**All across the city streets of City-16, a city wide broadcast flickers to life. The City Administrator Jeremiah Whitaker has taken the podium and is prepared to give an address to the public.
"To the inhabitants of the City-16, Boston, this is your Administrator Jeremiah Whitaker speaking. I'd like to take the time to share with you all a recent experience I had in a place far beyond the likes of our humble city. To the distance region of City-24. A prime example of Universal Union exceptionalism and quality leadership. It was upon my quick yet enjoyable visit to this city where I was able to bear witness to what life under the Combine Empire has the potential to become. Extravagant, eloquent, and most of all, luxurious. For I must take the time to remind us, that our recent elevation into a state of self-sustainability was brought upon by the care and dedication of our fellow European sectors and cities. For without them, our journey back into stability could just not be possible in such a small amount of time. If we are to run parallel to this desirable way of life, if we are to continue to grow and expand like our ancestors did generations ago on this same soil, then the favor must be returned. Our relationship with the marvel that is City-24 will only continue to grow. And with time, together, a new ago of prosperity will be achieved. Expect more updates within the coming months of recent changes and updates regarding foreign affairs. For now, as you walk to your newly constructed factories for work in the morning, when you gaze upon your state issued meals of the evening, give special thanks to our friends across the seas. For they are the the tip of the spearhead when it comes to a better tomorrow for all of us. Glory to the Combine Empire and her Workers. "
**The screens shut off, a fat grin on the Administrators face right before the cut out.
