[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.

[He's looked for Flora for a while now, but he hasn't seen any sign of her. No way to contact her, she's not in her room, in fact it's like she was never here at all.

He hopes that she was sent back. He was never her Luke to begin with - the real one was back home with the Professor. He would always be the copy of Luke that Mayfield made. But it hurt at lot more then he was expecting. He wanted to pretend a little while longer...

And then there was that part of him that didn't trust this place to actually send her home.]

Do we know for sure if you get sent back home once you "leave" this place? My friend went missing, and while I'd like to believe they sent her off back home, I can't really be sure if that's what they really did or if they're keeping her somewhere.

I mean, I hope that's what they did. She'd be happier there. But I just want to be sure...

[He's quiet for a little while before speaking again. He decides to ask a question that's been on his mind for a while.]

I also had another question - a hypothetical one, if you will. Say that you met someone who was like you in every way, from appearance to personality, except that they aren't actually the real you, but just a copy. How would you treat them, knowing that they aren't actually you?
