[The video clicks on to reveal a rather elegant-looking young man - his suit's a little wrinkled and his hair's a little messy, but he looks almost posed as he looks intently at the camera.]

Well, that's one thing worked out, eh?

Hello, everyone. I'm a newcomer, I'm afraid, and while I believe I've worked out some of the basics, I could use help adjusting. Any information you could give me would be wonderful. [He gives a small, friendly grin.] Primarily concerning a way out. I'm rather important back home, you see. The call of duty and all that.

For now, if there's no quick way out, I'd also be happy to make myself useful. I'm a roboticist back home, and there seems to be at least one robot here, so if anyone needs anything... [Another nice, friendly grin.]

[Pause] Also, I think someone replaced the bit of food I had with... candy, so I'm admittedly a little worried about that situation. It's not an immediate concern, but.

Thank you for your time, truly.

Right now the most effective way to keep the darkness out of the pipes is to have a cistern under the building you live in-- Most people can't afford that, though.

[turnsthewheels]

Ah! I could certainly help with that. Back home I'm in charge of city management, and I've learned the cheapest, best ways to build things like that. I'll need time to figure out details, but...

[reassures]

Really? I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate it if you could!

[turnsthewheels]

Any idea who I'd get in touch with about city improvement and the like?

[reassures]

No.. I have no idea, actually. I've never known anyone would did that sort of work here.

I'm sure someone would be able to tell you who to talk to, though.

[turnsthewheels]

I'll be sure to ask around, then. I'd love to do my part.

Thank you so much for all your help.

[reassures]

Please let me know if there's anything else I can help with! I'm not an expert on things here, but I do know a fair amount.

[turnsthewheels]

I'll be sure to go to you first, Nill. [Such a nice smile~]

[reassures]

Thank you.

[She has no doubts about you yet, doc. But that might be because she's not really all that sober right now. Oops?

You've got her totally fooled for the moment, anyway!]

[turnsthewheels]

[Fooled? Fooled about what? The doctor is a fine upstanding man.]

Until next time, then.

[He shuts down the video.]
