[When the feed begins, there is a very unkempt Rhea surrounded by papers and some of the scrolls that were collected the month or so previously. It's obvious that she has overly strained herself as she rubs her left eye with a blackened hand from the ink she used.]

Hello, favored visitors. I apologize for my less... seemly appearance, but due to the events last month that likely left many of you thrown for a loop, it fell to me to find a means of reversing the effects and to translate many of the texts recovered to a language all can understand.

Last month began a cycle of the year in which the Goddess of the Wind and Aether's influence is strongest. According to our ancient texts- [She picks up one of the scrolls of paper she wrote on.] "The Lady of Aether ist much a trickster in nature, and blesses our mortal beings the power of transformation."

[After setting it down, she continues.]

To those who were amongst the Transformed last month, she chose you much like she had chosen me as a child. This form given you is capable of being shifted between with a proper conduit, such as the mask a few of you have seen in my office.

[She bows her head... and promptly dozes off by accident.

Oops.]

[And Naoto tries tapping on her monitor]

Rhea-san... Rhea-san, do you need to get some proper rest?

[She had a suspicion Kanji's and Yu's transformation was similar to Rhea's, but this definitely confirmed it.]

You mentioned before when Yu-senpai and I went to talk to you that the transformation could have issues if not eased with the mask-- is going... 'feral' part of those difficulties?

[But of course, she couldn't help asking...]

[Oh... She understands that feeling...

The 'dozing off on work' part. Like, yeah, she's interested in how the whole 'transformation' part of this works, but -- more importantly --]

Uh... Miss, if you sleep there you'll... [...Not loud enough is she--? Crystal's very apologetic about having to raise her voice.] Miss, you'll smear the translations if you sleep on them, and then no one else'll be able to use them.

...So if those masks ain't touched somehow, we stay human, right? We won't change again?

There ain't other 'conduits', is there?

[NO REASON JUST ASKING. Also, sheesh, you really need some shut-eye.]

[as someone who was changed, he is very interested in this message... he waits patiently for her to wake up again. for about five seconds]

...Ahem. Excuse me, miss. Miss? [he's talking louder than normal in an effort to wake her up]

[Everyone else seemed to be using the network to talk to the tired priestess. Yu on the other hand decided to take a different approach. Armed with a thermos of tea and Banchou on his shoulder, he knocked on the door to the office.]

Rhea-san?

[If she doesn't answer, he's gonna send Banchou to open the door.]

That was no blessing, human.

I want to see those scrolls. I want all of the information you have on this 'Goddess'.

[... Eyebrow raise.

You shouldn't fall asleep in the middle of a debriefing ok. So she'll talk in the loudest voice she can, without outright yelling.]

SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR US?

[She guesses that gives her a whole new way to be a getaway driver...but she never thought she'd be the shaman type. She wonders if her datajack gets in the way of this world's astral plane too.]

Rhea! Wake up and tell us the rest, would you? What about these "conduits"!?
