A~hem. Hear me, hear me for I am speaking to you! I believe that some of you baby tiny little ants are gravely needing a clue. Don't go anywhere without it. In fact do not go anywhere anyplace whatever place!

This man of men? HE IS A LIAR, A DE~CEI~VER, A FALSE WITNESS, A FAB~RICATOR, A CHARLATAN, A SWINDLER, A SHAM, A PHONY, A FRAUD! He's wrong wrong wrong! Get it? Not a smoker, a joker or midnight toker. Don't be helping him. Don't be listening to him.

Or you'll be sorry.

[The sound is distorted as the reply is not only switched to video but Lina replies with a speakerphone. She's not afraid to use it. Point made, she puts it down.]

PR is important essential vital as well. Soooooo much work to do.

[The Master makes a face at her, and puts his hands to his ears a moment.]

You have volume. That's something different.

[He gets his lesson-teaching face on.]

Volume is sound. Sound that people can drown out, or ignore, or turn off. [He flips a few switches on his console.] Like this, you see? I'm turning off the sound to your video feed. [He smiles brightly at her and continues.]

Power is control. Being in charge of events. At the moment, I'm afraid it really does appear that the Architect has all the power, enough that he's controlling all five of you, putting you into a screeching panic. Without power, no-one actually has to listen to a word you say, and considering how very rude you've been to the Citizens for an apparently powerless person, I don't assume they will.

[Ah. Very well then. Behold, the video feed continues. With subtitles.]

He has the power to annoy, pester, [and] badger the order of things. Do not listen and find out.

[And she rolls her eyes.]

I do not follow, fathom [and] understand what manners I am lacking. WARNING GUESTS IS A POLITE THING TO DO.

Oh, you're being very polite now. But word of advice, people aren't generally very pleased when you play with their lives. Letting guests eventually leave the party of their own volition is also generally considered to be polite.

And I already know, give me some credit. I don't trust any of you. It didn't prevent the rips from yanking me through the wall. Therefore, I don't need the warning. I just thought it would be kind to give you a little bit of advice.

I AM ALWAYS EVER ETERNALLY AS I AM. And the party is going to last forever. Why deny the inevitable?

Everybody loves a pooper that's why parties must have a few.

Then if the guests begin to mistrust the host, don't act surprised.

Wouldn't the Architect be the ultimate party pooper?
