video; backdated to April 3rd
[Ion clears his throat as the feed comes to life. He looks tired and shaken and most definitely uncertain about his choice to make this message a video.]
I apologize for any trouble I may experience in this recording, I...I'm afraid I'm not terribly used to using the Network, but I have an important announcement I feel is necessary to make. It's...
[He hesitates, taking a deep breath before he continues on.]
...it's been a few days since those of us who were transported to outside of the Tower returned. I'm sure many of you know Patrick Dawn. He was my roommate and my friend. I wasn't sure what to think when he didn't wake up with the rest of us. I kept hoping...
[Again, he pauses. Ion's face turns a bit stonier and he gets to the point.]
He died. Outside. I followed him when he wandered off and I meant to bring him back to the group but he--there was an accident with a machine.
[For most of the message thus far Ion had been unable to make direct eye contact with the screen, but here he looks up, eyes pleading.]
It's with a heavy heart I inform everyone that I do not believe Rick will be returning. I'm sorry. I couldn't save him. If anyone would like to join me and share in saying kind words, I'm going to be paying my respects to him tomorrow on the forty-eighth floor.
[With that said, Ion makes to turn off the feed but then hesitates, his expression darkening further. After a brief deliberation he speaks again.]
I have something else to say, and I hope you can forgive me for not...bringing this subject to light sooner. I should have, but I'll admit that I've been afraid to. For those of you I haven't already informed, on February 14th, Ruana...[Here Ion struggles briefly with his words.]...disposed of her heart.
[As an afterthought, he adds one final thought--] Please be careful. [--before the feed goes dark.]
((ooc: Ion will reply to any replies made to this post, but he may not be particularly talkative.))

no subject
I wish there was more that I knew, but I'm afraid that's the extent of my knowledge.
[If only Ruana had been there. Maybe it would have been worse, but at least he could get some more clue about what she was feeling, why she had wanted to do it.]
Whatever she is, she must have been in so much pain to resort to this. I can't imagine...
no subject
Don't blame yourself for any of this.
Whatever happened to her here must have been awful.
