*Ed didn't seem to notice her reaction. He just snapped his fingers.*
"If only I could afford color film; you'd be a star!"
*He turned to Galileo.*
"2307?" *he echoed, his eyes wide.* "Tell me; have we made interstellar contact? Can we operate machinery with our minds? Is the Earth destroyed? Have the Morlocks taken over?"

"They don't call it Earth anymore. It's Planet Mall, natural habitat of the mindless and brainwashed."

*He blinked at her.*
"Zombies?"

"Pretty much."
*He scratched his head*
"Morlocks? What are those?"

*Ed was torn between a feeling of horror and the exciting possibilities such horror provided. Cinematically, that is.*
"It sounds awful," *he said, but the last word held a tinge of actual "awe."*
"Morlocks and Eloi; it's a story that posits that in the future, one race of humanity has split off and become the guardians and masters of the other half. Dystopia."

"Erm...well, not difference races, everybody is still human. Most are enslaved by Globalsoft's internet. But we took them down! So, the future won't be grim, I promise."
*He said this with all the conviction of a prophet*

*He had no idea what an internet was. Some sort of restraint system?*
"Good! Good to hear. Aliens?" *he asked hopefully.*

"Though maybe we were sent back here for a reason. Maybe we're supposed to stop Globalsoft from ever existing?"

"Aliens? I dunno. If there were, Globalsoft was probably hiding them."
*He turned to Scaramouche, raising one eyebrow at her*
"Really? I wonder who sent us? And...how do we even start?"

*Edward was overjoyed. Nothing like this had ever happened to him before; and what a movie it'd make!*
"I'll help!"

Scaramouche turned a vaguely despairing look toward Galileo. They seemed to have a habit of attracting overly enthusiastic "helpers".

"Er...well..."
*He whispered to Scaramouche, making sure Ed couldn't hear*
"He might be able to help. He'll know this place better than we will!"

"I'm very useful!" *he enthused.* "You know there are only two people in the world who do what I do; me, and Orson Welles."

*Galileo gave Ed a blank look*
"Orson Welles? Who is that?"

*Ed stared at him in horror.*
"Do you mean to tell me the guiding light of all moviedom is unknown, unrevered, in your time? I would hate to live in that kind of world. He wrote, directed and acted. In movies. Like me."
