel-- And as assistant director of the Newcomer Community Center, I'd like to welcome you all, and encourage you to come by the Center if you need any assistance or wish to lend a hand toward our cause. If you have any questions about the Port or our objectives as a community, please don't hesitate to ask.
[A pause, and he looks uneasy.]
Second of all, I-- I didn't really publicly acknowledge it before, but... I was among those hunted last weekend, and--and I don't find it prudent to deny that anymore.
I am currently working with the NPP to mobilize our forces to do whatever we can to pursue justice--but in the meantime, I think it's more important than ever that we work as a community. To pursue individual acts of revenge is futile and dangerous to our survival here in the Port. I ask that everyone involved remain open to the idea of releasing an official statement to the mainstream media about what happened-- And for all Newcomers, even those who have just arrived, to commit as much time and energy as you can afford to contributing your support. Any donation--whether it's money, time, or lending a few moments to talk to someone--it all counts.
[He hesitates.] I know this may be shocking to some of you, but I think it's better if you all see this before I show anyone else. [Slowly he sets the NV down and pushes up one sleeve. Though he doesn't appear to be in pain (thanks to Michael), his arm still looks absolutely terrible--a skinned, mangled, hideous mess.] This is what those hunters did to us, among worse things. I'm showing you all because you're all part of this community we have built here as Newcomers, and you should all be as disgusted and incensed as I am--along with Ms. Mary, and Gohan, and Mercy, and all the Newcomers who have ever faced violence and prejudice here in the Port.
[Hastily he pushes the sleeve back down.] Let's fix this together. This can't happen again. It won't. Not if we work together.
Thank you.
