Byerly Vorrutyer here. We're on Earth, pre-spaceflight, although someone who isn't me will need to get a better read on the actual date and location. Linguistically, it's a hodgepodge. I can hear archaic Russian, a whole host of Asiatic and Romance languages, and something else I can't quite place.

If you can "hear" this, check in. We need to know who we've got to work with.

[There are a few he hasn't heard from or heard word of infiltrating yet, of course, but the numbers seem high.

And there are some who are missing and certainly won't be here, but the fact that his tone is perhaps a little too level when he gets to the word missing suggests that he's very carefully not dwelling on that right now.]
