The young man is the only one not stated to be crew, but that doesn't mean they aren't. I'm trying to figure out what the intention is before judging, but I realise that that may not become clear after another night or two.</p>

If anyone knows who the orange man is, I would definitely like to hear it. It's definitely something the crew would like out in the open.

<p>And to add, no I was not worried about that, I took it as a something that I noticed. As The Two said, two of the other sections were self explanatory.</p><p> </p><p>

I didn't read anybody being in the red button room/lab, so curious as to where that plays out.</p>

<p>Addition #2 <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

In going back to the first write up, the young man behind the podium talks about increasing his audience and the night write up says a young man wishes to talk with the crew member.</p>
