While we aren't any closer to discovering what killed all the people of this world – unless it truly just was a combination of the monsters and skin-thieves, we have taken steps to getting closer. [That doesn't really make sense, but just roll with it.] Meanwhile, the cities seem to be determined to turn into an island from the Boin Archipelago. [Oh look a freaky world reference no one will get. Luckily, Marco explains.] Which are these giant plants that pretend to be islands so they can anything foolish enough to land there.

Don't eat the rivers of ramen if you see any folks!

[Marco's jokes suck for timing, but no really, that is a real thing in his world. Seriously.]

[fierybluebird]

No, but seriously, that ramen's not poisonous, it's just the end you have to worry about, so enjoy any rivers of ramen that might turn up. Live it up, I say, just don't eat it all at once.

[How does he say that in deadpan??? Hopefully someone cracked a smile despite the weird and ridiculousness and timing.]

For those of us who were on the journey, I'd like to thank our Captain for getting so many of us out alive, and with the treasure in tact. And for anyone wanting to thank him more substantially, his birthday's tomorrow. [A TOTALLY NOT SUBTLE WINK THERE. Leave it to Marco to disperse warnings about monsters who steal your skin, ways to discern whether you have to kill your best friends, and carnivorous plants and yet also randomly make jokes and mention a Happy Birthday shout out. Totally sane.]

[fierybluebird]

And for anyone who missed out on the journey or parts of it, [On account of being dead :|] don't worry, you didn't miss much. [That gets a smile out of him. A slightly grim one.] Though I think I can safely speak for all us when I say: it'll be awhile before we feel like going in that direction again. If ever.

[fierybluebird]

As a very final note, and my last official one as first mate of the mission, I'd like to remind everyone, no matter what bad things this world puts us through, we will always come out of it eventually alive, whatever the means of that are. It's not something to be taken lightly. Sometimes shit happens, and that cannot be prevented. But getting up again is what matters, and I know everyone here will carry on, eh? Because I saw how you all handled yourselves, and believe it or not, I'm proud of all of you. Thanks for putting some trust in me and helping us all get through it. [He means it more touching than it sounds and takes off the glasses to give a salute. However depressed he's been over the last two weeks, he's grateful for everyone trying to help each other get through it and thus believes in all of you. No forgetting it.] Even when things got rough, you all held your own and didn't give into panic, just continued helping each other out. And for that you should also be proud of yourselves. Whether in the city, or out there. I'm sure we can expect a lot of that in the future as well.

This has been Marco ending out the news. [A glance over to Jack and a nod as though therefore returning the news back over to their anchor for the night.] Jack.
