Alternate universe, huh.

I've read about those. Guess it was only time before I got stuck in one, too.

Let me guess - there's no way to go back, because if there was, a lot of you wouldn't be here. So let's skip all that panicky, confused crap, mm? Not going to be real helpful in actually learning something.

I'm Amanda. Who are you?

Hello, Amanda! I'm Doctor Zoidberg!

[bigreveal]

Hi.

What are you a doctor of?

[crabulous]

Not to boast, but I'm a highly respected surgeon.

[bigreveal]

Mmm-hm. I'll remember that.

So where are you from?

[crabulous]

I'm from Decapod Ten.

I'm an alien!

[bigreveal]

Huh. Never met an alien that called themselves an alien. Something new every day.

So the machine pulls from other planets too. Good to know.

[crabulous]

Well, it might pull from other planets, but I can't say, personally. I was on Earth before I came here. I'm a naturalized citizen, you see.

[bigreveal]

Uh-huh... [Sounds of scribbling in the background.] And the year? Where you're from, not here.

[crabulous]

Three thousand and nine.

[bigreveal]

That about makes sense. Earth takes its sweet time getting there, though...

Atmosphere's not killing you or anything like that?

[crabulous]

No, ma'am. I'm used to the atmosphere here. In fact, I find it quite refreshing. It's much cleaner than the air on my home world. And it smells nicer too!

[bigreveal]

Holy hell, what is your planet if the air's cleaner here?

[crabulous]

Decapod Ten is mostly mud and dirt. And sea water. Are you familiar with the scent of ambergris before it ages? It's similar to that...

[bigreveal]

Ugh. Yeah, I get it.

Glad you're enjoying the planet, then.

[crabulous]

Why thank you, Miss Amanda! I love the City! It's a helluva town!
