[ The studio is oddly silent. There seems to have been a haphazard attempt at decorating. Christmas lights droop from walls in no discernible pattern. A bamboo plant sits on the news desk with a dirty glass star affixed to the top. Candy canes, cups for eggnog, and other small trinkets are strewn over the desk.

Molly, Steven, and Michael are nowhere to be seen.

The camera cuts to Charon. He's wearing a Santa hat, but the spark has gone out of his eyes. You can be sure that if you were in person with him, you could smell more booze on his breath than usual. ]

Ah, yes, is this on?

[ He smiles thinly. ]

Festive news for you all. Looks like you've been invited to a little party hosted by none other than your beloved Scientists. A ball drop.

[ He snorts at the immature implications. An uncomfortable cough from behind the camera reminds him that there's still a job to be done. ]

Right, right. I'll make this brief. My gang and I have our own… holiday gathering to attend. But-- from all of us, and from those not present at Channel 8 news, Merry Christmas.

[ He holds up his glass of scotch. ]

And cheers to a wonderful era. Best wishes to all, and to all a good night.

[ Charon tosses back the remaining bit of his liquor before the camera fades to black. ]
