*There's a strange flash of light... and a huddled trio of people appear in the hallway outside Alam's lab*

???: ... it worked ???: It Actually Worked ???: That... how? I thought we were trapped... ???: do you think he got out too? ???: Must Have, If We Did ???: Why is he not here, then? ???: got seperated, somehow? ???: Time Can Be Tricky ???: Youre right - maybe he arrived earlier, or will arrive later ???: i hope he's okay ???: Me Too ???: ... So now what? I never thought we would get this far. ???: i don't know. i just... don't know ???: We Could... Try And Find Someone, See What Timeline We Arrived In? ???: And if they do not react well to our arrival? ???: then we run ???: Or Fight ???: ... That sounds like a plan. ???: yeah ???: So... Where Do We Go? ???: Nowhere we can go but up ???: yeah... it'll be weird seeing the sun again after all this time ???: Agreed. ???: Absolutely. Never thought we would see it again. ???: so... together? ???: Until The End Of Time ???: Which will hopefully be a lot further away in this reality ???: yeah... well. no time like the present

*The trio begin to walk, towards the stairs. Feels like they've been down here a long, long time. As they move, they stay close together, as if the thought of breaking contact with each other is horrifying to them... there's a haunted look to all of them. Like they've seen something worse than death and escaped. But it didn't leave them without scars. *

[There's someone familiar to the disaster trio near them... However, she doesn't seem to notice them. Will they interact?]

TURTIE: huh... KIKI: Is That...? ALLIE: I think so. But she is older... TURTIE: does time move different between this timeline and that one? KIKI: Who Knows? ALLIE: I do not, that is for sure.

*The trio idly consider heading over to her... with how dormant they were, she may not remember them. They weren't very... present in the last while... well, may as well try, right?*

TURTIE: uh... hey! miranda, is that you?

Epiales meanders through the halls of OSHA, hoping to bump into Kishar. And, in a sense, he does. He finds himself face to face with a Kishar, some other person he doesn't know, and the man he has spent his entire adult life hunting for.

*The three of them seem to huddle together a little more. They don't quite know him, though there's a spark of almost-recognition in the back of Kishar's head. They're clearly not the same Kishar Epiales has interacted with in the past, and the three of them seem... connected somehow. And it's clearly naturally-made, not forced or even on purpose. The Kishar stands in front of the other two, defensively*

UK: Who Are You? You Seem... Familiar.
