[The feed cuts to a very handsome box in a mud-bath. There are cucumber slices placed on his front panel where eyes are supposed to be and a glass of... milk in one of his hands. He's swirling it languidly as he speaks in a strong, mechanical tone, as if it were a glass of wine.]

WELL, THIS IS AN INTERESTING DIVERGENCE, ISN'T IT? CAN'T SAY MANY OF US HAD OUR BETS ON "CAT PLANET" AS THE FINAL ACT FOR OUR LITTLE WOODHURST SAGA, EH?

[Ahem.]

NOW, BEFORE WE ALL GET OUR PAWS FULL WORRYING ABOUT WHAT'S BECOME OF OSKA OR TREATING OURSELVES, I'D LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT TO REMIND THE TEAM TO GIVE ONE ANOTHER A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR ALL OF OUR HARD WORK! WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT WOODHURST WAS AN EXERCISE IN ENDURANCE, DETERMINATION, AND "HOW NOT TO IMPRESS YOUR SUPERIORS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE INDISCRIMINATELY MURDERED," BUT THIS TALE COULD HAVE HAD A FAR DARKER ENDING WITHOUT SOME QUICK THINKING AND GROUP EFFORTS!!

AS SUCH, I'M HONORED TO GET THIS LOVE-FEST A-STARTED. TO OUR SCIENCE TEAM!! ESPECIALLY DR. URAHARA, MS. SIEGLIND, MS. NEVERMIND, AND ANYONE WHO DONATED TIME, EFFORT, AND BLOOD TO THE CURE AND VACCINES: YOU HAVE OUR UTMOST RESPECT AND THANKS! YOU KEPT PUSHING THROUGH REGARDLESS OF YOUR OWN PERSONAL SAFETY AND BOTH AUDENTES AND THE UNIVERSE ARE STILL SAFE BECAUSE OF YOU.

I'D ALSO LIKE TO THANK MR. LANCE AND MR. KEITH FOR INITIATING THE QUARANTINE!! IF MOVIES HAVE TAUGHT US ANYTHING, IT'S A HARD PILL TO SWALLOW ADMITTING YOU'RE INFECTED TO THE REST OF THE GROUP. EVEN HARDER IS KEEPING YOUR HEAD UP AND PLANNING AROUND WHAT COULD OTHERWISE BE THE TRAGIC NEWS THAT SENDS YOU INTO DESPAIR. YOU TWO TOOK WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A REASON TO GIVE UP AND USED IT TO START A CALL TO ACTION. OUR NUMBERS AND THAT OF WOODHURST'S COULD BE A LOT LOWER RIGHT NOW WITHOUT YOUR HELP.

NOW, THIS OBVIOUSLY ISN'T THE BE-ALL-END-ALL LIST OF PEOPLE WHO SAVED THE DAY. I'M SURE EACH ONE OF YOU HAS SOMEONE TO GIVE THANKS TO FOR SOMETHING OR ANOTHER. SO WHILE WE REST AND RECUPERATE, WHY NOT LET THEM KNOW JUST HOW MUCH THEIR ACTIONS MEANT TO YOU? LET'S HAVE SOME POSITIVITY FOR A CHANGE!

[He waves his non-wine-holding hand, triggering a set of explosions and gray fireworks.

This only startles a few cats. Don't worry about it.]

[ Well at least this time he isn't making jokes about her name... though it's a little strange to hear it like this. She still has the card Lance posted from people in the team as well it's just... different.

There's just one more thing: ]

You forgot to mention Peter's name in that list as well. He worked at a different location, but kept in contact with us-- [ Not all the time, but she isn't going to name and shame him on that ] --as we worked together. He also loaned me equipment when I was stuck in my apartment, so I would like to ensure his name is there as well.

And... [ She pauses to smile now, because it's a little odd isn't it...?? ] I am glad to see you are enjoying yourself.

Fiona is awesome because she did the indiscriminate murder and it was super cool or so I hear.

[VIDEO SO YOU CAN SEE THIS ASSHOLE COVERING HIS FACE WITH HIS FAN AND PRETENDING TO BLUSH.

Ah... how embarrassing. You really shouldn't have gone to all the trouble of making an announcement just for our sake...

video, @Doc Knock, pretend this is not embarrassingly late...

Yes, it was all very well done. [ but more to the point and most importantly: ] You're not planning to drink that, are you?
