-- I see. You seem very aware of the situation. Are you also a survivor from the Taalus?
- I am a historian, Mr. Gregoire. And yes, I'm a survivor of what you call "Taalus".

- I know your time since I was born exactly... hmm... 126 years after you. I lived the "Big Flash", you know?
-- The "Big Flash"?

- Yeah, that famous day of December 2129, where 99% of the electronic systems of the planet were destroyed by the Oklahoma's electromagnetic wave.

- 2129! So this is when our civilization was devastated...
-- Devastated, no, not yet. But the decline started after that. You can't imagine all the consequences of this event.

-- Were you thrown here during this event?
- No, it happened a year later. I lived in Oklahoma and I had the bad idea to go see my parents' house. They lived near Lawton.
