005 :: VIDEO
[It starts out as an insistent ping sent out to everyone's communication devices. Like a pop-up advert that just won't quit, interrupting and annoying. First accessed, the screen shows nothing but rolling code, streaming too quickly to be read. Then, suddenly, it cuts to a solid blue screen - then green, then yellow, then, lingering for a good five seconds, red.
Another sudden cut, but this time to a still image of a low, internal pond. A staircase follows, then a woman, then a tiger. The last remains still for a moment, then begins to move, the tiger turning its head to look towards the screen, then moves forward, padding closer and closer until the fur of its chest blacks the camera out.
Nothing, for two seconds, and then music begins to play, no accompanying image. Mangled and broken for a moment, but then it slowly comes together, playing through for at least a minute before it fades into silence.
The 'message' ends, with no further explanation, and all device functions return to normal.]
[Around ten minutes later, Josias posts a video onto the network. He looks a little bemused, but pleased - but the most noticeable part, probably, is the cable coming from behind his left ear, running down and off camera.]
Apologies for that interruption earlier. Just running a test - and as is the way with tests, there were a few errors. One of which was accessing the entire network when I meant for it to be contained, apparently. [He looks more amused about it than embarrassed or apologetic, though he's trying to keep it tamped down.] Anyway, nothing malicious or related to disembodied smiles, don't worry.
[He almost looks like he's about to simply tip his head slightly and then cut the feed, but then reconsiders.]
Though I suppose while I'm speaking I should follow the example of the other departments, and mention that Agriculture are always looking for staff. We work in the Oxygen Gardens, maintaining the plants and harvesting the fruit and vegetables. It's an important role, considering the gardens provide us with air to breathe, but also one very easy to pick up, if you feel you have no applicable skills elsewhere. [A smile.] Or if you simply like working with your hands.
Inquire within if interested, so on and so forth.
