[The voice that comes from the device is low, even, measured, precise, and very, very angry.]I have been given some information about this city. None of it was remotely substantive.

[he sounds completely bored, as he always does - of course, being yanked to new worlds is par for the course for him, at this point]

Hm. From what I heard, it was some kind of machine that took us here.

Valuable knowledge. And who operates said machine?

[a bit of a pause while he yawns near-silently]

No one. They don't even know where it is.

And by what mechanism does it work?

[footsteps for a moment, and then the sound of wind. he makes a slightly frustrated noise]

Raining.

I've looked up a bit at the Library. Seems all the information on that was destroyed a long time ago.

I see. And by what scientific property does the machine simply transport people here? I'm assuming, given the way people speak of it, that they do not claim it to be an airplane or a ship.

With what intermediary step?

I don't think it's any kind of physical transportation.

[a sigh]

What I mean is that there doesn't seem to be a vehicle involved.

Naturally. Teleportation.

This is not Star...Some science fiction movie.

[you can just hear the slight hint of incredulousness in his voice]

Didn't say it was.

But it's happened to me three times now.

What, precisely, has?

[very matter-of-fact]

Being taken from home to strange other worlds.
