[Thud.]

Ow! Way to be a klutz, Auriel, sheesh.

[The previous sentence was muttered as the viewscreen crackled to life, revealing a young man sitting on the edge of his pod, glaring at the screen.]

Okay look, can someone send me back to Alteria please? If I don’t get back, that means my brother’s basically won the war.

[And his girlfriend, but that’s being kept to himself.]

And he would be the worst king in fourteen star systems.

[Hopping off the pod, he picks up the box and tucks it under his arm as he starts making his way out.]

If I can’t get sent home, can I at least meet with whoever brought me here?

[More humans? ...Well he SEEMS human in any case.]

I regret to inform you that both of your requests cannot be fulfilled. If there is an organic being responsible for our presence here, the identity of this being remains unknown. From the information I have gathered, return to our respective worlds is impossible.

[coldfireprince]

[Of course. Auriel scowls at the response and glares off in some random direction for a moment.]

Bet you anything my brother had something to do with it so he could win.

[He is going to think that until proven otherwise.]

[aero_sage]

I am not acquainted with your brother. Would he have a reason for selecting each of us from our respective worlds to be brought here? If so, to what purpose?
