Normandy crew, please report. It is Thane.
I apologize for my momentary disappearance.

It would be wise to avoid both zones eight and seven.
The pillar in zone eight is -- in case this was not previously obvious -- causing people to go mad. Visualizing your loved ones, as they give you cryptic messages, both kind and terrible. It is not to be studied. I do not know what it is. I do know it is to be avoided.
Simply avoid zone seven. I have nothing more to add in regards to that.
If you're foolish enough to ignore these warnings, so be it. I have nothing more to add.
Shepard, if you are receiving this, contact me immediately. [If not, no worries; he's already working on tracking you down, Commander.]
[Thane's voice is, overall, reasonably calm -- but what's difference is that he sounds a bit harsher. Angrier, even.]
