[He clicks onto video in the usual fashion. All pomp and circumstance. Usual uniform and posture, chest out, shoulders back, arms crossed infront of him. His customary uh, frown? Actually not as customary as usual, it looks more- severe. Pulled at his face, more wrinkled, maybe even a vein slightly beating in his forehead. He's over all more tense that usual and as he opens his mouth and pulls in a deep breath you might expect the usual as well but-]

Greetings ImPorts. Those of you who are new, those of you I have yet to speak to- I am Gamagori Ira, Cape Canaveral Bootcamp Instructor and Nonah ImPort Ambassador. Hello.

First allow me to thank all those who took part in and enjoyed the Swear-In Ceremony and Event in Nonah, as well as the other two in both De Chima and Maurtia Falls. Much planning and work had went into all three events and while I know the other Ambassador's will see to thanking you themselves, I speak for all of us- thank you for your participation. Those of you who Registered, those interested in it but have yet to decide, if you have any question I am available, yet with that- allow me to go to my next announcement.

There will be an Automated ImPort Response System created not long from now, programmed by ImPort Inumuta Houka. While there are many FAQs and directories created for ImPorts should they have questions, this System will allow for a quick and more personal approach to having your questions answered should the usual individuals to ask be busy. This System will answer any ImPort related questions and will be available to all Imports. As soon as it has been finished I will make sure to update you all via the ImPort Network. If you have any questions concerning this System, please direct them to Mr. Inumuta or myself.

[And then

A pause.]

[Gamagori seems to bristle, clenching his teeth and tucking his chin down next to his gradually expanding chest muscles, flexed and yes- PISSED. His Porter granted ability to draw attention to him with his voice always in affect but now he'll simply gain attention from pure rage and volume alone. His eyes close for a moment.

Then pop open.

Glaring lasers into the camera as he raises his chin high.]

And now- I will get to my FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT. [Snarls, his nostrils flaring, his upper lip curled.]

It has COME TO MY ATTENTION, that SOMEONE has found it appropriate to QUAKE THE EARTH AND SCAR IT'S CRUST NEAR THE CITY OF NONAH. Earlier today as many of you might have felt, the ground shook under us. This was no mere natural tremor but A BLATANT DISPLAY OF UNNECESSARY FRIVOLITY! Upon inspecting the area I found there to be a COLOSSAL DISAPPOINT in the form of a pit. This sort of gratuitous melodrama will NOT BE TOLERATED!!

While I understand the need to hone one's skills and practice should the future thrust upon you the unexpected, you WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO DO SO WITH SUCH LACKING RESPONSIBILITY!

[A deep breath again. His puffs out a heavy breath, might as well be steam coming from him by now. Gamagori bristles again, whipping his arms down and clenching his fists at his sides.]

While I am willing to accept an apology and offer of retribution should the culprit come forth, the punishment shall be far more severe should YOU HIDE FROM ME!

So I suggest you make yourself known, now.

Thank you.

[This question - this need for help - is good. It makes Gamagori receptive, in his eyes.]

Making a flashy display suggests a need to fulfil an unrecognised need for attention. It's possible they've made posts to the network, for the same reason. Whether or not they have I can't be sure - you're operating without a name, after all. I would suggest you find some mention of a similiar power, or find somebody who can help in the literal sense.

I suppose there's an imPort here with some sort of trace? A tracking skill, if you will.

I've spoken to an individual who has skills that may help but as for a tracing ability- I'm unsure of anyone with one myself. Considering many ImPorts keep their abilities a secret the only way to go about searching would be to ask the network or hope that they may come here and offer of their own accord.

Unless you have someone in mind?

Until then I will take your advice and look through the network posts regarding it. There could be clue to who it might have been.

Unfortunately, no-one comes to mind so far.

[He doesn't make a habit of reading conversations, really. Except he does.]

I suggest you stay the course you've described.

Of course. This person requires psychiatric help. So should you find the person concerned, I suggest you contact Doctor Chilton or myself.

Doctor Chilton? Where is he located?

Heropa.

[A pause, as his thoughts shift a little.]

We cover most of the imPort population between us. Geographically, in this case.

Good to here, that service is extremely useful, especially considering the range of individuals brought to this world. I will not assume immediately that that is the case here, but it is definitely something to keep in mind.

What about it leads you to assume it may be something personal?

[He still looks frazzled. Cleaning this mess was Gamagori's work, but he wanted to show that men like him and Chilton had to heal the mental damage.]

The preening, portenteous display of power asserts his place in the world. He cannot reconcile his own helpless life with the powerful man he wants to be, on the inside. He wants to stand up and be counted... Well. Blow things up and be counted.

[It sure is his work, and while he plans to look into it, he plans to do it on multiple levels. If Crane feels who ever did this has something wrong with them mentally, well, Gamagori would want to get them help. He's open minded, while managing to be stubborn at the same time.]

Are you suggesting he wishes unleash himself in some manner?

Of course.

He's unable to act with complete freedom, in reality. I suppose being trapped here has heightened this fact till he's unable to flee that truth, and raised his flight or fight response.

It could be this is all a work of fiction to him, and that... makes him dangerous.

[In a way, he does feel a little bad for this mystery person. The same could be said about a lot of people here, even Gamagori himself. Lacking the full range of what they can do, being stripped of a world where things made sense, where you already knew how to work with everything, your abilities, your community, your life. So he grows a tad thoughtful listening to Crane speak before feeling the need to question him again.]

A work of fiction? He could think this isn't real? Are you sure that's a possibility?

One of many.

Of course. Dr. Chilton or myself would need to engage the... patient... in a session to be sure.

[Patient. Not subject or experiment. Good job, Crane.]

[That was a strange pause?]

Something the matter, sir?

No. I was assessing the correct way I, as a professional, should address this individual. Everyone deserves consideration for their status as a living being.

That's all.

Oh.

Excuse me, I apologize. I hadn't meant disrespect by asking.

I suppose not.

Will that be all? Either way, I wish you every success in apprehending this criminal.

Edited 2015-03-28 02:21 (UTC)

Yes, I suppose so, thank you again, sir. Should I need a man of your expertise, I will contact you.
