[SCOTT]
oh, good! this old thing works. Well, uh, hello! My name's Scott S. Major, and I'm the new head archivist of the Life Institute, Edinburgh. This place is... a mess.
My predecessor, Grian Fairchild, clearly had no idea what he was doing. I know he worked with at least one assistant, who I've requested to work with me. Along with him, I've requested Sparrow Owens. Of course, the Head of the institute has assigned someone to help me down here, I think his name is Littlewood... He hasn't shown up yet, so this won't be an issue for now. As for why I'm speaking into a dingy old tape recorder, the microphone on the laptop I brought down here for digitising purposes seems to be busted. Like, full on, won't record anything I say.
Well, Uh, That's it for now, I guess.
