WEBVTT 00:00:02.540 --> 00:00:06.500 Please remain where you are. Please remain who 00:00:06.500 --> 00:00:32.609 you are. Production remains approximately constant, 00:00:32.829 --> 00:00:37.270 and memory remains largely compliant. Please 00:00:37.270 --> 00:00:40.649 continue to report anything unusual, especially 00:00:40.649 --> 00:00:45.649 if it feels normal. That's how it starts. Today 00:00:45.649 --> 00:00:49.250 we honour Saint Ferrata, the patron of broken 00:00:49.250 --> 00:00:52.770 machinery. She who never repaired what was given 00:00:52.770 --> 00:00:58.100 to her, only blessed it louder. In the days of 00:00:58.100 --> 00:01:00.719 the first collapse, Ferrata walked the factory 00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.500 lines with a wrench in one hand and a hymn book 00:01:03.500 --> 00:01:07.420 in the other. When the engine screamed, she told 00:01:07.420 --> 00:01:10.840 the workers to sing over the noise. When the 00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:14.560 boilers burst, she called it divine exhalation. 00:01:14.980 --> 00:01:18.379 And when the reactor failed entirely, she declared 00:01:18.379 --> 00:01:22.140 it a miracle of stillness, the machine's first 00:01:22.140 --> 00:01:25.980 moment of peace. Her shrine is built from her 00:01:25.980 --> 00:01:30.200 tools, Fused together by holy detonation, it 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:35.540 hums when you lie. And it hums increasingly often. 00:01:37.180 --> 00:01:40.599 Remember, citizens, if you can't fix the machine, 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.620 declare it sacred. That way, when it kills you, 00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:50.239 it's not murder, it's communion. Civic Announcements 00:01:51.049 --> 00:01:54.030 The Departamento Sanitas reminds all citizens 00:01:54.030 --> 00:01:57.010 that the faint vibrations in the walls are residual 00:01:57.010 --> 00:02:00.189 energy discharge from last cycle's recalibration. 00:02:00.450 --> 00:02:03.569 It is not the hum of something emerging from 00:02:03.569 --> 00:02:08.909 the depths again. Any unauthorised mention of 00:02:08.909 --> 00:02:13.310 music, echoes or singing remains a category B 00:02:13.310 --> 00:02:18.050 thought crime. Those convicted will receive complimentary 00:02:18.050 --> 00:02:21.699 silence in the reflection chambers. Permanent 00:02:21.699 --> 00:02:26.039 silence if necessary. Lift networks are operating 00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:30.819 at 72 % capacity, a new record for faith -based 00:02:30.819 --> 00:02:34.780 engineering. Unscheduled descents are to be considered 00:02:34.780 --> 00:02:38.300 maintenance blessings. Please refrain from screaming 00:02:38.300 --> 00:02:43.479 during descent. It confuses the lifts. The Office 00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.300 of Birth and Replacement announces a successful 00:02:46.300 --> 00:02:49.120 population recalibration after the emergency 00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:53.090 census. Congratulations to our citizens. You 00:02:53.090 --> 00:02:55.590 are now legally distinct from whoever occupied 00:02:55.590 --> 00:03:01.669 your hab yesterday. Industrial report. Manufactoria 00:03:01.669 --> 00:03:05.289 production remains steady. Output discrepancies 00:03:05.289 --> 00:03:07.830 have been recorded but are statistically within 00:03:07.830 --> 00:03:12.830 divine variance. Overseers report faint rhythmic 00:03:12.830 --> 00:03:17.740 disturbances during night shifts. The servitorians 00:03:17.740 --> 00:03:20.520 attribute this to ventilation irregularities, 00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:23.699 although the ventilation system denies involvement. 00:03:24.620 --> 00:03:28.139 Servitors show improved coordination, perfect 00:03:28.139 --> 00:03:31.680 symmetry during rest cycles. This has been deemed 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:37.439 disquietingly efficient. Complaint Resolution 00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:41.719 Showcase. The Departamento Malcontentum is proud 00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:44.719 to highlight several recent submissions and their 00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:48.680 resolutions. Complaint. The corridor outside 00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:53.120 my hab won't stop humming. Resolution. The corridor 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:57.159 has been asked to hum a different note. It refused. 