[When the SFC turns on, the image is at a funny angle, but it clearly shows a soaked red-headed young man leaned up against the fountain. He's dressed in a bright red military outfit with a long yellow scarf around his neck, but it's clear parts are badly singed and even the man himself isn't in the best shape. Part of his arm and one of his knees seems to be torn open, but instead of blood and tissue, there's metal and sparks and some sort of fuel leaking from the wounds.

Still, despite the injuries, the man's spirits don't seem to be damaged. He groans in frustration as he takes in his surroundings.]

Dammit! Now what? Hey, Joe, can you hear me?

[When there's no response, the frustration flashes clear on his face. Jet's eyes take in his new surroundings and eventually find the recording SFC and the brochure nearby. The brochure he decides to set aside for the moment in favor of the weird thing that looked like some sort of technology.]

What the hell is this thing..?

[And then he promptly discovers the off button.]

I am, of course. But, I believe we arrived from different worlds. At least I believe we did.

Maybe. Don't suppose you're from Earth, are you?

I lived most of my life on Earth, but that's not where I was born.

Yeah? I'd ask where you were born, but I get the feeling I wouldn't know it even if you told me.

I'm from New York.

So you're from America. [Same country she ended up in.] As for where I was born, if you weren't from my world, then most likely you wouldn't know. But I was born in Domino, but ended up living most of my life in Gardenia.

Yeah, sorry, never heard of either of those places. I'm afraid I've only been to one other planet and I wasn't there long; didn't even catch it's name.

[He'd just been there long enough to help those children defeat their invaders, and it hadn't even really looked all that different from home. Except the sky being green.]

Heh, I guess not all aliens are small and grey.

Nope, most people from other worlds could be considered not small and gray but more human like.

Guess I should be figuring that out if what this pamphlet thing says is true.

Name's Jet, by the way.

If it helps, I believe it is.

I'm Bloom.

Nice to meet you.

And, uh, thanks for explaining this thing, there's nothing like it back home.

You're welcome. If you ever need help again, I'll be happy to help.
