I can't be here right now. I need to go back. There are things happening back home. Important things. I need to be there, not here. I need to check on the others and I need to go back home to do that because that's the only way I can check on them since they aren't here. So I need to go back.

Oh! And there's zombies here now. There aren't supposed to be zombies. Or mummies, either. That's unnatural.

This is- What is this? [ pause ] Hello? Is anyone there?

[ distinct sound of metal clanging ] My God.

Interesting. Chocked full of anachronisms, but interesting all the same.

Anyone care to enlighten me as to why I'm here? Wherever here is.
