[The video starts with a tall, bearded man wearing a tailored suit sitting on the edge of a very executive looking desk in an equally executive looking office.
He smiles before speaking in a low, steady voice, his arms by his sides. Purposely left uncrossed. No fidgeting. He's comfortable in front of a camera, but not without practice.]
To be forcibly removed from our homes, support networks, and everything we’ve ever known is no small matter. For some, the experience can be traumatic. You may struggle with day to day life, or find yourself feeling unsafe in your new home. Holding down a job or making connections with other people can feel difficult, or even impossible, when you're uncertain of your environment and place within it. Everyone copes differently.
Very few of us asked to be here, and it's necessary the city is prepared to deal with the very real problems experienced by its displaced citizens, and accommodate their needs as efficiently and empathetically as possible in order to create and maintain a happy, healthy society. My name is Cameron Waltz, I'm a negotiator and cultural mediator from Earth, and I've been appointed the role of public representative to present our needs to the city council, and ensure our voices are being heard.
I'm looking for feedback on how your life has changed for the better or the worse since your arrival. I'll start with a few questions, none of which you have to answer, but would be very helpful in solidifying the case I'm building.
Please answer as honestly as you're comfortable. Anonymous commentary is allowed on this post, and you're welcome to be as vague or as specific as you'd like, without fear of discrimination.
I greatly appreciate any and all responses. With your help, we can find the holes in the existing social services system and work together to close them.
Thank you for your time.

-Have you felt adequately supported by the city, and its representatives?
-Do you struggle mentally or emotionally with your expatriation on a day to day basis?
-Are there aspects of life in Riverview you find more difficult than others?
-If you’re a minor, or know a minor, have you found the social services offered adequate?
-Are you satisfied or dissatisfied in the career provided for you? Do you find yourself changing jobs often?
-Do you struggle to make ends meet?
-If there's any one thing the city could do to improve your life, what would it be?

Insight from an ex-pat working within law enforcement would be extremely helpful, and I'm free to meet in person at almost any time. Whenever and wherever is most convenient for you.
May I ask how long you've resided in Riverview?
no subject
I think my fiancé is going to be working late tomorrow, so we could talk then, if that works for you.
no subject
Congratulations on your engagement.
Are you and your fiancé from the same place, or did you meet them here?
no subject
Thanks. It happened about a month ago on my birthday, we were both planning to propose on the same day. Pretty cool, huh?
I knew him at home, but we weren't together there, and we didn't hang out very often. He was a friend of a friend, and once we were here and we only really had each other from home, we started hanging out more. One thing led to another and, well. Here we are.

I'm in a similar situation, in terms of my connections here being my coworker's niece who I've known for some time, and my daughter's high-school history teacher.
I'll hopefully be seeing lots of both of them for the duration of my stay. I imagine we'll get to know each other more than we would have back home, where we all run more or less in our own social circles.
