[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.]

[ sighing... he's not sure what he expected. ]
Keep your insincere apologies. I am glad you shared your knowledge, regardless of the way you did it.
no subject
[Rustling.]
But you are welcome for the information, mister erm...
Viktor.
Goodness gracious, that is a popular name these days.
Tell me Viktor, do you know aught about the places in the pictures?
no subject
[ his tone is drier than a wholeass desert. ]
No, I don't. None are ones I have seen before. [ so he is curious to see what those who might have ideas as to what they mean think. ]
no subject
[He's still chirping.]
Worry not, the bold heroes among us will surely prevent any tragic implosion of the star.
no subject
[ anyway... ]
I'm sure. I have all the faith in their capabilities.
no subject
[He might sound weirdly defensive about that, but moving on...]
As for the mighty heroes of the Chosen! I have faith in them, aye! Certainly!
...Although they may find saving the world somewhat challenging if they fail to identify a villain or monster to pummel to death.

I have been told they managed the "reset" well enough. Perhaps this is more of the same.
