[ He's sticking to audio because he mostly looks like shit right now. That's what he gets for being used to his cushy life of sleeping like a normal person and then going right back to war etiquette. Soon he's going to find a beer and a cigarette and maybe a sandwich and then pass the fuck out.

Probably like in the next five minutes if he can get his limbs to co-ordinate themselves. ]

All right, roll call. Who do I have to be worried about?

[ He doesn't specify he means people he actually likes. He's too tired to even be sarcastic. ]

This isn't over.

The deities didn't create rules--they enforced them. Whoever or whatever is above them is, presumably, still there. The only thing that this revolution has changed is who oversees us. We're not free. Our problems aren't gone.

We can't be sure that we'll be better off. What do we know about the people who have replaced the deities? Do we know where they came from? What they truly want? Now that they control whatever power the deities had, what are they going to do with it? They've made promises, but what have they done for us? Were they any more forgiving or any less ruthless than the deities during the fighting?

Nothing gets better in the City. Maybe this time will be an exception, but I see no reason to hope for much. We'll still lose people we come to care about. We'll still be at the mercy of our captors, even if they aren't the ones we're used to.

Be careful. Don't hesitate to contact the police if there's trouble.

It's been said a few times on the network over the course of all this that the hospital is here, and it is staffed, for anyone who needs it. With the way the situation has fluctuated, I figured it couldn't hurt to reiterate the point. We're here, for anyone who needs it - and for anyone who may be wanting anyone here to check in letting them know that.

On which note, I'm going to go ahead and turn that around - anyone who might expect me to ask after them, please let me know that you're safe in all of this. At the moment, I'm inclined to reserve any judgement or commentary on the state of the City's political affairs until after I've ensured that we've gotten through this relatively unscathed. I can hunt you down if I have to, but we're still rather busy and this seems far more efficient. If you're not sure whether I would be asking after you or not, you might as well drop a quick line anyway. Regardless of who you are or how much we've spoken, there's a pretty good chance that I'd like to hear that you're okay.
