[The video opens with a idyllic shot of horses grazing in a pasture with a barn in the background. Well idyllic if you discount the fact that they're clearly on the agriculture level of Beacon, one of the horses is glowing and the other is Branwen and that some of the other animals in the paddock are mutated deer. It's about as close to scenic as this place gets.]

Kieran and I have been working on getting a ranch going up here. Cho's been doing tests on the deer and they're good to eat so I'm gonna try and get a little herd going. But then over here...

[The camera pans to some cleared areas nearby with the smoothness of someone who has used their phone to film hundreds of Vine videos back home.]

I thought we could start some sort of farm? I've grown tomatoes before but I don't know anything about farming, I'm more the livestock sort. So if anyone wants to work on this, you're more than welcome.

Actually if anyone wants to help with any of this feel free. But don't try to pet the deer. They're not friendly.

I mean that was a little morbid, but I get what you're saying. This is definitely progress. Not having gods or imminent war or killer robots constantly looming over our shoulders is really nice.

If the robots here attack us I think we can take them. I watched the one in the kitchen trip over a spoon a few days ago.

There's gotta be a catch though. I can't imagine this was all arbitrary and now we just live here happily ever after rebuilding a new Eden.

oh my god. I kind of love how incompetent these robots are.

I don't know if there's a catch like deliberately? I do want to find out what happened to the last group of people that were here, though.

I found some skeletal remains up on the agriculture level but not nearly enough to be everyone who was here. To build this there must have been hundreds right?

It'd be weird if there wasn't a catch. And that's not just me being my normal pessimistic self - it's be actually really strange.

Hundreds at least, yeah. I need to stop getting sidetracked with projects and see if I can find anything useful in the computer systems. Surveillance footage or crew logs, something.

I'm totally with you there. Like yeah, things have gotten rough at times, but for the most part it's been pretty smooth sailing. There has to be more to it than this.

There's gotta be SOMETHING. Hundreds of people didn't live here without leaving something behind. Journals or photos or anything. We can't have only the welcome video and nothing else.

Unless everything was destroyed on purpose.

There are still things about these computer systems that I'm trying to learn, and the files and documents that I have come across are too corrupted to get anything useful out of.

That's always a possibility too, but I'm really hoping that's not the case.

Is anyone helping you? Seems like you're trying to start up all the generators, hack all the computers, fix every single system and repair all the robots.

Oh yeah I get all kinds of help don't even worry about it

[that totally wasn't a fakey fake bullshit lie at all]

Wow.

I absolutely believe that no questions asked.

I'm sensing the faintest hint of sarcasm.

That doesn't sound like me. I would never.

Sounds fake but okay.

I'm fine, though. Seriously. I'm busy, but I'm not doing everything alone.

Alright I'm trusting you on that.

Lemme know if there's anything i can help with. That doesn't involve me needing a ph.D in mechanics

Don't worry man, I'm not gonna let myself get overwhelmed.

Thanks, I'll be sure to hit you up if anything comes up that you can help with.
