Hello, everyone.

It's come to my attention that a number of you are concerned because of the disappearances that have been going on lately. I'm here today to reassure you - everyone who disappeared is safe. They're been sent back to their worlds for the time being.

The reason is that a number of people started showing signs of extremely fast energy drain - quick enough that they would have died within a couple of hours if left unattended. We returned them all for their own safety.

Right now, we're working on trying to figure out why only some people have been affected by this rapid drain. We hope to have more information for you soon.

Also, thank you all for your help in re-opening the Third District. For those of you that may have been wondering, opening the district was the cause of the power outages early in the month; for that reason, we're going to hold off on opening any other districts for the time being, until we're sure that the power levels are sufficient.

That's all for right now. Keep in good health, everyone.

There was no way that we could have been alerted to the problem so that you could have possibly received volunteers?

And how can you guarantee that things haven't changed at all from my last memory of home? How is that even possible?

[She thinks it was in the intro pamphlets, but it was probably one of those things she deemed "crazy" and didn't pay attention to. Which was most of the pamphlets.]

You're returned to within a second of the point in time you left from.

[So hey unless something important is going to change in less than a second - ]

[That didn't answer anything, but okay.]

What are the exact requirements for one of you to send us home? Just near death?

Does that mean you won't allow anyone to die here?

[Do you see how this can backfire yet?]
