[Today on the network, there is a man with long blue hair. Ordinarily a grouchy fellow, today he looks calm and thoughtful.]

...So. We're all told when we get here that we're needed in order to provide power for a world in crisis, a world that can't survive any other way. We're drawn here from many worlds, across time and space, for that purpose: in order to keep this world alive until such time as it can sustain itself.

My question to you is this: what does your world use as power? My world has a great tree which produces energy known as mana, upon which all things rely to live. And indeed, we've only recently managed to end a prolonged crisis regarding the death of that tree and the need to sprout a new one. The actions that we took in the interim, to keep our world alive, could only have been regarded as desperate.

Have any of you faced similar crises in your own homes? What happened, and if it has been resolved, how?

And one other thing.

[Here, he narrows his eyes, and his tone grows colder.]

Why haven't the maintainers of Saeng Seong asked you about it, to gain from any potential knowledge you might have, rather than merely using you as a battery?

Perhaps they should have sent emissaries to our worlds, to make their pleas known or bargain for the information needed to fix their problems. [ She lets that comment sink in as if in answer to his question. Her expression was kind at first but shifted to something more skeptical in nature as the pause came to an end. ]

I fear then, that if such an opportunity was available and they did not take it, that the problems of this world run deeper than that.

If they have the ability to travel between worlds, I don't see why they couldn't have tried. Surely they would have found enough willing volunteers sympathetic to their plight.

There may well be a reasonable explanation for their methods, but I would certainly like to hear it.

I can't speak for what technology they possess, but from the conversations I've had with them it appears that the method used to bring us here only works in one direction. It's less a matter that they won't travel to other worlds, but that they can't. [ Nanoha relaxes her expression somewhat. ] I don't mean to offer excuses for them. It's just my theory.

[cloakand_danger]

That doesn't fit, though. They can send people home - they've done it. And they can bring people here. The transportation does go both directions, so why can't they send themselves first, and then bring others here?

As nice as the thought is, there is nothing that proves that anyone leaves when they go missing for a time. In my past experience there was no such possibility. [ It's hard to talk about the subject and not be a total buzzkill. ]
