[nanobot activity report: begin overlord.command.upload]

Greetings, minions! While Mark discovers the limits of biological organisms (your Overlord has never needed a "vacation"), I will command the nanobots in the necessary maintenance of this piffle of human technology. To begin:

• The lion pits are in a disarray. No new Opposition Party Speakers will be chosen until the mess is sorted out. You humans never cease to amaze me with the amount of debris you leave behind when you expire.
• Somebody peel Chie off the ceiling of the Great Hall. Amusing, I know, but the 'bots are getting nervous about the long-term effects on the ventilation systems.
• Secret Master [censored], in charge of the United States Elections, is doing well in the Retraining Camps. Blew out three sound dampeners with his, um, commentary.
• Yes, I am well aware of the changes to the roster of The Puppet Ruling Council. I can neither confirm nor deny anything. Except that Mark had better stop with these petty biological concerns and get back to important things, like world domination. Priorities, Mark.

I'll be just as happy as anyone else when Mark returns. His maintenance nanobots radioed in on Saturday with a series of alarming changes to his neurochemistry. And a quite atypical period of inactivity during the night. We'd promise to keep you posted, but quite frankly we enjoy keeping you in suspense.
