[ There seems to be another new face on the feed today, one that looks a little weary and scruffy as he scratches the side of his cheek with a bit of a frown. Clearly, he hasn't gotten a lot of sleep lately, but it's hard to say whether that's due to his arrival in this new place or the events beforehand. Maybe it's all of the above.

Dropping his hand out of view of the camera, he finally speaks. ]

I guess I should introduce myself, I'm Detective Nick Burkhardt from Portland, Oregon. I've only been here for a couple of days but I got the gist of what's going on from the man named Jerry at the information booth and just from scoping things out but a lot of it really doesn't make sense at the moment.

[ He sighs. ]

I guess the main thing I want to know besides how to get back home is what to expect here. Also, is there any kind of police department or any other emergency services in case there is trouble?

That seems like it should take a lot of work on behalf of whoever is behind this. Though I guess maybe not as much as kidnapping people from their homes and trapping them here through different places.

I'm sorry to hear that. That must have been hard.

I haven't figured out if it's something our kidnappers do, or a natural byproduct of shifting realities. It's a bit above my paygrade.

And I have a high paygrade.

Some had been statues for somewhere near decades. You can't save everyone, Detective.

That must be nice. Having a high paygrade.

Maybe not but that doesn't really make me feel better. Does it for you?
