| "Now, with no more delays, I shall endeavor to explain exactly who
is who....and what the bloody Hell is going on here," Walker finishes up,
accent thickening a little bit at the end.
With a few nods to proceed, that's exactly what Walker did.
Astra is gratified that Walker's accent grows less pronounced when she
begins to explain. When her accent thickened, it usually meant she was
a bit annoyed. If she REALLY got angry then she'd slip back into
the utter accent and slang she grew up with back in London Sector back
Home.
"Okay, I'll make it short and sweet because our new friends look ready
to buy their plot," the Empress of the Dwarven Nation says, "While as Champions
they won't....it's obvious that they aren't feeling too fine right now.
Regent Malachi had a similar problem when she did a small tour for
last years trade negotiations.
"First, in answer to Admiral Picard's question, the people who
are standing with the young man who looks like a cowboy from the old American
West come from the 'Dark Tower' series by Stephen King."
Picard, Kirk and the others just look blankly at Walker. There was no
Stephen King back from where they hale from and matters of Star Fleet administration
kept them from much recreational reading nowadays.
Yes, they were familiar with what the Military had told them about there
being a Dark Tower and about Rules and Agents, but that was different and
while the Net that Memory Prime was now connected to (as well as throughout
the entirety of the new Federation) one could perhaps learn all there was
to know about another universe......there was just so much information
that one could get information overload rather easily!
"Oh my God." Garabaldi, of the Babylon 5 group, whispered. He then quietly
explains the basics of the series to the still ignorant (though his knowledge
isn't complete, since his reality's Stephen King was struck down by a truck
during a jog before he could finish the book atfter Wizard and Glass.
"And now, before you ask, I happen to know about ya litle
arrival by email," she says to the Gunslinger's group, tapping a PDA she
had on her hip.

 After a quick
explanation of what "email" was, Walker gave a quick rundown of the players
before them....including herself and Tarin Gazin.
