[It's not the most graceful resignation ever, but for Dist? Eh. It'll do.]

This city's name is Vatheon. Almost all of the people you'll see around here have been, for lack of a better word, kidnapped from their own worlds and forced to live here. The only way in or out is through that coral behind you-- [That big, bright, glowing thing that he can see in the back of the video screen, at least.] -- and the only people that know exactly how that coral works aren't exactly the type to be talking freely. All we know about them are that they're scientists of some sort, and that what goes on this city is... well, an experiment. What kind of experiment, no one really knows. But these people have the power and resources to keep this place running and to import and export people from different universes constantly. Even people of the same universe can be snatched from different points of time.

Ah-- [Running a hand through his hair, since augh, this was always kind of hard to explain--] --for example. What are some of the last significant things you remember, back from Auldrant?
