[ Surprise, it's a video feed featuring Hal 'Bohmerbot' Nine-Thousand, his null manner, his creepy voice, and his excellent taste in suits. He appears to be leaning against whatever is supporting the comically cybertronian-sized cot in his quarters while he broadcasts. ]

I wouldn't like to inconvenience anyone with my confusion, so allow me to quickly summarize what I believe has occurred. Somehow we have all ended up on this alien planet. It likely has something to do with the large rip in the fabric of space-time over that ever-growing pile of debris under it. There is no way home and we are now subject to the political machinations of whoever is already settled on this planet.

[ He seems to be scrolling around in the Link as he talks. There's no harm in getting as much information as possible, though he doesn't bother with filtered things. No use finding information if you cannot share it, after all. ]

I imagine that there are a few things I can expect, having gone through something similar. Most of the population has some sort of unsettled feelings about a certain issue. There will be one or two large fights as well as an attempted coup, before everyone eventually realizes that such skirmishes are pointless here and settles down. There are also duplicates of individuals from various universes.

Is that right so far? [ Of course it's right, he's Hal Nine-Thousand and this is unfortunately old hat for him. Also unfortunate is that no one likes a know-it-all. Literally no one.
Then he gets to the most recent post and... um. WELL

Excuse him while he hangs up as fast as he possibly can without seeming startled. ]

[ OH. c: ]

Hal, how wonderful to hear from you! I trust you are adjusting to the situation admirably.

[ And he can't even pretend he is a different Hal, because he set it to video. Stupid, stupid move. ]

About as well as I apparently adjusted when I was trapped in your lab after you vanished from the station.

[ And by 'adjusted' he means 'slowly starved to death and eventually found his own body'. ]

I can hardly be blamed for the whims of the Rift, Hal. May I ask which temple you currently occupy?

[ And if Hal doesn't, as Prism assumes he won't, then he'll be hunting him down the good old-fashioned way. ]

Only for your own tendencies towards keeping hostages, I suppose.

[ Yeah... He ain't tellin' you shit, Prism. He even has his arms crossed and is all upset looking and everything. ]

You know just as well as I do that I was only keeping you for logical, practical purposes.

I imagine that is what you told yourself whenever I asked to be let out. I am, of course, assuming I asked. I wouldn't truly know, as I don't remember.

[He doesn't even seem bitter, but he's evidently looking around the temple if his feed is any indication. If Prism can even differentiate, it might be easy to tell it's the temple of Alpha Trion.]

[ Lucky for Hal, Prism has no idea what Alpha Trion's temple looks like or he'd already be on his way. Instead he can only map it to memory, taking note of any detail that might aid him in hunting Hal down. ]

Oh, did you die? How awful. I hope you did not lose too many of the wonderful memories we made together.

[Oh Prism. You bring out enough of Hal's irritation that he doesn't even bother to hide it. It's like Prism doesn't even care.

No one is surprised.]

Unfortunately, due to my current state, I was able to simply upload the memories from my dead body to my new one and decided that I would rather endure whatever had happened than to leave unnecessary blanks.

I must say that I thought such base urges were above you in your current state.