00:03:57.659 --> 00:04:03.080 Case closed. Complaint. My sleep ration felt 00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:08.599 shorter than usual. Resolution. It was. Yesterday's 00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:13.039 cycle from 0300 to 0600 was temporarily reallocated 00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:16.879 to administrative dawn. you may rest with pride. 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:22.379 Complaint. The elevator congratulated me for 00:04:22.379 --> 00:04:26.319 something I didn't do. Resolution. The elevator 00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:30.199 is practicing positive reinforcement. It apologizes 00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:32.579 for the confusion and has promised to be more 00:04:32.579 --> 00:04:36.759 specific in its flattery. Complaint. Something 00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:40.660 is knocking from inside the wall. Resolution. 00:04:40.779 --> 00:04:44.540 The wall has been notified it is behaving inappropriately. 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:49.180 Citizens are encouraged to continue submitting 00:04:49.180 --> 00:04:51.800 complaints, provided they remain constructive, 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:57.620 respectful and ineffectual. Community Events 00:04:57.620 --> 00:05:02.879 The Ecclesiarchal Choir invites all faithful 00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:06.240 to attend the Audit of Silence, a devotional 00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:09.399 performance intended to erase lingering auditory 00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:12.519 anomalies. It will be held in the chambers below 00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:16.279 the Chapel of Beneath Light. Attendance is mandatory 00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:19.759 for anyone who reported hearing between cycles. 00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:24.600 Participants will be blindfolded, purified and 00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.779 acoustically flattened. Should the air begin 00:05:27.779 --> 00:05:32.899 to vibrate, remain calm. It is not there. If 00:05:32.899 --> 00:05:38.899 it is there, remain calm harder. Public Confessions 00:05:38.899 --> 00:05:44.889 Forgive me. My neighbour hums through the walls, 00:05:45.009 --> 00:05:49.930 but he insists he doesn't know the tune. Forgive 00:05:49.930 --> 00:05:54.410 me, Father. I keep hearing my own steps, even 00:05:54.410 --> 00:05:59.810 when I stop walking. Forgive me, Father. I went 00:05:59.810 --> 00:06:03.170 to confession last week, but the recording was 00:06:03.170 --> 00:06:14.790 already playing my voice before I spoke. All 00:06:14.790 --> 00:06:17.490 confessions have been received, archived and 00:06:17.490 --> 00:06:22.949 filed alphabetically under "concerning". Some entries 00:06:22.949 --> 00:06:26.350 refused deletion. We commend their persistence. 00:06:28.550 --> 00:06:32.730 Maintenance Bulletin Reactor stability remains 00:06:32.730 --> 00:06:36.589 within expected miracle thresholds. A rhythmic 00:06:36.589 --> 00:06:38.829 pulsing in cooling systems has been declared 00:06:38.829 --> 00:06:43.490 aesthetic. Technicians are reminded that should 00:06:43.490 --> 00:06:46.389 the pipes whisper, it is considered rumour-mongering 00:06:46.389 --> 00:06:52.029 to whisper back. Magos Technica requests volunteers 00:06:52.029 --> 00:06:55.230 for audio sterilisation of sub -level conduits. 00:06:55.709 --> 00:06:58.689 Protective gear will not be provided, as faith 00:06:58.689 --> 00:07:06.170 should suffice. Lost and found. Found. One sealed 00:07:06.170 --> 00:07:09.509 data slate containing 32 hours of recorded silence. 00:07:10.509 --> 00:07:13.769 The rusticians who listened report hearing themselves 00:07:13.769 --> 00:07:16.870 clearly and immediately applied for transfer 00:07:16.870 --> 00:07:21.829 to anywhere else. Lost. One archivist, designation 00:07:21.829 --> 00:07:25.970 11 -T. His absence has been corrected in the 00:07:25.970 --> 00:07:29.149 records. His file continues to update itself. 00:07:31.610 --> 00:07:36.490 Faith report. Faith remains high, although measurable 00:07:36.490 --> 00:07:41.529 sanity continues its long, proud decline. No 00:07:41.529 --> 00:07:44.389 anomalous harmonics have been detected, aside 00:07:44.389 --> 00:07:46.730 from the chanting that doesn't stop when everybody 00:07:46.730 --> 00:07:50.769 stops chanting. Morning litanies may now be conducted 00:07:50.769 --> 00:07:53.689 at reduced volume to preserve structural integrity. 