[Video, Sunday morning]

[The face on the network now is not a happy one. This beaky-nosed older gentleman, with his expensive suit and tie and his lightly feathered hair, looks rather coolly displeased. The background is that of the outside of the ship, since he’s apparently found his way out, though he hasn't gone very far yet.]

I’m not sure just who thought it was a good idea to be kidnapping people? But I can assure you, whoever you are, it was a very. Bad. Idea. You have kidnapped entirely the wrong person.

[When he smiles, just one corner of his mouth turning up, it doesn’t look particularly cheerful. It looks a little threatening, actually.]

Whoever is behind this, I have much more important things to do than dealing with you, but believe me, dearie, I will make the time if I have to. I’m assuming, whoever you are, you’re paying attention to things said on this device you left me, so I’m sure you can see this. Send me back where I came from... and I might decide not to make you sorry.

[And he waits, leaning back a little in the camera’s view, both hands resting on the grip of his cane. Somewhat impatiently, and fully expecting someone to say something back-- whether it’s a smart something... or a stupid something. He has places to be, and he’d rather not linger here longer than he has to.]

You're here!

[Belle shouldn't be delighted by this. She isn't, entirely - there's worry, too, both for matters at home and for the inhabitants of this world if anyone decides to go and do something incredibly stupid.

Which, in all honesty, she can't really put past a good half of the people on Verdana on the best day.

But mostly, in the heat of the moment, it's delight, and relief.]

When did you wake up? I'll be there as soon as I can.

Not quite kidnapping, I don't think. More like different world all together. Almost as if there was a crossing of the streams of each possible universe.

Whoever kidnapped us is a little beyond anyone's reach. Unless you happen to be a time traveler.

My understand is that we were not kidnapped. Instead, we fell through a crack in our universe.

[ For the record, Helga thinks this is worse than being kidnapped. If they had all been kidnapped, there would at least be someone to face. ]

[Bruce is busy tinkering with things on the ship, but he can multitask.]

Unfortunately, you're going to be stuck here awhile. At least, until we can get the ship up and running, calculate the correct equations for traveling to various points in time and space, and make use of those calculations correctly.
