Two items of business.
First, to any who have not yet been made aware: Prosecutor Godot was found last night, severely injured and in critical condition. His captivity had aggravated preexisting medical conditions; consequently, he was suffering from dehydration, liver failure, and other related maladies. At this point in time, he's stable, though unless a donor for an organ transplant is found quickly his condition may yet deteriorate.
[A slight pause as he turns from one grim topic to another.]
Now. To any who may be concerned about the article in today's news: remain calm. No one will be turned out on the street. We have enough in the Newcomer's fund to, if necessary, purchase a small apartment building and run it independently of the government. Living would not necessarily be comfortable, and the purposes to which the fund might be put would be limited, but it would be possible.
To the end of preparing for this possibility, I send out a plea to any who do not yet donate to do so. In the months since arriving, we've managed to establish a robust endowment, but it can hold up under only so much strain. For those who are able, please give to support those who will be in your position - and, indeed, to support yourselves.
