[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.

That's.. very true, yeah. [If only Watari was here, all of that had his name on it almost. He was the madscientist of the division after all.] I'll see what all I can find out and keep note of it.

Yes, I'd be alright with that. I've handled things like that a lot back home.

This means that you'll probably be working closely with the various researchers. Would you be alright with conversing with Castiel and myself on your findings?

Of course, I've never really worked alone on things like this. Back home a partner is always required, just to keep eachother in line and make sure the other is working.

-do you require a partner?

[He wasn't expecting that.]

I can try to find someone...

It was just a requirement for shinigami in Meifu, Mandrake-san. I can manage myself-

I wouldn't want to trouble you further with everything else you have on your plate.

Nonsense. You and the other volunteers are taking so much off of my plate that I worry I'll look like I'm slacking.

[Sheepish laugh goes here, plus matching smile.]

It might do you some good, before something else comes up to replace what we are taking off.

I couldn't slack if I tried.

[He shrugs.]

Thank you, though. For your support.

Neither could a friend of mine from home.

[.. Oh god Tatsumi should never come here.]

No need for the thanks, but you're welcome.
