[The man in the video looks exhausted. There are circles under his eyes, his hair looks like fingers have been run through it a thousand times. It takes him a moment before he starts speaking.]

I feel as though I have failed you all. We all tried, we all did our parts. But in the end my book learning wasn't enough, and I am sorry that I was not able to find a solution to this problem.

I am also sorry I did not take early warnings seriously. There were those who tried to tell us about the possibility of a thing like this happening, and I thought -- surely not. Dragons don't simply return from the dead.

But here we are. Here we all are. The best we can do is move forward, I suppose, in any way we can.

It's not like you were the only one out there.

[She shrugs after that.]

We'll manage. That's all we can do, after all.

I've found that, if nothing else, we are a resilient people. We will grieve, of course. But then we will rally again, I have faith in that.

Hopefully. Now we just have to go hunting after answers.
