"Ahem, I'm aware that livestreams are not exactly standard for this node, but I believe I can't afford to waste even a second between receiving advice and putting it into action, hence I have decided to do it live"

"To very quickly give a refresher and some new context, my last post was one in which I asked for advice on how to deal with a conflict I seem to have been embroiled in surrounding a zoology lab, and a mysterious entity who seems to be attacking my investment in it."

"Since then I've done some research. It seems Pentex has indeed invested in this lab much like I. Though they are not a majority shareholder and only invested through a subsidiary. If it's Lupines, I think they may believe I'm complicit with them, as I unknowingly pulled out of my investment in the lab to cut my losses at the same time Pentex did the same."

"But the attacks haven't stopped and are just getting more chaotic and destructive, bombs have been found in the vehicles of all major investors (including my own and Pentex's subsidiary) with nonsensical manifestos attached, the researchers have become paranoid at these happenings and are failing to hold any of the academic side together, the-... Actually I shouldn't waste valuable time listing anymore, you get the point."

"I've also managed to obtain the files on the gang behind the death of the head of arachnology, apparently this was a splinter from the main gang and the police are unable to investigate the main group's hideout in the abandoned stadium for reasons that couldn't be disclosed in the file. So only the splinter responsible for the researcher's death have been investigated and arrested."

"I recognize this is a pathetic display, but I have to do whatever I can, it's never been my way to take defeat lying down, and I fear even if I do in this case that the consequences will be more than I can bare. And so I ask, for help. Advice is appreciated, but I'm willing to incur even a life boon for assi...stance..."

He trails off as he hears a subtle scuttling sound on metal.

His footsteps are heard as he turns to look, the sound of floorboards creaking making it clear he is kneeling down to look at something.

"No, doesn't seem like anything..." He stands back up and is heard coming back towards the recording device.

"Sorry about that, I'm rather paranoid with all that's been going on, as you-..." The scuttling sound is heard again, this time far louder, the floorboards creak as he turns to look once more.

"Huh? Oh. Oh what in the ever love of fu- OH SHIT, GET THEM OFF ME, THEY'RE CRAWLING EVERYWHERE, THEY'RE-"

[Wet, muffled screaming, cutting in and out]

"-THEY'RE IN MY MOUTH, THEY'RE EATING THROUGH MY EYE, SOMEONE HELP ME, SOMEBODY-"

His muffled screaming amidst the sound of some sort of scuttling is the only thing that can be heard for the next a few short seconds, after which it is replaced that same scuttling sound fading away, before the only thing left is silence, a silence that continues without end as the never ended livestream gets buried into obscurity under the the newer ones that are uploaded over the coming months.
