O Wonder! How many goodly creatures there are here! How beauteous mankind is! O, brave new world, That has such people in't!
I am uncertain, contextually, if I am quoting Shakespeare's Miranda or Huxley's John the Savage. In either case, I hope I do so with a great deal less irony.
I am told that I should introduce myself, particularly as I imagine that I would be a bit startling otherwise. I shall strive for succinctness. I am Dr. Hank McCoy, formerly employed by the United States government. I matriculated from Harvard and possess doctorates in biophysics and genetics from George Washington University.
Despite a debriefing upon arrival, I cannot say that I completely fathom the implications of my arrival here, crossing space and perhaps more troubling, time itself. However, suppose we should all make the best of this and even if this world is not the one with which we are most familiar, strive to make it a world of our own. One of tolerance and concord.
I believe it was Anaïs Nin who recently wrote: Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
