SO YOU'RE AN X-CLASS AKUDAMA
[Eventually, you will find yourselves in the only place that is really big enough to hold all of you: the basement. And there, the glitches that have been plaguing you off and on all day stop. Perhaps they're simply outdone by the tacky Matrix lighting all over the place. The early birds see a shuffling white coat from behind the desk in the back; for all the size of the glasses on this woman's face, she picks you out in the darkness immediately.]
Oh boy, it's almost time to start the presentation! "Akudama", Akudama...
[She's pacing nervously, not engaging much with the others, until 6:45 PM, at which point she gets up and starts a terrible PowerPoint type of presentation projected on the wall.]
So, hiiiiii. I'm the Physicist, uh, former X-Class Akudama renowned throughout Kansai, and I'll be taking care of you here at the WS Research Hospital. Don't worry, I have doctorates in other things too. [Next slide.] And here's the layout upstairs for the rooms where you'll be staying—you'll find out which one is yours when my friend the Zealot brings in the seals and smartphones. Treatment is expected to take six weeks, and while accepting our therapies is completely opt-in, we will provide you with a little local currency in compensation for your participation in the experimental research. Then you'll be anchored in this reality, and that's one step closer to getting back towards your original dimension in one piece! And, oh, yeah, I know it's really tempting, but please don't kill each other just so killing an X-Class Akudama and living to tell the tale gets you to travel back in time and fix your greatest mistake, or something like that.
Any questions?

Enjoy it while it lasts.
[ He'll chuckle; he doesn't believe that, of course. He's sure the answer is bullshit.
Unlike the Zealot he's uninterested in separating her head from her shoulders just in case he wants to get anything else from her. For now.
He's disinclined to listen to the need for those experiments either, for the record, but he'll turn away, walking towards the outer edges of the group to listen in on conversations before he decides to leave. ]
