[As the gear crackles to life you can see there is a tired looking woman sitting on a stump. She appears to be taking a break on one of the routes.]

Yes, this appears to be broadcasting after all. Very well. Let us try this, little one.

[There is a floating Solosis who floats into view who is probably the one she was speaking to before she looks at the screen. When she speaks it is with a thick German accent.]

I am Dr. Brigid Tenenbaum, I was told to try this device to perhaps get more answers then I have received from the locals in the strange town I woke up in yesterday.

If there is a way back home, I would very much like to know it. I was in the middle of a very important project before I was taken here and I am needing to return to it soon.

However, if such a thing is unknown then if anyone has information on what this world uses pokemon breeders for I would be most grateful. It appears I am one and while I suppose my studies of genetics may be helpful with such things, I refuse to do this work unless I know what the results may be used for.

Thank you.

Does your world have America?

I'm originally from San Diego, California, but I... was stuck somewhere else for five years and when I came home, I'd lost a lot of what I'd had before.

[Everything, really.]

[mothergoose]

Yes. It does. Though I have spent most of my time in Europe.

[And underwater.]

....I am sorry to hear that. I believe that happened to many people in my world after the war and the camps.

[She....doesn't think that happened to her because she didn't think she'd had anything to lose. She was just numb to everything but science.]

[Oh jeez, right. Dr Tannenbaum is old enough and from the right time to have lived through World War II.]

Yeah. That's what I've read.

[mothergoose]

[Yup and with her sleeves rolled up you might just be able to see the start of a line of tattooed numbers on her arm. It's however something she doesn't really bring up much. And she seems distracted by another thought.]

With people from other worlds here. Do any of them come from a place with these pokemon creatures as well?

[fingersandteeth]

I don't think so. [Tyler's occasional seeming recognition of Kanto pokemon nonwithstanding--Tyler was from his world and he knows they didn't have any there. Besides, if the theories he'd discussed with Dirk about this world being in a video game were right, then Tyler had just... probably played that video game as a kid.]

[mothergoose]

A shame, it would be interesting to compare.

[fingersandteeth]

It really would be.
