[The Xtransceiver screen flickers to life, revealing a very confused-looking Thomas. He is wearing his fancy Victorian coat over a modern outfit and a baseball cap whose brim he fiddles with self-conciously. He still isn't used to the hat and is worried he looks ridiculous, which he does, kind of. When the screen turns on he blinks and brings his hand down.]

Oh, hello. I've turned it on. At least I think? Hmm...

[He taps his finger on the screen, causing the audio to thump loudly. The camera shifts as Thomas's arm gets pulled downward by a Teddiursa, its two arms hooked around Thomas's elbow. Its face comes on screen and it grins mischievously. Thomas shakes his arm and dislodges the cub.] Stop that, Dodger! [The camera rights itself, focusing back on Thomas's face. Blue skies and a tree are in the background, and not much else. Thomas squints at the screen.]

Oh, I do hope I've done this correctly. I think I'm talking to the people who were at the Entralink? Anyway. Hello. Miss McBride and I have been travelling together since we left the Entralink and are now on our way to... what was it? Um. Accumula Town. We are on Route 1 now, although hopefully not for much longer, ha ha. Perhaps some of you will be in Accumula Town, also? Mr. Engarde, Sir Meta Knight, Mr. Emmet, Mr. N? And anyone I did not meet, of course.

[He pauses, looking away from the screen thoughtfully.]

I am just making assumptions, now, but I think it may be important for us to keep in touch with one another. We don't come from this world, after all, and that makes us the same. [A weak laugh. He is remembering the odd appearances of some of the people he saw in the Entralink.] Well, we are the same in one aspect, anyway. We do not belong here. At least, I do not think so. Do you? [A persistent noise comes from off-screen. Ursa, ursa! Thomas looks towards it.] What is it? I fed you already...
