The Archivist | Location: The Nexus Databank, Observatory Room | State of Mind: Blank, Pondering


Only after three weeks did the Archivist snap out of his trance - with the aid of his comm system's irksome beeping and buzzing, of course. One could say he was daydreaming, in fact. His train of thoughts came to an abrupt halt thanks to the aforementioned comm system ere breaking free from his stoic pose and turning around to brisk forth to his communication panel.

With a mind still on cloud nine, the Archivist tried to fight the inertia that was stopping him from reaching the panel. And after a dramatic twenty seconds or so, he had finally reached it. Praise the Lord. Withal, another gust of confusion struck him once more as the Archivist stood dumbfounded before the comm panels. Again.

With said inertia still going against him, the Archivist struggled mentally as he tried to clear his mind of the fog polluting it and attempted to focus. Aftter yet another overly-dramatic two minutes or so, he had mustered up his.. mental strength..? I dunno against the great devil that is procrastination and pressed the goddamned broadcast button before reconfiguring his voice module to the deep, old voice the Archivist is known for.

"As per Earth-time, good evening, ladies and gentlemen - and mechanical apparitions alike. Who I am is irrelevant but if you're fortunate enough to have received this broadcast and the coordinates I'm sending out, I hereby declare access to my location. Note that my anti-craft defense systems are online and any signs of threat will result in instant elimination. Thank you."
