Yesterday, we were beset on all sides by a hideous enemy from my past. No one knows how she got here, but according to some, she's been here for over a month, listening to our conversations, hiding in our mirrors like the calculating schemer that she is. I can't apologize for her appearance though I may desperately want to. Her actions are her own, and it was her actions that caused a great deal of anguish and violence inside Mount Weather. I regret that more than you can possibly know.
I have seen hundreds of years of war. I have witnessed great men and woman cut down in their prime by sadists and evil men. We have all fallen to Earth in our various ways, but we have risen up to stand side by side, though we may have our differences. You have shown your courage, your fortitude, and your unbelievable strength. Without each and every one of you, we could not have survived.
We would not have survived, make no mistake.
Those who turn their pain, anger, and violence toward this community will find themselves faced with an impenetrable wall and spears to their faces. We will not go quietly into the night, but raise hell and take our enemy with us. You have fought too hard and too long for the survival of this community to allow anyone to overrun it for their own purposes
We are not without our losses, though. We have lost many men, women, and children to this adversary. Join the Chancellor, as well as the Councillor's this Sunday morning at Lemkin Cemetery to mourn and honor them.
