Good evening.
[There’s a woman speaking, tone clipped. The corporate jumpsuit hangs off her small frame, and her hair is swept up into an old-fashioned bun. Or so it seems - she’s standing a bit away from the screen, and it’s tilted at an odd angle.]
I am given to understand that this is how to contact my new coworkers? My name is Beatrice Brewer, at your service, and I assure you I am quite qualified. I am - was - an apprentice of the fifth circle in, ah, a collection of magi, have experience in a thrilling variety of crises, and am quite keen to get started on - [a heavy sigh, more notable for the fact that someone observant might catch that she doesn’t breathe] - this situation.
[There’s a long pause.]
Drat, is this bloody thing even on? Dreadful place, what sort of dog and pony show are they running, honestly. Stuff? Stuff? Of all the names?

Re: [Video]
A good evening to you as well, sir, even if the technology seems to be treating you poorly as well. Thank you for being willing to be the bringer of ill news, but it does match to some of what I have already observed. A difference, perhaps, in what assumptions our magic make upon the rules of the world? Terribly inconvenient.

At least there are others in the same boat. Power in numbers. I daresay you are right about the 'corporate speak' as well.
Solutions Amplifying Synergy of Intellectual Capital, or something horrid like that.
