1
Janine announces that because of the destruction of Thurman's underground base, the superhorde has dispersed enough that Abel can start to bring their Runners home. Because of this, they'll be clearing the airways for mission coordination. She's going to leave you with a full body workout to keep you going. And she looks forward to welcoming each and every one of you home.
2
Sam is really looking forward to seeing you all again. Sam will be starting this workout off with some Squats! Apparently most climbing accidents happen on the way down when people relax and make mistakes. It's important to keep your focus, even though you're on your way home.
3
Peter is making his last broadcast from the movie theatre, and he and Foxy will be returning to Abel together. He's a little worried about returning to society after being alone for so long. For this exercise, you're going to do a Plank. Good job! Peter is going to prepare for his triumphant return.
4
Jody is broadcasting from Abel now that she's made it home. She's had a message from someone on ROFFLENET who thinks they might have found her brother! She feels so full of energy, so she's going to work it off with some Punches. When she first got out of the warehouse she felt scared. She feels like she's having to learn how to be a proper Runner again. But she got home safe, and you will too.
5
Phil is back and full of the joys of whatever season it is now because he's lost track. He reads a message from Zoe suggesting that Peter adopt a cat instead of a fox. But onto the exercise. This time you'll be doing Press-Ups! Good job. Another message from Zoe says that she's adopted a bearded dragon called Marconi. Here's some more music while Phil checks that Zoe hasn't adopted anything even more unusual.
6
Excellent work, Runners. Janine understands that it may be hard for the Runners who are still waiting to hear about people being brought home, but she promises that she will get you all home. She also says that they have lost people during this, and every loss is a great blow. The last exercise is a Wall Sit for one minute. Good job. Sam will have a few last words for you, so Janine wishes you a safe trip back to Abel.
7
Sam has trouble keeping track of how much time has passed. Sometimes it feels like forever, and sometimes not long at all. Time to stretch out and relax. Whenever Sam felt lowest, he'd remember you Runners and how much you mean to him. He thinks in a few years this might all feel like a bad dream, and that there are good times ahead. He's going to miss these broadcasts though. But it isn't goodbye, because he'll see you all soon. Stay safe out there, Runners.
