To our recent additions,
Welcome to the Hinterwelt Colony!
As mentioned in your verbal briefing, you have been brought here due to a temporal energy abnormality dwelling inside of you. To remain in your universe would be a danger to both yourself and your home. For this reason, we have taken you into our energy-locked colony to ensure the safety of everyone, including yourself.
Dorm housing and standard meals are included, free of charge, as payment for the data we will gather during your stay with us. Additional amenities may be purchased with the horned dollar-- a credit system earned by those working within the city. Horned dollars are also paid to those who participate in our Wild Energy Extraction Duties, as “Gardeners.” Please note that Gard Duty is handled independently of city employment; they do not interfere with one another, should you choose to pursue both.
Our Wild Energy Extraction Duties seek out and protect all universes from energy abnormalities, preventing galactic meltdowns. Your involvement, while optional, is vital to our goals of intergalactic stability. Plus, it provides the opportunity to see your home, friends, and family again! Just remember, we can only keep you there for so long before we pull you back. We wouldn’t want to hurt anyone, after all. :)
Good luck out there, and remember: each one of us has a duty to contribute, in the name of science!
- Your Captain, Sei!
