Video post from the Bureau

[A new face from the Bureau appears on the screen - this is Ms. Garcia. She appears exhausted and stressed.]

This last week we investigated a disturbance referred to as 'the corruption' in the other universe. Today we can confirm that it has spreed to our universe. We have examined a number of individuals and monitored their symptoms. We can say for sure it is not a virus, bacteria, fungus, or pathogen of any kind. How it spreads is unclear to us at this time. We haven't ruled out a supernatural explanation.

We do know its symptoms,

[She reads from her clipboard.]

Which are as follows:

- Excessive violent emotions
- Compulsion to act on violent emotions
- Bloodshot eyes, with yellow-red tinged irises
- Sunken, darkened eye sockets
- Excessive sweating, though fever is not a symptom
- Nervousness and agitation
- Exhaustion, although individuals still seem to sleep a normal schedule
- Blackened veins showing through skin; however, when blood is drawn tests find no abnormalities.

[She looks up from her clipboard.]

We have heard reports that there are some measures a person can take to prevent catching this corruption. We are currently studying to see if these methods help so we can give a more definitive answer.

[She returns to her clipboard again.]

- Mindfulness techniques and meditation, to make yourself consciously aware of your emotions and to exercise self control.
- Selfless service to others, helping those in need.
- Possessing one of each stone from the other universe's Stone Festival will ward off the corruption

[She looks up from her clipboard again and lowers it]

No one has died from this condition that we know of. However, the compulsion to act on violent emotions is concerning. If you are experiencing symptoms of this corruption, we ask that you come into the Bureau building and seek our help.

Thank you for your time.

...I can help calm people down a little, if needed.

[ Hopefully he has a sense of humor. ]

I'll have you know I hesitated because of you.

[Unfortunately, not when it comes to criticism re: his job]

Hesitated to do what? You were right on the spot when your bosses called.

[ Ah well, they will just have to gif-snark at each other then. ]

It doesn't take me all that long to do the math.

And didn't you say it would never reach us here or something?

How was anyone to know the portals went two-ways? It's not like we were ever told, oh by the way... something might follow you back. It's our fault we weren't given full access to all the information about these things?

If we can go both ways, then it was always a possibility! How much information do you think anyone has stored up about interdimensional portals anyway??

You would have the ask the Bureau that and their record for straight answers is pretty bad.

It might be, but most of us have only spoken with one representative.

Texted like that's not making my point about the Bureau being cagey with answers.

And I already told you I was concerned about that.

You realize I'm one person, right? But apparently that's all we have to work with right now.

I'm sure you will fix it all.

At least I'm going to try.
