[The camera cuts in on Mike, hands on the wheel and foot on the gas. It's kind of loud in here, too! Which, if you look at the merrily neon-green holo-speedometer, is because he's coasting along at 250 miles per gatdamn hour.]

Okay, so half an hour into total barren wasteland and the Duke pulling some wacko "Mike Chilton versus Aliens on the Moon" prank is looking way less likely. Which means I ammmmm... on another planet, talking to whoever's on the other end of this Link thing.

Right. I have no idea how I managed to fall through dimensions in the middle of the night. That is... kind of a new one for me. Anybody out there in radioland want to give me some layman's term answers? The welcoming party here was kind of chilly.

I really hope you guys have gas here. Getting Mutt here down the mountain was kinda rough drivi--

I can't tell you how many there are, but there's a lot. Some of us come from the same ones, but I'm guessing there's at least twenty or thirty that have been affected by - well, did you see that white line in the sky? That's supposed to be what's caused all of this.

Well, okay. Most of it.

Right. The... what's it called, rift, right?

[He snorts.] I can't even tell what's normal for this place. What exactly is 'all of this', just us drop-ins?

[deusexraf]

'Lambda'. I'm still trying to figure out why they chose that term. And yeah, it's...pretty much responsible for us here, except for the Firstforged and what they've built themselves.
