It is well to see you. As for my absence, I was taken once again...I only just return today. However, I was not returned home like I usually am, instead, I was returned here, with these devices. I have been unable to move since.

[With that being said, the Vulcan un-pauses the game and continues to play. He seems oblivious of Syre's presence for a bit.]
