Video #1 UN: Waltz

[Unlike some people whose biggest concerns are their inappropriate footwear, Cam is all business.

Speaking to you live from a crumbling room within the colony is a tall, bearded man wearing a suit. Or half of one. He has his sleeves rolled up, Prada jacket slung over an overturned desk. His face isn't unfriendly, but there are well-worn lines speaking to a serious nature.

This man does not wear flip-flops.]


Hello, my name is Cameron Waltz. Like you I am a recent arrival, and have more questions than answers regarding this place, and why we're here. Back home I was a humanitarian interpreter and cultural mediator specializing in foreign aid and disaster relief. Experience I hope will be useful, considering the conditions, as it appears we've found ourselves in something of a disaster.

In my brief exploration of the colony, it appears many of the necessary facilities are damaged and in disarray. Those few blocks that aren't already compromised will be well on their way if the problems regarding utilities and structural decay aren't addressed.

Especially since we appear to be activating potentially hazardous technology left and right. All it takes is one spark to set an electrical fire, or worse.

If we're going to survive here, it's important we work together to increase our chances. There are far too many repairs to complete alone. We need to survive before we can return home.

I don't know how many of you are out there, but if you can read this I would appreciate a response. A rough headcount would be helpful in terms of rationing supplies. People with engineering skills and knowledge relevant to repairing or securing the colony, please name yourself and what you can do.

A directory of skills could be incredibly helpful in terms of creating working teams to get things done.

To everyone who may be out there, you are not alone. If you are hurt, or simply don't know what to do, I and many others will be here to help.

[A man can hope.]

[ Momos. Nate grins at the thought, because those dumplings remind him of Tenzin, of strong, bitter tea and unbelievable mountain vistas. How old is Pema now, he wonders? Probably in her teens, which is insane to think about. It's been too long since they visited old friends, especially now that Nate can actually speak passable Lhasa Tibetan. ]

A little of both?

[ Now when he goes abroad it tends to be for pleasure, rather than a combination of both it and business, though Jameson tries to get them away from Louisiana as often as is possible.

For a long moment Nate considers whether he should be forthcoming about his previous work, ultimately deciding that people didn't care too much in Hadriel. Ergo:

I work for a salvage company out of New Orleans, but I used to be a treasure hunter. Kind of goes hand-in-hand with international travel.

[ Nate has his moments of complete and unadulterated idiocy, but this is not one of those times. Cameron Waltz's implication was about as subtle as the shoulder holster Nate is wearing right now. ]

Ancient civilizations. Was never really in it for the "big score"- [ finger quotes ] -as it were.

[ A fact which could frustrate working partners to no end, to know that Nate's priority was not treasure so much as learning. ]

Honestly? I think the only time I walked away with anything not earned by gainful employment was, uh- 2007? El Dorado.
