[The feed opens on a young blonde woman who looks a bit ragged and tired, and she has a bandage wrapped around her forehead. Her eyebrows are mildly furrowed as she tries to work out how to properly operate the device. She muses aloud to herself without realizing that she's successfully enabled the video function.] A mass communications network?

Hello, Celes, right? I'm Elaine. I don't think that pertinent information you were going to get will be of any use here, sorry.

You're in Siren's Port -- Seems like it's 2011 here.

Then I suppose I was fortunate to miss it. [As fortunate as you can be to basically hit the ground from a great height and be knocked out cold, that is.] I would have hated to have my time wasted in such fashion.

So I've come to learn. And that this is an entirely different world than my own.

[athermercy]

Yes, that's right. This place is like a pocket universe, but more unique in its function.

I've heard this place likened to a prison for the empowered.

[athermercy]

Well, that's one way to see it I guess.

How would you describe it? [Different points of view are important.]

[athermercy]

My terminology can get confusing, but as a soft place mixed with a pocket universe.

[A "pocket universe" she can understand, in a vague sort of way. But that other?] What do you mean by "a soft place"?

Video

[athermercy]

Soft places are spots outside Creations, hanging by the Void. They are nexus where time and space and other things met.

I figured out this is a soft place with a pocket universe inside.

[She's blinking at all of that.] These concepts sound very familiar to you. [It's kind of stating the obvious, but she's not sure what else to say.]

I've met people who have been there.
