[ Though Oswald's network posts are usually on the formal side with a professional sense to them, this time it's a bit different. He's not sitting at his desk or standing to make a speech, the background instead implying that the video is being taken from inside his own home. The atmosphere is a bit more personable. ]

Hello, Genessia. I realize it's been... well, a while since we've spoken. It seems that, on occasion, the dream docks like to take their time. [ He smiled, but if you looked close enough you might see just a flash of how frustrated he really was about it. That tell was gone in the blink of an eye, though. ] Regardless, I would like to apologize for my absence. I'm aware that I've missed quite a bit, which is in part why I've only now announced my return though I've been back for a short while.

Waking up after such a time away was, as you might imagine, an incredibly disorienting experience. I felt that in complete ignorance would be an unfitting way to address all of you, though there is still plenty I'm not yet caught up on. While I am informed of the many issues surrounding Everglade currently, including Miss Sutcliff's disappearance, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask for your patience while I work to properly and accordingly take action. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope to be seeing more of all of you from here forward.

I'd like to be honest with you, Dave, but it's... proving to be very difficult.

I suppose the easiest way to say it is that I became the person you warned me not to be.
