Those who bring us here do not care so much for urgent matters like that. We cannot leave of our own volition. But if they should choose to send you back, it will likely be to the time from which you were taken.

By the way, that thing is called a tree. If you are unfamiliar with such organisms, I feel compelled to ask - how precisely is it that you breathe?

This meddling with time, it has happened to you in prior circumstances as well? This world is not my first experience with such things either.
I am not so certain about this 'ascending.' Granted, that would be the logical conclusion if the gods truly did bring us here to learn harmony, as they say, but the unwilling comings and goings of the people in this realm seem far more fickle than that. I am not certain there is anything one can do alter the duration.

I observed a potential future once, a long time ago, due to being transported through a higher dimensional plane. You are able to see such things on a regular occasion?
They may, but it is far more likely that they do not. At best, it has been seen that different entities among the pantheon of this place have varying intentions. Perhaps some of them wish us no ill, but I am certain of at least one that does, even if they will not explicitly state as much.
I have been here since last summer. But by the count of the days, that should have been only four months ago. Time passes strangely here--it seems to be dilated, such that the days are longer than they ought to be. [It still baffles him, when his general perception of time is so decidedly off from his precision measuring of time.]
And primitive depends on your definition. [After all, Andalites are objectively far advanced from humans, and yet Earth is covered with cities when the Andalite home world gives more importance open spaces that one might consider culturally primitive.] But technologically, yes, that would be accurate.
I don't believe so, no. At least, I have had no experience with such a thing. Quite the opposite, in fact--people who die here tend to return within a few days.
[He chuckles.] It's all right. Finding yourself in such a predicament when you wish to return home is doubtlessly frustrating.
As to, ah, the hacking problem... there was a small window of time after I first arrived here when I was able to 'tweak' certain things. But the gods seem to have noticed and instilled better safeguards since then. There is no reason to berate yourself.

My main concern with the 'tweaking' was to alter the device's coding so that it could transmit thought-speak, as it had not previously worked for... someone else from my world who was here.
< However, it is possible that the gods merely permitted me to do this so that I could use my natural form of communication over the Hitomi network. >
I suspect that this may have indeed been the case, since a short time later I used the coding access for more, ah, frivolous purposes. They must have blocked access since then.
