I have some important news, and I know this is something many among you have been hoping for. It's not an uncommon occurrence that when one is pulled through the portal into Babylon, not only does a person suffer confusion at the displacement, distress at the revelation that their life as they have known it is a fabrication designed for entertainment purposes, and sadness for the loved ones they have left behind; but there is also an overwhelming sense that they have left business unfinished in the world from whence they came.

I've felt very privileged that our government has thus far so willingly entrusted me with handling their communication with the formerly fictional residents of this dome, and even more so that I am now being asked to deliver this news to you.

The scientists of Babylon have recently made improvements on the process that brings people into this world, but they have also taken the concerns of you, valued citizen, into account and treated them with the gravity they deserve. From this day forth any person who wishes to return to their world may do so, thanks to the round-the-clock efforts of Babylon's specialists in the advancement of portal technology.

For further information, please refer yourselves to the front desk in the main government building. Obviously this is going to be an ongoing process, and we ask for your patience regarding any waiting that may occur in order to make it as streamlined as possible. Thank you.

Government involvement does something correctly, who knew?

Are they sure that the reversal process is stable?

[notwalking]

Let's go.

When?

[ex_whoosh450]

I did have the same question myself. The process has been thoroughly tested with proper scientific procedures, including test subjects; certain characters were brought through, returned, then brought back again. Sometimes they were earlier incarnations, but if they were able to pull them from a point past the timeline from which they were originally taken, they did recognize this world. Officials assure me that they would not make this available to the public were the technology unstable. Please, don't hesitate to take advantage of it, Ludluck.

What about those of us who died in those worlds? What research has been done there to ensure we don't leave and cease existing again?

[ex_whoosh450]

It happens more often than the government is usually given credit for.

Pack a bag. Nothing that needs electricity.

[captnkennit.livejournal.com]

Right.

[notwalking]

Two steps ahead of you. I'm coming over now.

[notwalking]

Good job finally doing something right, I guess.

[deliberately]

You actually want to go back?

[notwalking]

Not our world, slick.

[ex_whoosh450]

As soon as government offices open at 8 o'clock. I'll just reiterate that patience will go a long way. Literally, in this case.

I could not possibly beg to differ with you more, Nate, but so not the point. Whatever gets me back to Sacred Heart. Which I never ever ever eeeeever thought I would say, but there you go.

[repent]

Sure, people who want an army of babies are gonna let us just walk like that. From what I remember, that's not how prison works.

[deliberately]

What's that supposed to mean? If you're not going back to Welton, where'd you go?

[morelier]

You don't believe it?

[deliberately]

Don't tell me you'd really

[deliberately]

Jesus, Charlie.

[disparages]

Actually, I'm okay here.

[notwalking]

Nuwanda.

[notwalking]

Anyway, it's been fun.

[magicbone]

seconded.

What kind of moron do you think I am? I'm not saying they haven't got the portal to do some fancy new tricks, but can you really imagine just letting us all waltz on out of here? After the amount of money they poured into getting us all comfy?
