Hello? To anyone on this line, my name is Jack Bauer, I think there's been a serious mistake, I need to get in contact with the police right away to report a kidnapping. I also need to get back to New York immediately. I was with my granddaughter when I blacked out and I don't know what has happened to her. She's just a baby, I need to get back to

Your family's safe. This is another reality.

[ctu_savior]

What are you talking about?

[meowminx]

Alternate dimensions?

[ctu_savior]

What's that supposed to be, some kind of conspiracy theory?

[meowminx]

No, it's a fact of life.

[ctu_savior]

Then explain it to me.

[meowminx]

I'm not exactly a scientist. But everyone talking to you on this thing was brought here from another reality. Sometimes people get sent home, to the same moment they left. So whatever you were doing will still be there waiting for you.

[ctu_savior]

Are you absolutely sure about this? My granddaughter is-

I just need to be able to know that she's safe while I'm here.

[meowminx]

I've been home and back myself. Nothing changes.

[ctu_savior]

That's what I needed to hear, thank you Miss.

...Home and back. Are you telling me it's possible to be kidnapped by this thing more than once?

[meowminx]

Unfortunately. There's people who've been here three or four times.

[ctu_savior]

This is insane. Isn't the government doing anything to stop this?

[meowminx]

Government likes to ignore things it would rather not deal with. In every reality, it seems.

[ctu_savior]

That is disgraceful. The entire purpose of the government is to serve and protect its citizens, not abandon them because it's inconvenient!

...I'm sorry, I'm just... having some trouble accepting all this.

[meowminx]

That's a problem for most idealists.

[ctu_savior]

[Hard, bitter snort]

There's not a lot of people who would call me an idealist.
