[The new video feed activates on everyone's new Tell Phones, and everyone is treated to the quiet smile and faintly sad eyes of Halcyn, who appears to be broadcasting from within the Historium, if the rows and rows of books fading into the background are any indication.]

Good morning, everyone. I am deeply sorry for the troubles you faced in the wake of our ineptitude. I can assure you the spirits are at rest. I only hope they did not trouble you overmuch. I cannot guarantee we will not false step in the future, but I will give my word we will do our best to keep such occurrences to a minimum.

[Her expression darkens for a moment, hinting at a deeper sadness, before she smiles more broadly.]

I hope you enjoy the improvements to the Tell Phone service I've devised from your homeworlds! Some of you originate from very clever places. I know my imitations pale in comparison, but they do serve as impressive inspiration.

[He turns the camera, then, to show the former dais at the center of the Historium. Where the shatter globe once stood is now a statue in marble, so lifelike as to seem able to speak. She approaches the statue, and a plaque can be seen, under a spherical handle which reads "touch for advise".]

I would like to introduce you to Percy, whom I shall give the floor. He is to be the new Curator of the Historium, so you should get acquainted.

[She reaches forward, touching the sphere, and in an instant, with no magical effects at all, the living form of the statue stands before the camera. She hands him the device, and the man smiles, eyebrows raised, clearly impressed.]

Greetings, all. It seems some of you have access to impressive technologies in your homeworlds.

[His voice is prim, proper, articulate, but also accommodating.]

I am aware my nature is rather contrasted by that of my predecessor, so I shall endeavor to answer what I can. You've done quite well in restore a fragment of Aterat's glory and for that I am grateful. Cooperation is the least I can do.

[He inclines his head to the camera.]
