004- We need to talk, folks. (video)

[Shepard is clearly actually intending to talk to the network today. She has the D-Terminal balanced on something, and she's standing with her arms crossed over her chest.]

I'd like to take a moment to remind you all that we're all in the same boat here, and it's not a fun boat, no matter how many parades they put on. Try to be understanding of other people, got it? Most of you are good about this, but a few of you seem to need a reminder.

[Yes, this is entirely about what happened with Cam. Shep is disappoint, guys.]

But on a lighter note. Does anyone know how to train digimon?

[In the background, Monodramon pokes his head into the frame and waves.]

They're not soldiers, so I can hardly put the Cadet through basic, but they're not animals either. I get the feeling the techniques I used with my ex-girlfriend's dog won't work here.

Well, I mean, I don't really know what happened, and I don't think he wants everyone to know...

[ She pauses, taking a deep breath. ]

I'll try to look after him. I already told him that if he needs anything, he can just ask, but he's kinda stupid so I don't know if he will. And I don't want to barge in on his privacy to constantly check up on him. But I've been helping make sure he eats.

It isn't my place to tell you. Just know he's alright.

[She laughs.]

I don't blame you for not wanting to butt in. Keeping food in him is plenty.

D-Don't laugh, alright! I'm doing my best, so you'll just have to deal with that!

[ She's a sensitive tsun Mama Shep ]

I'm not laughing at you, kid. You're doing fine.

[She shakes her head.]

But men really are reluctant to ask for help, aren't they?

[Shepard, so are you.]

Ugh, I know! Producer was the same way.

[ Iori gives an exasperated sigh. ]

Anyway, I'll just keep doing what I can.
