Hello. Hello, all you lovely submariners, precursor aliens and beautiful, beautiful peepers out there.

My name's Thomas Quilfelt, captaining my first ever Canaan Rinse issue, and joining me are Brian Edwards.

Hello, I'm coming to you from LifePod USA I'm just gonna do a hi and Ryan Zau blub blub and such we're here to talk about
