This question and answer session was obviously hastily-planned. Ruana isn't here, but the others are, though for the most part they don't look quite at their best. Zo looks half asleep and distracted, having slid his chair close enough to the wall that he can lean on it to catch a bit of extra sleep in the middle of this session. Jason, usually improbably neat for his often messy, bloody profession looks wrinkled and tired, like he's been spending one too many nights in surgery. Dax looks entirely exhausted, and every time the lights in the cafeteria flicker that exhaustion only seems to grow worse as he looks more concerned. Only Riki seems himself--but then again, he's always been stoic and silent, so reading him in general is a difficult task. It's Dax who speaks once enough people are assembled.

"Greetings, residents--I'm sure you know the four of us by now. And guests, welcome--you probably don't know of us. I'm Dax, and these are Riki, Jason, and Zo." Dax gestures to each one in turn. "We are four of the administrators of this Tower. As you may have guessed, we weren't exactly planning on visitors, and you weren't brought through the same channels. Still, we thought this would be a good time to answer a few questions. With the network--down--we have opted to speak to you in person."

"If you try to attack us, you'll regret it," Jason says from his seat, and while Dax looks sidelong at him neither man can seem to muster the energy for a proper verbal sparring.

"Okay, the floor is open to questions," Dax says, just barely managing a smile. "We will answer what we can."

"What about if the person could move through dimensions?" Considering a being similar to Nyarlathotep had brought them here, it stood to reason he could do the same.

"Would they be able to go to another even after returning to their ruined one?"

"Generally, the places a world is connected to in such a manner are also destroyed," Dax said, "but that doesn't rule out the possibility completely."

"So, and I'm speaking theoretically here, it would be possible for someone to be sent home and then either pulled to or jump to another still-inhabited dimension?"

Because if that was the case, then she had a theory as to why Philemon would think Nyarly was here:

"Would it be possible for someone to jump back here of their own accord?"

"You've seen that people can make the jump here as of this month," Dax said. "I believe it would be theoretically possible if the person in question were powerful enough."
