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.

So you don't think what you're doing is okay?

Of course not! It's why I'm doing it.

There wouldn't be much point at all if it were the right thing.

That is a terrible justification.

If you're concerned about him, contact him off this network and tell him what you really mean.

Don't play games with communication, that shit messes with people.

Now you're starting to get it.

And if he happened to be concerned for Elliott that was for the kid to figure out. ]

No, I got it from the start.

You're being a dick and you think it's okay because you think your intentions make it all better.

But you're still just being a dick.

You can disagree with someone and also show concern for someone all without being a dick about it.

Maybe you aren't getting it after all. My intentions were to be a dick.

[ The rest was cleverly hidden extra you weren't meant to pick up on. ]
