[Sherry's been looking at this comm unit for days trying to figure out how to ask this, today she just decides to bite the bullet.]

I guess there's no way to ask this without sounding insane but, has anyone else here met people from their world but different times?

Not as insane as you think.

I've met people from the same world, different time, different reality. Others from same world, same time, different reality.

Sorry, I'm not sure if I understand the same world but a different reality?

[Since when did worlds have more than one reality? ]

[notblayde]

Functionally the same, yes!

Here:
1. What is your world called?
2. What country are you from?
3. Do you know what a dog is?

[g_jr]

[Sherry plays along.]

1. Earth
2. America
3. Yes

[notblayde]

Now what year is it and who's the president?

[g_jr]

2013 and President Adam Benford was just assassinated.

What's your name?

[notblayde]

Matthew Miller, MI6 agent and one of the remaining humans from 2019. I've never heard of a President Adam Benford.

[Sherry reads over the message several times eyes widening.]

Sherry Birkin, DSO agent, who was present in 2013 for you and what happened to the people?

[notblayde]

Defense Science Offices?

It's a bit shameful, but I wasn't particularly concerned with American politics at the time. I was only in the country for the criminal aspects then. Didn't appreciate much at 15, I'm afraid.

Standard alien invasion.

[g_jr]

No Division of Security, it's an anti-bioterrorism organization.

And did you really just say an alien invasion?

[notblayde]

See, that's completely new to me.

I did! The Zin. They abducted the best and brightest (including me, naturally) and then... Destroyed the rest.

[g_jr]

Since you said you were interested in America's criminal aspects I'm going to assume Bioterrorism isn't a thing in your world?

[Because there was no way something like America bombing itself because of zombies could be missed, also she's trying very hard not to assume the worse about someone being only being interested 'criminal aspects']

And it may be selfish of me but I'm glad we've figured out we're not from the same place because that just sounds to horrible to be true. Were you still being held captive before we arrived here?

[notblayde]

There was one incident, but nothing really came of it.

Oh, we'd escaped. Don't worry too much, we defeated their overlord and made great use of their technology.

[g_jr]

[Oh how she wishes nothing ever came of the Raccoon incident.]

That's great news.

Did you return to earth?

[notblayde]

There wasn't really anything to return to.

[g_jr]

Oh...[She'd been hoping, but really she should have known better]

Where did you go then?

[notblayde]

Mostly just space in general. We were able to kill the Zin emperor and take the mothership but we were still looking for somewhere habitable.
