[The feed catches the recorder mid-phrase, the sound initially faint before growing gradually louder as the screen focuses on a figure clad in blue with a generic (sentai) helmet that covers the top half of his face. One may recognize the voice as that of a certain co-founder of the Defense Force, but he's not about to admit to that identity so easily.]

We, the Volunteer Defense Force, commit ourselves to maintaining order in each quadrant with the people's well-being as our first priority. Because we are an organization run by volunteers, newcomers are welcome to join and bolster our ranks. Simply state your name and qualifications, as well as role preferences between combat, logistics, and relief work.

derpgenius in another room, and because Hubert's been shocked into silence, the words are muffled but comprehensible should one listen carefully:
"AHAHAHAHAH, I LOVE SHOWERS -- " followed by nonsensical noises of contradictory distaste and gargling.
Hubert whips around, the StarFish Communicator not quite turned off but held at his side and thus obscuring much of the view as he marches down the hall.]
