Nanowriter

Within Lacetea, a thri-kreen walks through the streets in silence. As they are passing by, the televisions start to shift heavily into a different broadcast where it points to another person. The thri-kreen mentally projects a smirk before his telepathic thoughts are heard through radios playing within a small city.

"We interrupt your usual broadcast with a final display of life. I must apologize but I don't regret ruining your day."
