[there's a moment of silence at first from Mao debating whether he really wanted to post this or not. Part of him had just wanted to exit out and delete the message even after he'd started recording. However, as you can see, it seems he decided to go ahead and go through with it. Whether this will turn out to be a good thing or not he doesn't really know]

You think... everything out there really is gone?

Whaddya mean? What's gone?

[drillsanddrool]

I looked through some of the older messages. First one of those Doctor guys said that he couldn't find anything outside of this castle place, then a note straight from the Organization saying something about the seams of worlds unraveling.

I'm just saying it doesn't look good.

[cowardly_hero]

Well, there's gotta be somethin' out... there, right? I mean, where else did we come from?

And what's this about worlds and seams? Worlds have seams?

... what's a seam?

[drillsanddrool]

It's like what puts it together. Meaning that worlds out there might be just... falling apart, however that works.

[evil_ditto]

Shouldn't you be the one who's gone?

1/2

[cowardly_hero]

Yeesh. Sounds like some outta learn to take better care of their worlds.

[Permaprivate]

[drillsanddrool]

Oh. You're not dead?

2/3 I lied

[cowardly_hero]

Wait a minute! Those there are our worlds, aren't they? And if they're fallin' apart and the doc says there's nothin' out there...

[evil_ditto]

I should be the one asking you that!

3/3

[cowardly_hero]

Ah... What was the question again?

[drillsanddrool]

I guess that's your fault for not checking for a body, isn't it?

Anyway, I have a score to settle with you for destroying my specimen abductors.

[drillsanddrool]

It means while we've been staying here, we've probably lost a home to go back to.

[evil_ditto]

I did check. You were trapped under layers of concrete.

How did you survive?

[cowardly_hero]

That can't be right. What about those who've gone home and come back here?

[drillsanddrool]

...I don't know. [he sounds a bit more hopeful with that, but...] It's not like we can explain people coming from different times, either.

[drillsanddrool]

Because I'm an Overlord. If you can't even do your homework on a simple concept like that, payback's going to be even easier than I thought.

[cowardly_hero]

There ain't explaining any of it. The only guy who even seemed to have the slightest clue was that old loudmouth mayor and he's, well.. let's just say on 'permanent vacation'. He said he was workin' on a way to get everyone home but as you can proably guess it didn't work out.

I tried gettin' into City Hall once thinkin' he must have had some kinda notes on it but after going in there I ain't ever goin' back.

[drillsanddrool]

It's not like we'd be able to do that now, even if we tried. There's probably only one person who even knows what's going on at this point anyway.

[cowardly_hero]

Yeah and he's proven the real social type so far.

[drillsanddrool]

Maybe that spiky kid has the right idea of going after him.

[cowardly_hero]

You're gonna need to be more specific, kid. In case you hadn't noticed 'spiky kid' could be a whole lot of folks 'round here.

You talkin' about the one with big feet?

[maybeimaleon]

We came from somewhere.

( voice )

[inflation]

All in due time.

[divine_storm]

Of course not! That's still the stupidest thing I've ever heard!

[magicissrsbznz]

According to what few readings I can get through my Device, there might be something to all of that. There's something weird happening out there, anyway.

Matter that's fallen into hyperspace is... lost. It isn't destroyed, but that's about all we know for sure. I hope that isn't what's happening here. And I can't raise the Arthra. This isn't good...
