Discuss an exit strategy


[The feed starts with Arro standing before a projection screen with a small device held in his hand. He smiles widely and takes a bow.]

Good evening, fellow citizens. Arro Caine, at your service once again. Today let me speak to you of business rather than trivalities; though I welcome those as well.

I have put in for a small venture, and alas the powers that be tell me I don't have the monetary requirements met. I have put in an appeal, and I have been told that could take over a month to complete.

Yet I will not let that deter me~ Let me instead of handle this through another means and ask you, the other citizenry directly. As you know, the Genessia Scientific Research Institute of Genessia City has been endeavoring to find us a means back home. I recently joined this effort.

[There is now a slide behind him showing Genessia in bold red, with perhaps a hundred branching points from it, some hitting other red dots on the slide and branching further.]

I'd like to propose an experiment; a possible means of tearing open a dimensional rift. I won't allow another soul to use it, but perhaps if I could take a small bit of help from you so I can study this method; a few witnesses to help monitor, some equipment to record and document as I have no exact measure of how much energy this method takes. I would also need a few clever minds for help on if there is any way to set a destination in detail once we have the means of actually generating such rifts on an even possibly semi-frequent basis.


[There is now a slide of a detailed illustration of a park with a jagged hole in it revealing a city through it, the proposed dimensional rift.]

This is of course on top of the work the Institute is conducting on simply finding the point of origin for all the residents here--those that wish to leave, at least.

Will it result in anything? Well, that depends on you, the government, and the will to succeed.

I will also field questions, concerns, and of course your many criticisms on the matter~ Let me also point out that this is simply a preliminary experiment, so do not get your hopes up, as the Insitute may deem such research too dangerous and ban it. So far I have yet to meet with serious opposition to the concept.

[For Christmas this year, it seems that everyone's gift is a very irate little face yelling about what is no doubt a very familiar complaint.]

This is an outrage, an outrage I tell you! No one ever treats me with respect, not even the world itself! And now here I am in some weird place! Do you have any idea how long it took me to get out of that weird metal thing? People shouldn't just assume everyone is the same size! And...and..

[She covers her mouth as a little sneeze overtakes her.]

And its way too cold!

[The wind outside isn't too bad, but for some reason her hair was whipping around like she was in the middle of a blizzard.]

I'm gonna freeze to death out here!!

[To anyone who might be near the area where new arrivals wind up, you may stumble across a small bowl on the ground, upside down, that seems to be rattling. More odd is that if you listen closely you might hear the sound of tiny teeth chattering. That bowl's owner is currently using it as protection from the cold!]
