An office door opens and a young woman steps out. She strides briskly over to you.
"You woke up and came back," she says. She gives you a tight smile. "So we're refunding your money. It's our policy."
She drops a check in your hand.
"What happened in there?" you say. "What happened?"
She shrugs.
"Only you would know that. You must have done something to interrupt the transmission."
"And the rest of those people?"
She looks at her watch. "They're probably into their fifth year by now. The fifth year is typically a time of conflict. They rebel. Well, some of them do. They rearrange systems. They replace leaders. They promote new ideals."
"I had such a strong feeling I'd been there before."
She smiles. "Apparently it wasn't strong enough. You're back here."
"How do you do it?" you say.
"I'm sorry," she says. "That's proprietary information. Did you meet your family?"
"No," you say. "But I was in a cottage. It was...home."
She nods.
"If you hadn't escaped, you would have been subjected to much stronger bio-electric bonding pulses. Do you have a family here?"
You start to answer and realize you don't know.