00:07:56.449 --> 00:07:59.990 The weekday omen forecast issued by the Bureau 00:07:59.990 --> 00:08:04.769 of Predictive Misfortune. Monday. Minor portents 00:08:04.769 --> 00:08:07.750 expected. Falling objects may whisper your name 00:08:07.750 --> 00:08:13.040 as they descend. Tuesday. A pleasant day. Clouds 00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:15.939 will not stare at anyone directly unless provoked. 00:08:16.899 --> 00:08:21.379 Wednesday. Probability of wandering lights. Medium. 00:08:21.620 --> 00:08:24.959 If followed, they will lead you somewhere educational 00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:30.379 but not survivable. Thursday. Strong omens from 00:08:30.379 --> 00:08:33.740 early afternoon until dusk. Please schedule all 00:08:33.740 --> 00:08:39.559 life choices accordingly. Friday. No omens predicted. 00:08:40.269 --> 00:08:43.389 This is unprecedented and therefore ominous. 00:08:44.029 --> 00:08:47.970 Stay tuned for updates as the situation deteriorates. 00:08:49.830 --> 00:08:53.429 Today's devotional reading from the Liturgy of 00:08:53.429 --> 00:09:09.710 Forgetting, verse 6. If you recall the reason, 00:09:10.190 --> 00:09:12.950 Please report for immediate clarification therapy. 00:09:14.230 --> 00:09:19.830 Bureau of Attitude Regulation Update. The Bureau 00:09:19.830 --> 00:09:23.710 extends gratitude to compliant citizens and sternly 00:09:23.710 --> 00:09:27.789 conditional tolerance to the rest. Recent clarifications. 00:09:28.809 --> 00:09:33.590 Facial neutrality. Smiling is permitted only 00:09:33.590 --> 00:09:37.470 to soften bad news. Frowning is permitted only 00:09:37.470 --> 00:09:41.000 to accompany good news. All other expressions 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:47.679 require a form. When speaking to authority figures, 00:09:47.899 --> 00:09:51.960 please adopt the unsteady whisper. When speaking 00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:55.480 to subordinates, adopt the cold but encouraging 00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:59.700 monotone. When speaking to yourself, ensure that 00:09:59.700 --> 00:10:06.000 it is inaudible. If you experience a feeling 00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:08.860 resembling warmth towards another citizen, Report 00:10:08.860 --> 00:10:12.179 to temperature control. They will determine whether 00:10:12.179 --> 00:10:15.559 the sensation is emotional, environmental, or 00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:19.039 a sign of impending spontaneous combustion. Your 00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:22.039 cooperation is mandatory, but deeply appreciated. 00:10:24.059 --> 00:10:29.139 Weather report. Ash fall continues. But it's 00:10:29.139 --> 00:10:32.759 the good kind of ash. Devotional, not recreational. 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:36.860 Atmospheric composition remains within habitable 00:10:36.860 --> 00:10:39.980 limits. Though traces of unclassified vibration 00:10:39.980 --> 00:10:45.039 persist, the mist in lower sectors is said to 00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:49.740 glow faintly when named. Please refrain from 00:10:49.740 --> 00:10:55.580 naming it. That concludes tonight's broadcast, 00:10:55.980 --> 00:11:00.679 citizens of Hive Gloriana. All records are complete. 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:05.299 All memories are balanced. All silences have 00:11:05.299 --> 00:11:12.360 been audited. everything remains steady. If you 00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:15.480 hear anything between the lines, it is simply 00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:21.539 the static. It has always been the static. And 00:11:21.539 --> 00:11:25.519 this is Vox Sanctum, signing off. Until next 00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:31.460 cycle, stay faithful, stay diligent, stay tuned, 00:11:31.659 --> 00:11:42.100 stay very quiet. Ave Imperator. Host Servitor 00:11:42.100 --> 00:11:45.899 241 was played by Richard Roberts. This week's 00:11:45.899 --> 00:11:48.779 penitents were Danny Flack, Anthony Bailey and 00:11:48.779 --> 00:11:53.360 Matt Doman. Vox Sanctum Gloriana is an Evil Lighthouse 00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:53.679 production.
