[Irene appears on the terminal screen, looking a little bit tired. Her trademark smile is in place soon enough, though.]

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.

[whoa Whoa WHOA]

You can bring people back to their homes.

You're going to have to excuse my bluntness with the situation, but why are we even here in the first place? I'm aware of the power problem--though I neglect to see how physical touch is alleviating that--but I don't think you're going to make any headway by outright kidnapping people. Our homes are in trouble, too.

Why the frag are we supposed to believe you?

So if someone's energy drops that rapidly, you'll send them home for their safety, hm?

[geniusforgotten]

Well, well, well. Look who's been keeping secrets.

[Stare of JUDGMENT.]

So we're expected to simply believe you.

It could be any number of factors that determine who you let go. Unsatisfactory energy output, suspicion, leverage...

So. You can send people back?

[He's not judging you. Except he is, sorry.]

[Akihiko isn’t completely happy about being trapped in a foreign world, but he’s somewhat more accepting of the circumstances.]

So… what’s the catch to all of this? It can’t really be this easy to restore energy to the city. And why do we get to keep our powers?
