You find yourself in what looks to be a dorm room... in the middle of a forest? A large falcon is leaning against one window, and you hear him saying... "Quantum computing is incredibly powerful, although often infeasible. But here..." He trails off and turns to you.

He seems a bit puzzled by your sudden appearance... until he notices the invitation you still have clutched in one hand.

"Ah, a fellow seeker of knowledge! Greetings and good fortune to you, my friend! I am Glazius Taladas Falconar, and this" - he gestures to the world around him - "is the planet of Mobius Prime. Home of the irreverently heroic Sonic Hedgehog and the maniacally brilliant Dr. Julian Robotnik... and a whole host of other characters I can't even begin to describe. Actually, I can, but that's a project for another time." He sighs. "There is so much mystery about this planet... like 'Nicole', Princess Sally's constant aid. She seems to go above and beyond current technology... but the real truth left me wondering if Mark had gone haywire." An angry twitter sounds from the falcon's belt. "Of course you didn't, Mark. It just seemed that way..."

"But I can see that you don't want to listen to me prattle on. What's more, I have some work to do. I can have Mark interface with the daemon who's guiding you, so that you can be properly shown around once you've begun exploring. Mark, activate Aerie interface module."

A computer trills nearby. "There. Now if you'd care to put the new guidebar up, assuming you can view frames, you can do so. Otherwise... begin exploring! I've left Mark with a few choice destinations elsewhere, and there are a few things to do here in my room as well. Mark, display holographic output, coded for Terran viewing."

A menu appears in mid-air, as the falcon launches himself away from his base.

• Glazius's Dormitory, Avis Prime - View the stories I've already written about this strange planet.
• Teleportation Coordinates - You know this already, but I'm not the only one to explore the mysteries of Sonic. Here are a few other places.
• Glazius's Journal - What sort of host would I be if I didn't welcome your comments?

The door you came through stands behind you, to return you to the Aerie.

The guardian daemon lets you know that there are other places...
