[Gale takes a hold of his communication device as soon as the woman who greeted him is gone and scrolls through the "Introduction" app quickly before bringing up a video stream. His face is as emotionless as ever, but his voice is terse.]

My assumption is that this video is streaming to other devices of this kind.

My name is Gale, of Tribe Embryon.

I was given an adequate explanation as to why I am here. However, I was not given an explanation as to the cause of my being here, and I request information from others who may know. In all of these documents left on this device there is no file or volume detailing the how.

[The foggy memories of his comrades and their final battle aren't new to him. He only wonders why his body hasn't changed this time. Same clothes, same face. He can even feel the Atma Virus still running through his veins.]

This situation is neither uncommon nor strange to me, it is simply the means that remains illogical.

[And, perhaps as an afterthought;]

If there are any of Tribe Embryon present here, ...please respond promptly.

May I assume you have traveled through time yourself, then?

[substitutable]

[timeloops upon timeloops that he doesn't remember about--]

Well, to come here, for one, and also for a few missions. I've done a few of that.

[stagnantair]

You are from another time?

[substitutable]

Japan. 201x.

Pretty different from here, yeah.

[stagnantair]

I have no recollection of those places, so I assume my time is different as well.

[substitutable]

Your entire universe is probably different. Your clothes in my world would be considered downright theatric.

[stagnantair]

Theatric? I do not understand your meaning.

[substitutable]

Theatric! You guys got plays or musicals where you come from?

I'm just saying your outfit is so different from what a lot of people here are used to from their world, it almost looks like you're wearing costume.
