[The video comes on to reveal the ruins in the northern mountains, the ones that everyone agrees are haunted. And apparently they are?? After all, the camera's following what looks like a possessed toy. A doll made of knitted yarn is climbing around the broken rocks and remnants of walls. Did a comm drone get lost and find its way clear out there somehow? Surely it doesn't belong to the toy. The Guardians only give comm drones to new arrivals brought by the Miasma . . . right?]

[The little doll loses its footing as bits of rock and dirt slip away from under its stumpy legs. It yelps, little knitted tubes for fingers scrabbling to find purchase in a crack between stones. It pauses, seemingly to make sure it indeed has caught itself, then huffs softly and half-turns toward the drone. Its "eyes" are a pair of mismatched buttons, the left one bright green and noticeably larger than the red one on its right.]

A little help would be nice, friend.

[The voice, sounding like a little boy, presumably comes from the doll, even though its mouth - a gash through the knitting crudely sewn across in such a way as to give it the appearance of ragged teeth - doesn't move.]

[The answering voice is one that every viewer will recognize, since all comm drones sound the same. Think SIRI.]

Understood: help. Starting community video to request help.

Correction: community video already in progress. Proceed to request help.

[The doll's head tilts as if in confusion, and shifts faintly for an instant as if glancing at the camera itself, then shakes its head and turns to continue climbing, sounding resigned as it talks to itself.]

Dumb drone. Not as if there's anyone else around. Oh well . . .

[on one hand, IT'S A CREEPY POSSESSED DOLL???????? On the other hand, stranger things have happened, and the poor little thing seems to need help. Even if it is creepy.]

Ahh.... if you still need a hand, I'd be happy to help.

[actually he looks vaguely creeped out but he's trying to be polite SO.]

Hey there buddy, you still need help? [That's one robut watching that little doll with concern, a tiny white fluffball cat perched on his shoulder.]

[That's new! Sam regards the feed with open interest, but speaks without any uncertainty.]

Hey, little dude. Lucky for you, a little help's not too hard to come by. You've probably got enough coming, but if not...?

[She offers a chipper little wave.]

Yo. I'll happily lend a hand.
