Hello, everyone.

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Nanoha Takamachi, department head of the Magical and Mystical Department. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but please read this - this is a very urgent announcement.

Some of you may have already heard, some of you may not have: There is a very powerful and very dangerous entity sealed away here on Stacy in the part of the ship called "Escherville." From what we've learned of it, it's sometimes referred to as a "dark god," but the name that seems to pop up the most is "Nightmare King."

The bad news is... whatever you want to call it, it's waking up, and the seals in place won't hold much longer. We may have as much as a month, but probably it'll only be a matter of weeks before it breaks free of its prison, and we'll have to deal with it in person.

Please, don't panic - there's good news, too. My department is working as fast as we can to learn more about it, and to learn how we can fight it and get rid of it once and for all. For the moment, what we do know is how it will try to attack us.

The Nightmare King works on... well, you can probably guess from his name. Whatever it is will try to turn our worst fears and nightmares against us - and he may already be starting to get at us through our dreams. This is a powerful ability, but it isn't unbeatable. Not if we're prepared.

I'm going to need everybody on the ship - I don't care who you are, from Command Staff down to anyone who's just podpopped, no matter your department, no matter what you do on the ship... you need to be ready to face your fears. If you need aid from one of the ship's telepaths, I'm sure they'll be willing to help you. If you know what your fears and nightmares are, go to the Sensorium and see if Stacy can whip them up for you to confront.

If we're unprepared, we risk turning on ourselves. But I know we can prepare in time - I have faith that everybody here can get ready to facing their own worst nightmares. If we're ready for it, it won't stand a chance against us.

So please, everybody try to prepare as best as you can. Otherwise... if you're a capable combatant, make sure you're ready to fight. The Magical Department will let you know more as soon as we can.

I'll be happy to answer any questions you have for me as well as I'm able.

-Cpt. Nanoha Takamachi
