"What was it? It was... a vortex, of some sort. At least that's how it's been explained by those who saw it. It basically picked you up from where you were, and brought you here. I don't think anyone knows why. But this place... It's not like your home. People aren't always what they seem, companies and places you knew might be similar, but just different enough that you know they're not the same.. and not everyone came from the same place, or time. I guess the best term is alternate universe? And no, I have no escaped from the local mental institute."
