Piper text-to-speech won't run without internet access? Log file inside

I’m trying to run my Home Assistant on a network that isn’t connected to the internet, and it seems like that’s preventing Piper from even starting up. It works fine when I run it on an internet-connected network, but if I run it on just my LAN, it fails.

Here’s the log file, which I think indicates that the program is failing because it can’t reach the internet. Any way to fix this?
