Greetings Geo-Agent,

We have good news.

Agent Richard Merkin is alive.

At least, we believe he is.

This correspondance is Top Secret and For Your Eyes Only. The ramifications of the following information going public could have wide-reaching global consequences.

Every single MIB Agent and nearly everyone else of any significant political, religious, or leadership status across the entire world appears to have awoke today to discover an unusual video of unknown origin embedded on their personal devices. We have thus far been unable to trace how it got there. At the time of this writing it does not seem to have reached the public and we do not wish to see our agency be the first to share.

Agent Merkin's shuttered personal office monitor in his cubicle here at HQ also turned on today and displayed a message informing us that "The Existential Reckoning has Begun".

The video in question contains a bizarre melody with mildly dystopic speech. As we said, it is "unusual". 

We are very concerned with what the meaning of all of this may be.

We have analyzed the voice in the recording with the best equipment available and can confirm that it does belong to our Agent.

Please take a look and see if you can glean any knowledge from the video and report back to HQ through your app.

We have every man and woman in the department working on this.

Richard Merkin is a Hero but never forget that we must be ready for anything.

Good Luck, Geo-Agent

Men In Black Headquarters,

Area 51, Nevada

United States of America

Here is the link to the video as it appeared on our devices this morning:

As usual we will recognize 2 FTFs.

One for the Day-Time and one MAJOR Boss FTF for After Dark.

Absolutely NO PHOTOS OF ANYTHING at the GZ

Thank You & Stay Safe
