[The feed clicks on to show a teenager with floppy black/brown hair and a nasty looking burn scar on and around his left eye, dressed in red and gold old fashioned-y looking clothes. This may be a familiar face to a few of you still on board because yep, he was here a few months ago and doesn't realize that anything's different.

Or maybe more accurately, he hasn't realized he's been gone for weeks, and he looks kind of ticked off.]

Does anyone know why my room is on a different floor? If this is some kind of flood, it's the stupidest one I've ever been here for, especially after that ridiculous "let's kick the dining hall into open space" thing last week. Is anything else going on? Has anyone seen-

[Wait. Something is definitely not right.

The feed cuts off for a few minutes while he checks the network and tries to put together what's going on here. There are a bunch of unfamiliar faces around here now. A lot of unfamiliar faces. And it definitely wasn't winter last time he checked. And-

Yeah wow what is going on here.

And the feed clicks on again, and the annoyance has taken a turn for the 'kind of freaked out'.]

... How long was I gone for?

The first Inmate assigned to me disappeared, as well. I regret that they have both gone, but...I don't believe there is anything that could have been done to prevent it.

[restoringhonor]

No, but- It's not like she deserves to just vanish.

[grand_lotus]

No-one does.

[restoringhonor]

[Well he's just going to sulk over this forever. :|]

How have you been?

Private

[grand_lotus]

Well enough, nephew, well enough, though you have missed an eventful time. Valmont's...passenger attempted to engineer a takeover of the ship.

Private

[restoringhonor]

What? Why?

Private

[grand_lotus]

Frustration, I think. He had no hand in whether Valmont stayed or went, and it seems there was a limit on how long he would allow himself to remain in such...reduced circumstances.

Private

[restoringhonor]

What happened to him?

Private

[grand_lotus]

He was driven out of Valmont and destroyed by one of our newer arrivals.

[It would take someone who knows him as well as Zuko to know from his tone that Iroh did not approve of this at the time and still doesn't.]

Private

[restoringhonor]

Wow. [Yeah he does not think this was something that was done lightly. Hopefully.]

Are you sure you're alright?

Private

[grand_lotus]

I have my concerns about how Valmont is adjusting. He claims not to care, that he has simply lost an enemy, but...they have been at extremely close quarters for a long time.
