[The video function switches on, revealing a lovely look at the City's night sky. The lights of several buildings can just barely be seen from out of frame, implying that wherever this is being shot from, it's pretty high up.
After a few moments of this, the comm twists around, revealing the cameraman: an athletic figure in a red and gold costume, big bug-like eyes looking into the device in his hand. He remains silent, while behind him two other identical mystery men shimmer into existence.
And then they start to speak, sentence moving from one to the other, and all in the same digitized voice.]
Red Team has-
-arrived in the City. Our present coordinates are at [address], though they seem to be inconsistent with-
-the same location as we are familiar with it. Current theory is that we are in-
-an alternate world. Can anyone confirm this? Gathering intel with this communication device has proved extremely tedious so far-
-so much to look through in such a short period of time. The direct approach is far simpler. [The trio look to each other, for a second seeming like they're about to talk amongst themselves...before simply nodding simultaneously and turning their attention back to the device.]
Additionally, if performing heroic acts are what is required to return to our original location -
-or world of origin in this case-
-then we would appreciate it if someone could point us in the direction of a situation where our talents could be beneficial. [The first then quickly adds as an aside. ] ...Not that we think it's necessarily that simple. It's just far more productive than hanging out on this rooftop and waiting all night. [The other two nod again in agreement.]
