You have to love a closed-loop event. Us being in London started it for us and ended it for you and vice versa. I don't think that I've ever experienced another one like it.
About as well as you could expect. Messier than I'd wanted but thankfully with no casualties. These days when people hear 'Alien' they generally rush off instead of standing there watching.
But tell me, how are you? And your friend, I never got his name.
