I know, I know. When it comes to these guys, there's no telling what's actually on the inside.
[He half-expects it to be filled with their baby photos or something. But then as he opens, it...]
Hey, it actually says stuff.
[So that I can stop double-checking the old log:
Flipping through this book details the history of the city and the story of how the four founders traveled far to settle on Earth to create this city decades ago. The city was originally to be a safe haven, a central hub much like this subway station, until the Retrospec project could reform everything. However, the city became a home to the founders, the founding families, and others that were rescued throughout the galaxy who'd lost their planets. The book goes on to explain how Retrospec created their original headquarters in a bunker in the woods hidden from prying eyes so they could do their job with utmost secrecy. Retrospec was never to be looked into by ordinary people and the original company had less than 10 employees working for it.
There are several pages at the end of the book, too, but the text is illegible. Instead, in bold letters written in sharpie are the words "LET'S REWRITE HISTORY" and dated 2007.]
[Eleanor scans the pages as he flips through them, picking up bits and pieces here and there. When he's done, she took a step back, considering the book as a whole.]
So even the people doing all this aren't actually from here, are they...
[Now that's not a comforting thought. He scratches at his head with an uncertain frown.]
That's... that's a good question. I want to hope that it's theirs, but... It's anyone's guess at this point. [He's already starting to suspect the worst.]
I... I don't know. [He frowns as she brings that up.] We'll figure it out as we go along. But I doubt we'd have to... go back to those worlds or anything. [Or he hopes.]

This subway station, it says, used to be the way that travelers from other worlds would arrive to the city of Recollé and a way that they could leave to explore other parts of the planet at their leisure until the system was shut down sometime in the 1970s due to the collapsing of several tunnels.

[That was new information.]

I- I guess not! Man, it's pretty confusing stuff... totally bananas! [He has trouble making heads or tails of most of the things they learn.]

Let's rewrite history.
[She drew in a breath.]
Our history or theirs?

[Eleanor pulled out her phone and flipped back to the front of the book, starting to snap pictures of each page as she went through it.]
Maybe they think they can fix whatever 'ended' all those other worlds.

What does that mean for us though? If they're claiming they've 'rescued' us from them.

Come on, let's see what else we can find down here before I lose myself in this book.
[And off to explore!]
