[Hello City there is an alien on your screens today. He is still in the Porter building, pacing back and forth in front of the camera while talking very fast.]
Greetings! Professor Mordin Solus, newly arrived. Have already familiarized self with basics of situation, no need for explanations of location or reasons for temporal displacement. Communicator device basic, but archives useful for speedy research. Just to confirm findings: Disappearance of local law enforcement, unusually advanced tech created to conscript vigilantes from other dimensions. Result: ‘Import’ population, insecurity, unpredictable events. [sharp inhale] Strange solution. Wonder how it was considered a good idea.
[Mordin stops for a moment to address the camera directly.]
Anyway, am here now. Very excited. Current circumstances completely unprecedented. Functioning time travel combined with interdimensional transport? Beyond theory! [The pacing starts again. Mordin is talking to himself, hand on chin] Should be impossible. Should instantly destroy cell structure at subatomic level. Power requirements alone well beyond current human tech. Well beyond own world’s tech! Doesn’t make sense.
[Mordin turns around and a yellow, glowing construct appears around his arm. He waves it at the walls of the Porter building, scanning while talking.]
Of course, not a physicist. Porter function well outside experience. Still, extremely curious. Perhaps ask the AI- no, no, records clearly indicate instability, enormous power. Likely trigger hostile reaction. Dangerous. Better to ask you.
[The Professor turns back, faces the camera again]
Yes, yes! Would like to speak to anyone here who has already studied Porter. Share notes, compare theories on how this device works. Wormhole portals, quantum tunnelling? Need more data. Will also have to settle in, of course. Travel to MAC, hopefully not startle anyone unused to seeing aliens on the street. Assuming Imports used to nonhumans by now. Research first though. Want to know how this is possible, how we were brought here. Want to understand.
