Alright, sounds like that’s working fine.
Hello! My name is Grian, I’m- well, as of today, I suppose I’m the new Head Archivist of the VOID Institute, given that my predecessor, Etho Slab, seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. And he’s certainly left a right mess of the place.
It’s weird. I’ve only ever been in here once before. Never thought then that I’d be working here someday… it’s a nice office, though, even if it’s sort of a shambles right now. Apparently nobody has a clue how it’s supposed to be sorted; Etho worked alone down here, and, well… his organizational methods are as much of a mystery as his current whereabouts.
Xisuma did let me choose a few people from different departments to come help me out here, so I’ve got three assistants now, which should make things easier. Well, four, counting Pearl- I actually don’t know if she’s got a formal job here yet or if she’s still just hanging around to bother me. Wouldn’t put it past her. But it’s not like I don’t have work for her, so I’m not complaining yet.
And as for why I’m talking to a tape recorder from fifty years ago instead of the nice new microphone sitting on my desk; the recording software we were going to use to digitize the files has proven utterly unreliable, so old-school it is, at least for now. There were quite a lot of these just sitting around Etho’s office, so… may as well, right?
(Pause)
You know, I’m really quite excited for this job.
