Nathan, in what looks like a special bus. Good to see he's safely strapped in like a good boy. He's most likely en route to a VIP party or possibly an exclusive press conference.
Nathan studying his watch very intently, outside the Sony Press Conference. This showsthat he's an important journalist and is concerned that he maymiss his next 'appointment'.

That's better.
More later... be sure to find out what happens next! (Like, see some actual games.)
