Grandfather, please tell me this is simply a lapse in time and that we'll be leaving shortly again.

I do not like the idea of remaining here any longer than necessary. The last visit I had to this place still rings far too true in my head.

You... got to go home? You were sent back to where you came from?

So it can happen...

[inherit_death]

I did. Back to Discworld and normality. Or as normal as my life gets.

Have you not had a chance, sir?

[star_to_steer]

No, ma'am. No, I... I'm very sorry to say that I haven't.

I want to, though. More than anything.

You were here before the chaos that shook the base, weren't you?

How long has it been then?

[star_to_steer]

Too damn long, that's for sure.

In fact, I believe it's been the better part of a year... if you count the months I 'lost' for whatever reason. I've missed out on one-fifth of my own five-year mission. Heh.

[inherit_death]

You lost months?

[star_to_steer]

Apparently the... anomaly which caused all this trouble became unstable at one point and there was some sort of catastrophe. All I know is that I... skipped out of time somehow and came back here later. I believe Captain Agathon and others went through something similar.

[inherit_death]

How strange.
