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.]

If we can find enough specimens, we should be able to. We both know a little about fish population management, and if there's fish in the lake already, that will help.

[ He'd learned fairly quickly in the occasional classes he'd been forced to take in District Thirteen how very inadequate a District Four education was, but at least he knew that much: fishing and fish science and fishery management.

That's longer term than he's comfortable thinking about right now, but it's a practical skill. ]


I'll go with lucky. Least we're together, this way.

[ That's what matters; he tries to make it sound offhand, but there's genuine belief flashing through underneath the casual words.

Together is always better for Finnick and Annie. ]

[ The happiness of being together, being openly together, has been a long time coming for them, and when the guy on the other end of the video feed smiles, so does Finnick, making his face brighten, his eyes shine. ]

Finnick Odair and Annie Cresta.

[ He doesn't even pause to consider the question of surnames; everyone in Panem knows both of them by sight, and if anyone else is here from there, then ... then things could get difficult depending on their allegiances, but hiding their surnames won't stop that. ]

[ He has to laugh, a brief wry smile and a single chuckle because he's not used to being thanked for his outlook except in a much darker and more threatening manner.

His outlook hadn't been so great over the last few months, but it's gotten immeasurably better since he was reunited with Annie. Since he married Annie. ]


Being where Annie is is what matters to me.

[ And if that has the not-quite-believing smile of a newlywed, Finnick's not even trying to hide it. ]

We also both have some experience surviving in ... difficult situations. This place could be worse. We have shelter and there's some food available.
