[The feed blinks on to show Fandaniel leaning against a metallic wall, eyes gleaming, face set in a wide grin.]
Good morrow to you, my fellow Chosen!
[He chirps and twirls, landing on his tiptoes with one hand against his heart, the other raised in greeting.]
So much is happening of late, and I have much to say, but I promise to keep it brief. [A mischievous grin suggests this may not, in fact, be brief.]
Let us start with last month. That was quite a fun little vacation from sanity, wasn't it? I apologize for my rampage. Such devastation was not my intention.
[A pause, he thoughtfully tilts his head.]
My intention was to rain my Hell upon the Courthouse, but that structure is well protected these days. Such a pity. 'Twas my understanding we had a running gag of demolishing that place. Ah, well...
...[A longer pause as he stares into the middle distance, then remembers himself. He waves his hands.]
Ahem!
On to more important matters!
As some of you may remember, I backed up our AI to my dear assistant Hyperetes. Isn't that so, Hyperetes?
[The camera bobs as something beeps.]
A few days ago the AI finally deigned to communicate. It sent me three images, which I have attached to this feed, along with a single word...
"Help".
If anyone could assist me in finding the locations in the photos, well... Do let me know. I intend to set off on my search very soon.
That is all!
'Ta!
[He starts walking away, pauses suddenly, then whirls back to the camera with a gasp.]
Oh!
One more small detail... After the AI left its message, a countdown appeared on my device. It looks to be ticking down to the eleventh or so of next month. 'Tis fine, I'm sure. Naught to worry about!
[The feed cuts off. Anyone opening the attached files will see three photos:
-The view from a beach, facing an ocean. There’s a city on the other side of the ocean – it looks like what could be a fishing village.
-Bones on the same beach, along with some vague articles of clothing.
-The sight of a tentacle, with a golden blur that looks monstrous in the background.]

If you'd like to increase the odds of someone making it there, I'd be interested in coming along.
no subject
Nevertheless, if you are certain then of course you are welcome to come.
no subject
[This is too important to leave to others. He wants to see things for himself... whatever it is.]
Are there any other preparations you're looking into? [He does excel at those. Might as well offer.]
no subject
[Rations, he means, but he will phrase this as obnoxiously as possible.]
Maps, camping gear, hmmm...
What do people bring on long hikes?
no subject
[That's almost a genuine laugh. But yes, alright, he'll bring you your food as well, Fandaniel. Listing things out partly to refresh his own memory:]
Lighting, first aid, pocket knife, firestarter... [He hums in thought.]
What did you all have to do when you went to reset those terminals?
