[ There's a petite woman looking at the camera slightly unsure, because this is weird. She thought changing the ring tone on her cell phone was too confusing to bother figuring out. Not that she'd actually really tried, and at least she had been given a tutorial on this machine. But she launches right into science and gains surety and excitement as she talks. ]

The, uh, local people said I should post my questions on here. I'm looking for information regarding physical properties of this world. Obviously the gravity is at least highly similar to that on Earth, but [ she holds up a device that's not got a whole lot of activity on the screen ] I need to do some minor calibrations to this in order to properly catch anomalies. And if I can properly study the anomalies then I can probably duplicate them in reverse to get back home.

[ Jane is really excited at this point. She takes a moment to catch herself and calm down with a tiny huff of laughter. She's well aware of how odd her excitement can be to strangers. ]

I'm Jane Foster, by the way. I study gravitational anomalies and wormholes and the like. Is there a university here somewhere? It would be nice to have a place to do research while I'm here.

[ Pause. Is this like a phone call or video question board or something? Are people listening live or what? Jane gives a tiny shrug. ]

Uh, thank you for your help?

[ For at least...twenty seconds, Jane was absolutely certain that she'd managed to teleport herself to wherever she is right now. Once she'd come to her senses and listened with a kind of detached interest to the -- kedan? is that what they were called? -- explain to her where she was, she'd realized that the situation was much different than she'd originally thought.

She'd turned on the computer and scrolled through, taking note that she's not the only newbie. She hunches over her black notebook with her arm curled protectively around the leather bound pages as she scribbles. She looks up briefly, makes sure the audio/video is on, then continues writing without missing a beat.

Weird and abnormal? Now totally a staple in Jane's life.

Kind of. ]

Just curious – on average, what’s the usual time frame people arrive and how many appear at any given time? Would anyone be willing to compare any notes they might have about this? I'm really interested in how this keeps happening.

[ Rosenbridges and all.

She pauses in her writing just long enough to introduce herself. ]

I'm Dr. Jane Foster, by the way. [ Her pen wavers and she frowns. ] We're not dead, right?
