Ladies and gentlemen, your mayor...
True to the word of the random pieces of paper next to your desks, at exactly 1:30PM New Rapture Standard Time, there's a chime on all radios in the whole area - and there are a lot of radios. Both the portable radios you've all been issued and speakers all over chime before a pleasant woman's voice calls out to all of you, slightly tinny and distorted.
Greetings, prospective citizens! Please make your way to the lobby for a personal address from Mayor Fontaine! Presented by Fontaine Futuristics, where we bring your present into your future!
Upon everyone's arrival into the lobby of the hotel, several televisions set into the walls light up with:
Until, after a few moments, the screens flicker and cut to the face of... someone, in silhouette, just like the rest of Rapture. There are no features to make out, though, as the top of a huge leather armchair raises above their head.
Mayor Fontaine is watching.
When the Mayor speaks, the speakers seem to have trouble getting it out. There's heavy distortion and static over it, but the voice seems clear enough - male, from the sound of it, and slow and purposeful. A thick Bronx accent, for those of you with a New York to compare it to.
"So. Welcome to New Rapture. I got some things to say, but I'm gonna bet if I just open the floor to questions they'll come up and it'll save us all some time. But to cut a couple off at the pass, so to speak: yer not leaving, this is real, et cetera. Now, ask me some questions, would you kindly?"

Indeed. They are as they will be. I hope, while it lasts, the amenities are to your liking; they're the best New Rapture has to offer.

The food and clothing is amazing, thank you. Much better than where I was trapped before, I'll say that much.
I'm guessing your boss has told you not to answer any of the questions he hasn't answered? So I won't bother you with a barrage of questions like that. Regardless of all that, I hope he's treating you well and not putting you at too much risk! [It's smart to send a beautiful girl to meet them personally. The amount of people who would immediately try to murder or attack her is much different than if it were a middle aged man in this girl's place.
Also, in a biased way, Penelope is glad to be dealing with a girl her age instead.]
