I would ask that everyone here attempt to recall the precise date they arrived. It's clear enough we arrive in waves; think, if you will, if there are any similarities amongst you. It's possible we've been searching for larger patterns when in fact smaller ones persist.
[Slight pause.] To those new arrivals to whom I've not yet spoken, I advise caution. Indeed, in this place caution must ever be the watchword. You've heard by this point about the serial killer on the loose, and I've little doubt many of you have seen the creatures that come out at night. Death is a constant risk in this place, a constant companion, and while we do our best each to guard one another, in the end, your safety is your responsibility. Be cautious, be vigilant, and be always alert.
In any case. Those are words you've heard before, and words you'll hear again. On a less commonplace note, I've something of an...experiment, after a fashion, I'd like to conduct. Tell me, if you will, your native tongue, as well as any other languages you speak. In particular, I am interested in those who come from worlds not Earth. If possible, I should like to exchange a few words with you.
