1st Devouring

The feed snaps on to reveal a woman with dark hair and bright red eyes, dressed in a heavy tanktop and pants. There's a massive red bracelet on her right arm, and leaning against the wall behind her is a sword at least as long as she is tall.

"Hello. My name is Lieutenant Sarah Snowdon, Fenrir Far East Branch - I am a new resident who came here by way of Geartopia. My medical exams have been cleared and I've been given a clean bill of health. I look forward to working with the rest of you in defending this city."

She relaxes minutely after delivering the rigid, rapid-fire introduction, and her next statement is much less painfully formal.

"Alright then, now that the formalities are out of the way, I think I should get down to the actual reason for this broadcast."

She steps out of the direct video feed at this and gestures to the giant sword behind her.

"This is my personal weapon, a God Arc. It's an extremely dangerous weapon, so I need to explain some basic safety precautions concerning it, since I can't rely on them being common knowledge here."

She leans in, emphasizing her words.

"Never touch it. Every God Arc is genetically attuned to exactly one person and can never be safely used by anyone else. The best case scenario is simply that my Arc will devour you if it's touched. The worst case scenario..."

She trails off at that, her eyes going distant before she turns back to the feed.

"There are worse fates than mere death. Thank you for your time."
