[Good morning, fellow abductees of the Tower. There is a cheerfully smiling man in a lab coat on the terminal feed now and there's nothing you can do about it! Well, okay, you could just walk away, but where's the fun in that? He gives the screen a little wave.]

Hello, hello! Done poking around our strange new prison yet? No? I guess you won't be through with that for awhile. Still, I failed to introduce myself before everyone set off!

[He had more important things to do than talk to all the little lost boys and girls, but now he doesn't!]

I am Lloyd Asplund, an engineer in the employ of the Britannian Empire. That's really all there is to that. Now on to something more fascinating! Our collars! [He taps his own, an orange one.] I did find myself a few tools, but it was all for naught! These have no obvious means of coming off. No seams, no screws, nothing. Makes you wonder how they managed to get them on in the first place, hmm? I suppose if we got our hands on a welding torch, that might be somewhat more effective, but you might not enjoy the process.

[because lol fire.]

They appear to be quite durable, as well, so you may be better off not trying anything drastic to break them. You'll just end up hurting yourselves~.

Who said anything about England?

And yes, I recall that. You broke the bed instead.

You did. Well I guess he used to call himself the British Empire or something but that was dumb.

These collars must be made of adimantium or something.

Do you mean the old islands? Oh no, we lost those to France quite some time ago. Britannia moved over to the Americas instead!

Adamantium? Excuse me, but I'm not familiar with that material.

...Wow, your universe must really suck, if I'm not in it. [DECISION MADE.]

It's a metal! Wolverine has it on his bones and stuff.

[DON'T MIND THIS LITTLE GIRL]

WOLVERINE IS A JERK!

You met him?

Ya huh and he tried to take me from my friends to send me to school!

Well you do kinda have to go to school. What were you doing?

you don't hafta go to school! Adults just make you!

Well if you don't go to school then you can't grow up and be president.

[Or... Something like that.]

I don't wanna be president I wanna be a superhero and I am one so it's okay!

But you could be president of superheroes. Well, if you went to school.

You don't need to be smart to be president of superheroes, just strong and I'm really strong!

Well maybe not way back, but now you have to go to college and stuff or no one will take you seriously.

No I just needta protect lotsa people!

What if it's one of those super villains who makes you do a lot of riddles and stuff to get to him?

Oh, I'm not sure about that. I quite enjoyed my timeline.

[Okay, now he's unsure.]

Is Wolverine a person, or do you mean the animal?

I'm not in it, so it's no good.

He's from a comic book! But this place has lots of different worlds, so it could all be real.

And why would you need to be in it for it to be good? You don't seem all that special.

Comic books? [Aah, he sees now.] That could be. There is a saying that everything is real somewhere.

Because I'm America!

You're... a landmass?

I'm a country.

You look decidedly human to me.

[Sigh.] Well I'm a personification.

Do you mean some sort of figurehead? Mascot?
