[Have a new face, Haven – or most of one. Engineer hasn't bothered to take any of his gear off, so there's only so much to see: his eyes are covered by his goggles and a yellow construction helmet sits on his head. He clears his throat before addressing his potential audience, clearly a little uncertain about the Link device he's been given, but definitely intrigued by it. They don't have video communication quite this fancy back where (and when) he's from.]

I suppose the polite thing to do would be to introduce myself before I start asking questions. Name's Dell Conagher, though people tend to call me Engineer these days. I'll answer to either.

Now then, if it ain't too much trouble, I could use a little assistance and some information. I'm a reasonable man, but I'm also a rational one. I got the introductory speech from these here – uh, Acolytes, I think it was – and while it isn't the craziest thing I've ever heard, it's in the running. If I'm expected to believe I'm on another planet, I need a bit more of an explanation than these walking answering machines can provide. Heck, if I had to make a guess based on the level of technology I'm seeing here, I'd guess I'm in Australia. [Australia, of course, being a technological powerhouse in his reality. He pauses, turning to one of the Acolytes that's still hovering nearby in case the new arrival would like to hear its pre-programmed spiel again, and raps his knuckles against its ankle. Its only reaction is to cock its head to one side.] I know we ain't got anything quite this fancy back home, at any rate.

I'd be mighty thankful if someone could point me in the direction of the nearest cafeteria, while I'm making requests. I get the feeling I might be here a while and that half a sandwich I had for lunch won't keep me going forever.

Oh, and I believe I owe some fella by the name of Solus Prime a thank you for this here device? [A finger reaches out and taps the edge of the screen to indicate the Link device in his hand.] Sure is a neat little welcome package.

I'm primarily interested in how exactly I went from where I was to here, which may not even be in the same galaxy, for all I know.

[He pauses. He really does want to know how that happened, but Jetfire is also, apparently, familiar with the ins and outs of space travel. Engineer can't possibly resist an offer like that.]

Not that I wouldn't also be interested in anything you can tell me about your methods of interstellar travel, but from my understanding that isn't what's at play here. One topic at a time.

Indeed it's not. [He smiles, slightly dry and then shrugs.] But for that... While there was no proof prior to the... ah, relocation here for the theory of an existant multiverse, it clearly has been proven now, so, simply put; each individual reality isn't infinite, expanding or not. Outside that space, we can with some reasonable evidence say there are other realities, all of them slightly removed from each other.

[Optics narrowing and dimming slightly in thought, Jetfire gives a brief gesture upwards.]

When you get the chance to go outside, you'll see an anomaly in the sky. It continually deposits the items you'll find in the center of the Haven, and, however unlikely it would seem, us.

I would assume it's a time-space anomaly similar to transwarp, which is has enough energy to pierce normal reality in two chosen locations - our current form of quick space travel, the difference to the Lambda being that it's a disturbance that affects time-space on an interdimensional plane instead of being kept to a single plane and reality.

[A shrug.]

As to how any of us got pulled through, there's supposedly an entity behind the creation of the Lambda that would be responsible, but even if not, with the Lambda reacting with various realities, if you were close to a location where the energy broke through into your reality, you'd either be pulled through or have been pulled apart.
