[A serene-looking woman sits before the camera, cross-legged on one of the tiny couch-futon-hybrids they put in these apartments. Some people might recognize her from the other night, though she's currently not wearing the big hooded brown robe, but instead a cassock-like tan garment.]

I've met some of you other "Extraterritorial Guests" already, but for those I haven't, my name is Meetra Surik. I'm a traveler here, like we all seem to be, and I seem to have gotten even more lost than I thought I was - and I was heading somewhere with no real maps in the first place.

So, my request to the network is...tell me about Earth. We seem to be on Earth, and most of the people here seem to be from different "Earths"...which I guess could mean a kind of planet, but from context, it sounds more like multiversal theory turning out to be true. At any rate, I'm new to this planet, so please, tell me all about it. In return, I'll share what I can say about the Galactic Republic, where I'm from. Deal?

That doesn't sound nearly as sensible as a galactic empire.

Mind if I go first? As I understood physics, there's no way around the light speed barrier. But you must have figured out a way, or there's no way you could hold any kind of galactic government together.

So how'd you do it?

Uh... it's big, and round, and it's got a lotta oceans, and... darn it, I knew I should've studied harder in geography.

There's a lot to be said for Earth, you know. It's a big place with a lot of history. Perhaps it would be easier if you focused on one or two things at a time in order to build up the big picture.

I'm from the 21st Century, for what it's worth.

Regular school life.

[His life is pretty normal. Oh wait, he forgot that his school has some weird system.]

... And ESB system.

My Earth is dead. It's complicated.

And the multiverse theory? Completely true.
