Thank you. I was counting down until I said something offensive involving radishes because I got my nouns mixed up.

[Pepper's gratitude doesn't come without a bit of dimpled good humour at herself -- she knows just how stilted that Japanese was.]

But I should warn you that my explanation will sound a little unbelievable, and also that I'm really very much not a scientist, so I can't explain the details well at all. In summary, though, everyone who woke up in the pods comes from different places and times. Some of us even come from different worlds. The ship crashed on a planet called Verdana, some unknown time in the past, and people have been waking up in the pods for the past few months to half a year.
