You Can Do It, and Even If You Can't, We Won't Think Any Less of You, Man!

[There's the sound of a pencil tapping against a piece of paper. Someone's stuck trying to do a school assignment when he really doesn't want to. School's...pretty much the last thing on his mind at the moment. Instead, he's been listening to the various voices and messages over the network about what's been going on outside. It's unnerving is what it is, but it doesn't stop him from asking the real question on his mind.]

Also, SOS Brigade. Report in, tell me your progress on things. [Yes, purposely vague. Somebody hasn't been taking his role as President very serious lately.]
