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?

[ex_whoosh450]

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

Are they sure that the reversal process is stable?

[notwalking]

Let's go.

[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.

When?

[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.

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]

Apparently a significant portion of the credit for this discovery goes to chance. They were attempting to more accurately pinpoint people in their respective timelines so as not to force those who have passed in their worlds at a later date to, say, go through recovering from wounds that would have killed them, etc. It was while in the process of researching this that they realized the ability to make that level of contact with the other side that would allow them to also return people who did not wish to be here. I can't give you any more information than that in this forum, but they do encourage those who are concerned with this issue to also go to the main building where they will be able to give you something more in depth.

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.

[morelier]

You don't believe it?

[ex_whoosh450]

I'm sorry you feel that your life here has been comparable. But I think this action proves unequivocally that this was never the intent, Miss Lehane.

[lickthatdevil.livejournal.com]

were you born a skeptic, babe?

[disparages]

Actually, I'm okay here.

[magicbone]

seconded.

[qinglongweiji.livejournal.com]

How very interesting.

[ex_whoosh450]

In a good way, I hope.

[postits]

I thought so, too.

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

Ah! Really? Petrelli-san, you didn't mention anything like this to me!

[ex_whoosh450]

I apologize, Miss Natsume, they asked that I not get anyone's hopes up if their developments didn't pan out in the end.

I certainly don't intend to pressure you at all, but I'll admit I hope this doesn't mean I'll have to find a replacement for you.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

So, what'd you do to achieve that?

[ex_whoosh450]

I may be a man of many talents, but I will freely admit that I had nothing to do with the development of this technology and have only a cursory knowledge of it, which I'm sure will be unsatisfying to your intellect. All of your questions regarding that can be answered at the main building.

[tomimic.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised you didn't tell me, Nathan, but I'm sure you wanted it to be a surprise.

I don't like what I've heard about there, though. I think I'd like to stay here.

[ Filter: Peter ]

[ex_whoosh450]

I'm glad you understand. I didn't like keeping secrets from you, but they asked that I not. I'd like for them to have a reason to trust me with information like this.

I think we're on the same page, Pete. Besides, the people here need our help and protection.

[spenstar.livejournal.com]

Oh, come on.

[plentyofnerve.livejournal.com]

I agree. I hope somebody works it out soon, though I do think it's rather tasteless.
