[Since no one else seems to be doing it, Stein may as well take care of it himself. He sends Karkat this file before turning on the video. And Karkat gets a view of a man with a screw through his head, sitting backwards on a chair. If he looks, just behind him on a desk are notes written in what appear to be Alternian.]

My name is Dr. Franken Stein, one of the staff members up at Shibusen, and I've just sent you a file that covers all the basic information you'll need to know so I suggest you read it over. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

[He pauses to take out a cigarette, because he knows he's going to have to bring it up.]

On the matter of Condesce, I wouldn't worry too much if I were you. While she's not fond of anyone who shares her blood or mutant bloods, I can guarantee that you have nothing to fear from her so long as you keep a respectable distance or if you see her with me. The only place you may run into her is at morning training if you attend as she runs a cake stand there, but I'm always there to make sure no trouble is started so you won't have to worry.

I'll have a jar of a sopor substitute sent to wherever you'll be staying, it was created actually at your own request when you were last here, however that was some time ago and improvements have been made to it since. As of right now, it's only a jar that you leave open next to your bed and it helps as it's supposed to, but I'm always running experiments to improve it's quality.
