[The video feed turns on to be at an awkward view. All that's visible is the dark side of something that looks like luggage, blurred in red, white and green by the close proximity of the item to the screen. A patch of sky is visible and snow is obviously falling, but it's silent for a few moments… at least until--]

Where… What? It's cold… [A man

Please read this.

[cheesymustache]

Uh. [Wait. Hold on. He finally, blessedly manages to figure it out, and after he's read the information given, he lets out a sigh.]

You must be a civilian--that was actually very helpful! I just hope I'm dreaming this.

[witchoftheweek]

...I suppose I am...Thank you.

I wished I was as well.

[cheesymustache]

You're very welcome.

So... there aren't any other natives here, is that right? Other than these 'scientists.'

[witchoftheweek]

There was one; but I have heard nothing from her for some time.

[cheesymustache]

I-- ... [Aaand he finally manages a look up at the sky.] ... How is this even possible? Why people brought here?

[witchoftheweek]

The "other world, possibly universe" aspect or the "transportation to another world, possibly universe" aspect?

There seems to be little rhyme or reason to which people were brought here; and we have little answers as to why.

[cheesymustache]

... Both. But... how long do we have to say?

[witchoftheweek]

People vanish and are returned to the exact time and place they left by the whims of the people who suddenly bring us here.

Some have stayed here as short as a few days before disappearing. Others have been here for over two years.

[cheesymustache]

... [He's thinking of mostly his daughter and his wife...] So you're saying--for sure--that it's like we never left?

[witchoftheweek]

From the reports of those who have left and returned with their memories of this place...yes.

[cheesymustache]

... [He stops abruptly, takes a deep, deep breath and lets it out into the air.]

Thank you. My name is BJ Hunnicutt, by the way; former captain of the United States Army.

Patchouli Knowledge.

[cheesymustache]

It's a pleasure to meet you--I'm much obliged for the information.
