[Someone is standing in the last place they ever expected to be again - Prospero's streets.]

Wh-what in the...

[She reaches into her pocket and finds, of course, a phone - just not the one she was carrying a few minutes ago.]

WHY THE HECK AM I BACK HERE?!

I was busy, dammit! Finally actually doing my job! Are you telling me this stupid place still needs saving too?

...

...

...these phones still work the same way, right?

If they didn't, you'd look rather silly yelling to yourself like that.

[soulsborderline]

But they obviously do, so I don't need to worry about that~.

[crazyoldbat]

[She laughs.] Have long have you been gone for?

[soulsborderline]

Well, the concept of absolute time is clearly even more meaningless between this place and home than it is in reality, but from my perspective it was about a month.

[crazyoldbat]

Then you haven't missed very much. December was eerily calm. We did get another delightful message from those anonymous voices.

or maybe December, EvaWiki isn't 100% sure

[soulsborderline]

December? It was September at home...

[Actually checks her phone]

Right. I must have left here before the end of November, so it's been a month and a half here vs. about four weeks even on normal-Earth...given that we're in Narnia or something, that isn't too far off.

pfft timelines

[crazyoldbat]

So time moves differently between the worlds we're from and here. Interesting.

[soulsborderline]

I kind of guessed that when a guy from the 41st millenium and Gilgamesh, King of Uruk both showed up here and I couldn't disprove either of them.

[crazyoldbat]

Not exactly what I meant. Obviously we are all from different times in our own world, but you went back and time moved differently in terms of progression.

[soulsborderline]

Hm~...you're a teacher. Are you familiar with Paul Dirac?

[crazyoldbat]

Vaguely. My specialty was in biology, not physics.

[soulsborderline]

Well, the short version is if you combine special relativity and quantum field theory alternate realities and the ability to travel between them aren't just possible, but likely.

Dr. Akagi would not shut up about it for like a week, and for once, it might have been relevant.

[sandma]

An interesting idea. Too bad we have no reliable way to test it.

[soulsborderline]

It'd explain just about everything except why the hell we're here, though.

[sandma]

That part may lay with those voices that keep coming through our communicators. Ah, but you may have not been here when that happened?

[soulsborderline]

I remember something after the zombies, right...?

[sandma]

Yes. And twice again, if my memory serves. They seem to be taunting us.

[soulsborderline]

That's as good an indication as any that they're responsible for this crap. Any leads on where they are?

[sandma]

If we had them don't you think something more would have been done? As it stands their uses of the network have been untraceable.

[soulsborderline]

*sigh* Great. Well, knowing they're there is something, I guess.

[sandma]

The first step into solving this mystery. If only a very tiny step.
