[The feed starts with Nathaniel sitting at his desk, contemplatively glancing toward a few papers- notes- as he considers his words carefully, before looking up, directly into the screen and beginning to speak.]

Shortly before his departure from Adstringendum, Colonel Roy Mustang resigned from his position of Ombudsman. As this was in the height of our last event, I decided to postpone the reelection until after the panic died down a little. Having kept up with the work, I can assure any potential applicants that the workload will not be overwhelming, and I would be pleased to assist in any way I can.

It should be volunteer basis only, and the next Ombudsperson should be elected from the pool of potential volunteers. I will warn everyone who applies- it is a demanding position. However, you will get the satisfaction of helping the community decisions, as well as the opportunity to listen to many different viewpoints. I would highly encourage anyone with an interest in peace and organization to apply. You may respond to this post with any signs of interest.

[A deep breath, and Nathaniel steeples his fingers.]

Furthermore, there are a few more things regarding this 'Police Force' that I would like to address. Firstly is the name itself- I believe that it detracts from our overall goal and gives a bad impression. We are not intent on policing the people at this time, we are only concerned with protecting them. While we do intend to lock up dangerous civilians, it is only out of concern for others; and in a case where the people are altered by an event, only for the duration of the event.

We are not here to control your lives; we are here to help you live them safely. For this reason, I suggest we change the name of our organization to the 'Protection Squad'. Any further suggestions will be welcome.

[Nathaniel pauses one final time, considering his next words very carefully.]

...there have been... concerns brought to me about my level of involvement in this Protection Squad. Some believe that my assuming Jean Louis' secretary position, as well as Cabal's research division and temporarily doing the Ombudsperson's tasks, that I have been attempting to... take everything over. [He swallows hard, but forces himself to keep eye contact with the camera.] I assure you all that this is not the case. My only concerns have been with upholding the integrity of our Protection Squad- keeping it organized, keeping it running smoothly. While I... realize that my work-oriented nature does not attain me much social approval, I would like to reiterate that I will answer any and all questions and concerns.

Additionally, I would like to remind everyone that positions in the protection squad are open and on a volunteer basis- I do the amount of work that I do for lack of assistants or other volunteers. Our research positions are desperately in need of people, as well as our communications, planning, and the patrols themselves.

[Nathaniel takes another deep breath.]

Thank you.

...This is what needs doing?

Not necessarily. It's simply what was told to me.

Any help would be appreciated- healing, research, combat training, patrols, and organizational work are the main branches so far.

[He takes some time to consider this but not as much as he would like. He hates the idea of appearing indecisive, no matter whether he truly is or isn't. Unfortunately, this issue does indeed have him skirting back and forth. As much as he dislikes it, however, this particular position offers a great deal of exposure, which raises his chances of catching something that could lead him to his murderer. It would also allow him access to potential information otherwise kept private. Taking into account the likelihood of being chosen over others, which is decently small, he ends his mental war by raising a white flag.]

I am willing to apply, but I am also more than capable of handling training, research, and organizational work.

[That was a bit of a surprise. Nathaniel watches him for a moment before nodding, jotting something down on his notepad.]

Thank you. I'll put your name up- if you get the position, you'll be able to more appropriately delegate your workload to include assistance in those other matters. If not, then- well, you have more time to help.

I appreciate it either way.

Of course.

I suppose that's all that can be done for now then?

Until we hear the majority's opinion, yes.
