ANALYZING… FILE TYPE: Announcement Recording PERIOD: Colony Era SPEAKERS: Reed, D. [ID: DREE] TOPIC: New Cascadia SUMMARY: A recording of a message from General Davic Reed, provided to Tau Ceti IV colonists upon exiting cryogenic sleep. =================================================================== [DREE]: Hello, and welcome. This is General Reed, UESC Operations Security Command for New Cascadia. Colony leadership has asked me to include a message to all colonists who've recently awoken from cryosleep, so good morning. I hope you slept well and are acclimating to Tau Ceti IV. [DREE]: As my job is keeping you safe, let me share a few important pieces of information to help you settle into life as a citizen of New Cascadia, our new home. Once on-planet, proceed to orientation where you'll receive a medical checkup—you'll be getting a lot of these early on—and be assigned your housing quadrant and final work details. [DREE]: Personalized schedules for colony and new world integration will be delivered during orientation. These mandatory courses provide basic community, job, and safety instructions to help us all understand the dos and don'ts of life on Tau Ceti IV. [DREE]: One thing they've asked me to emphasize is that you should "learn from the PAST." That's P-A-S-T, each letter standing for something to remember. P is pressure check, A is air quality and supply, S is for your suit, that's an important one, and T is for "Tell Gabriel." [DREE]: Gabriel is our New Cascadia health and wellness intelligence, so tell him if you're feeling out of sorts and he'll be there to help. Just speak up and say, "Gabriel, I don't feel well," and he will offer assistance. So, that's T for Gabriel… I mean, T for "Tell Gabriel." I've fouled it up a bit, but you understand. [DREE]: I'm to make you feel secure now, as Security Command, and there's no script portion for that. So, I'll say, honestly… we are all in good hands, together. As a, a community. As a continuing society in a new galaxy, on a new world. [DREE]: Great minds and brave souls have come together to plan, engineer, and execute our journey between stars. Yourselves included. I'm not just saying that. I mean it. Every one of us has a vital role to play. Yesterday, today, tomorrow. Together, we will keep ourselves safe. You and I. Every worker. Every neighbor. [DREE]: And beyond that… we have operational contingencies for everything you could imagine. We have the resources, the technology, and the right people in all the right places. Believe me. This is the best, most thoroughly considered operation in human history. We've a great team, and it's a touch greater now that you've joined up after a long sleep. [DREE]: Ah, that's enough preamble. I'm sure you're eager for your next steps, and orientation awaits, so… Thank you for your time and attention. And here's to new tomorrows. I'll see you on the ground, citizen. Until then, this is General Reed, saying… welcome home. =================================================================== TYPE: TEXT [X]; AUDIO [X]
