Chapter 1 [video]
[Being from Victorian-era London, Alice has no idea how to even begin working the miniature netbook. It only manages to activate through sheer stroke of luck. With the screen facing upward, viewers can see that this girl has clearly seen better days. Sickly pale skin, disheveled hair, dark circles around her eyes, worn and dirty clothes... Hardly the picture of health one would expect from someone so young. The only part of her that doesn't look ragged and tired would be the pendant of the Omega symbol ( Ω ) she has around her neck.]
Blasted woman made no sense at all. I will certainly not be living here, or have anything to do with their so-called training.
[Underwhelming as she may appear, this girl still has a sharp tongue on her, and a distinctly English accent. She takes a look around, but it’s clear that she has no idea what she’s supposed to be doing. Alice just sighs.]
Out of one nightmare and thrust straight into the unknown. It seems that fortune smiles upon me once more.
[The view moves, as she raises the intended communicator and looks into the monitor.]
And what a remarkably useless item you turned out to be. I’d almost go as far to say that I’d prefer the Cat as opposed to this.

How did they achieve it on such a large scale? Was there any permanent... damage?
I implore you to tell me as much as you can, Miss Sayaka.

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure nobody got seriously hurt, at least. [ Physically, anyway. ] It was really sudden. One minute everything was normal, and the next...
[ It all went to hell. There's a delay, here, and eventually she sends through a link to this. ]
There was an announcement a few days before it happened. I don't know if it'll help much, but it's the closest thing to an explanation right now.

In any case she at first doesn't really know what to do with the "link". She learns, though!]
A rather poor explanation, but it'll have to do.
[She can't help but laugh in spite of it all.]
Remarkable. I've been sent so far into the 'future' and yet it seems so very little has changed.
video;
Yeah, you're right. [ For being more than a thousand years ahead technology-wise, they're pretty damn incompetent. ] It doesn't really matter, though. There's no way to justify something like that.
[ Bitterness? Check. It seemed so incredibly pointless despite what they all went through, and that's what annoys her the most. ]

A pity. Ill-suited for combat as I might be, I had almost found myself willing to support the Initiative's cause.
