[It's been quite some time since the Head Nurse has ~~terrorized~~ graced Vatheon with her presence. She's been hard at work figuring out just what they did to fix the coral, and she's found out some very interesting things.]

Good morning, Vatheonites! It has been quite some time, hasn't it? And you have been terribly busy. We have a couple things to address.

Firstly, it was quite an ingenious solution you thought up for the coral, I am impressed. Who was it that thought it up, hmm? If you come forward, we might let you have an up close look at our facilities. I know you've been itching to get a look at them for awhile now.

Secondly, it seems that the Head Priestess lost her life in the commotion of fixing the coral. It's really quite a shame, but we didn't get to her in time to bring her back, so I'm afraid she's gone permanently.

[She doesn't seem to think it's a shame at all. In fact, she's smiling wider than ever.]

I do hope we can prevent such a tragedy again. You've all been behaving yourselves so nicely and not creating extra work for us. It would be very... unfortunate if that were to change.

[In the short time he's been here, Albert's already combed through the database and done a bit of extra digging to bring himself up to speed. Whatever he's read, he doesn't like the look of this nurse at all. Unfortunately, she's the only person who seems to have gone out of their way to contact the foreigners, to taunt them, and that pegs her as overconfident to his mind. She clearly expects little of her little test subjects down in the bubble and it may make her careless.

Of course, those are simply assumptions based on a terribly incomplete observation. He needs to strike up a conversation - preferably an amiable one - to learn more.

He's wearing a smile when he responds to her initial video.]

Is there anything we could do in particular, miss? I haven't been here all that long and while I've looked through the welcoming materials, there's little to be said on cooperation.

[His tone is purposely submissive, clearly not wanting to invite any trouble.]

If you could find out who all was involved in repairing the coral, I would be most obliged.

[He may be new, but people are more likely to talk to another foreigner. She'll take advantage if she can.]

[He's fairly certain, both based on the information he'd sifted through and from her tone, that whoever was behind it wouldn't be receiving a reward. Considering how employees of their scientific masterminds are treated for infraction (he totally read lethal injection in that there handbook), he's not to keen on getting anyone killed, thanks.

Of course he won't flat out say that.]

I'll see what I can do, though I don't know many people here yet. Oh, and I am sorry for your loss. I have no idea what went into fixing the coral, but it must have been arduous for someone to have lost their life in the process.

[An enemy of this nurse is starting to sound like a fried of the foreigners though, and the loss of a religious figure leaves too much room for theological installation of the current regime, namely the existing scientists overlooking their experimental community. He expects that wouldn't go all that well considering the sprawling diversity of the foreigners, so perhaps there's something else at work with the late priestess he has no idea about.]

I'll be looking forward to favorable results.

I'll do what I can.

[He smiles again jovially and takes his leave of the call with absolutely no intention of following through with her witch hunt.]
