[When the feed comes on, it shows Steve in full dress uniform, looking fatigued. He forgets for a moment what he wanted to say - rather, how he wanted to say it.]

It seems like a lot of us got... unpleasant surprises, this holiday. [Silence. Then,] I'm... I don't know how many of you are familiar with the history of Earth as I know it, but I ( Read more... )

I am aware of why the plants reacted the way they did. I do not study plants often, but enough to understand some reactions.

Still, the snow was to continue. It was required.

The date has passed. I will turn off the machines and permit the controls back to the A.I.; the task is complete.

Relish in your warmth while you can.

So, uh, we don't have anything like Christmas where I'm from. (as far as I can remember, anyway)

[Sonic's wearing a goofy Santa hat and jacket today. Where'd he get them from? Who knows. He doesn't seem interested in telling.]

Hey, what's up! Merry Christmas, and all that stuff! I thought you couldn't really get into the holiday spirit in the middle'a space, but heck, I guess I'm wrong! Props to the lady in charge, this is all pretty cool! But ( Read more... )

[The feed opens to show a room in one of the barracks in Kurzweil. Or what was one, at least - it looks like something blew up in there. There are scorch marks and smoke everywhere, though at least nothing seems to be on fire anymore ( Read more... )

[The shot starts out on a Christmas Tree with rather… industrial ornaments. What? The giant alien robot is going to do is tree in a less-than-traditional manner. There’s only one box visible under it, already opened and emptied - the others that have been staying in The Rail Yard had their presents from the owner delivered personally, along with ( Read more... )

[Eleanor is sitting at a small table in her bedroom which is still at mutanthaus I believe, her phone resting on the far side of the table to film her. There's a small Christmas tree on the floor behind her, with a little pile of torn up wrappings under it. But her phone is mostly focusing on what is on the table, which appears to be a large, ( Read more... )

[Here's Shaun. Here's Shaun who looks... not very thrilled by something. To put it mildly. More along the lines of wooden face and kind of glassy eyes. But his voice is steady; if anyone knows how to make it decent on camera, it's him ( Read more... )
