I am sorry if my grammar is bad, but I am just learning to use Google Translate. I hope it does decent job? I do not know any English but I can type in my language and it tells me how to say it in yours.

My name is Briseis, and I have just arrived here night last. This world is very strange to me. Where I come from we have no machines like this one or even the bright lights like here has.

Is there here anyone else who is Greek like me? I come from Lyrnessus, though it is gone now, destroyed by Achilles.

	What do you mean 'English'? I thought everyone was talking and writing in Galactic Basic! Just another confusing element about this island I suppose. Greetings Brises, I am Micha Delmare. I have no knowledge of Lyrnessus but I have only been here a few days myself. Welcome. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	This place is very strange. Is it like your home? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is! No, it is very different than home, though there are some similarities. ~~I have no idea how to even explain it to someone from as far back in the past as you.~~ (Reply to this) (Parent)

	~~I knew I should have paid better attention to the Iliad~~ Welcome, Briseis. I am Chrestomanci. I must admit, this time is rather strange to me also. Please don't feel that you're alone in your confusion. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Are you from the past as well? I am told that I lived almost three thousand years ago. No wonder the world has changed so much? I feel very small and lost here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes. It was 1914 when I was going down to breakfast the other day then, much to my dismay, I found myself on this island in 2013. Of course, that time difference is no where near as great as your displacement. I'm sure we will both adjust eventually, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You mean...we don't have to go back home? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm determined to find a way back eventually. It seems to be taking me longer than I would hope, though. Do you not wish to go back? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No...not if it means I have to go back to being Achilles' property. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, then, I'll feel free to take my time in figuring out a solution. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hello Briseis, I'm Bridget. Welcome to the island, Google Translate is working fine for you so far. I would love to talk with you and learn what Ancient Greece was like. (Reply to this) (Thread)
