[Ichijou looks not unlike an overworked secretary, as he's balancing what looks like two CATs in his hands and watching over a switchboard intently. He doesn't even look up as her message broadcasts, but he tries to maintain a pleasant, professional tone in his answer.]

Regardless of where you should be you are here. While I'm not responsible for that, allow me to be the first to apologize for it.

And I'll also apologize for the poor timing. This is typically a much more calm and pleasant place - I promise! We've just run into a massive system failure. Once we get everything back up and running I, and likely the others, can attempt to explain the bigger picture in detail once we've caught our breath.

But for now we'll need all the help we can get. If you don't mind wandering around a bit, please contact the man called Proctor - or you may confirm your willingness to assist us to me and I'll ask him for your assignment. It shouldn't be anything terribly complicated, and I'm certain that others around town will be willing to assist you.

If they aren't I'll be having a word with them about it.

Ah-! My name is Ichijou, by the way.
