I've been thinking, lately, about something I experienced back in the place where I was born..

If you could meet yourself as a child…

Would she/he be proud of you?

What kind of excuse would you say to excuse the things you've done or the person you've become?

This is an all-points bulletin alert.
I was traveling out in the demolished part of the residential area when I was confronted with an assassin.
Thanks to some quick thinking I am currently unharmed, but the assassin may still be at large.
No name was given, but he is a male, approximately 5'8" in height with a thin face and sharp red eyes. His two most distinguishing features were his unusual red hair with yellow bangs, and an unusual robotic arm with glowing green parts.
He also wanted to go home and knew nothing about Death City, suggesting that he was either incredibly ignorant--which does not seem likely--or that he was a new "guest."
Has BREW been acting up again?

Please be advised, he is VERY dangerous and relishes in killing. Also a special warning to trolls, as he may be holding a grudge. If you see him, please be careful!

[It appears Okabe has his eye jammed up against the mirror, as that's the only thing visible at the beginning of the video. Slowly he backs away, revealing a tired face, then bedraggled hair, then a hint of a lab coat.]

Hello, despaired networkers! I am the mad scientist Hououin Kyouma! Consider this video my debut, where all of Death City will soon know my name!

[He throws his head back and evil-laughs for a solid twenty seconds. This is a common problem, please stand by until he starts coughing.]

Now, to more pressing matters, as Screwhead Biologist was of no help. [Okabe certainly wasn't helping himself, but he chooses to omit that. He's distrustful of Shibusen as-is - they feel like SERN.]

I am interested in this device you call "BREW." Does anyone of this world know how it functions? Does Shibusen hold a monopoly on its powers? I'm... curious on its ability to manipulate time and space through multiple universes, and to take physical matter with it! Even the most advanced technology - my own, of course [he flips the lab coat for flourish] - of my time could send but small pieces of data without the target matter becoming jellified and... disgusting... How did Mayuri even eat that banana?

For that matter, does anyone of this world know of the space-time warp I, and assumably all you others, have traveled through? I'm curious on, specifically.... the structure of time in this world, and if I can reasonably apply the yarn-theory from my home world-line here.

Finally... [Okabe clears his throat and puts all his charm on.] Does anyone have any old or unused electronics they would kindly donate to the developing Future Gadget Laboratory? If anyone would like to build Future Gadgets with a genius mad scientist, I'd be glad to show you my plans... in private, of course.

Remember, you never know who's watching you.

[He jams his eye up to the mirror again.]

El. Psy. Congroooooo.
