[Sam's put a lot of debate into this text. Like, a lot a lot. To the point of obsession, really. And there are a lot of ways she could go about doing this. But with only 140 characters and about thirty eight rewrites, she finally settles on blunt. It's her brand. Not like it ultimately matters, right? She's coming to terms with that.]

Well. I mean. If it's a contest, your world wins

[enterprisingheart]

I won't say it's perfect. That humanity doesn't still have its fault. But we're trying, at least. Trying to learn better, to be better.

[thegreatexperiment]

And that's the difference that makes all the difference

[enterprisingheart]

I don't know what things will be like if we ever manage to leave, but if you would prefer to not return to your own time...

[Temporal Investigations might try to read him the riot act for it, of course. But that doesn't mean it isn't worth it to make the offer all the same.]

[thegreatexperiment]

Oh, believe me. I've put a lot of thought into it

[enterprisingheart]

The offer's there, at least.

[The rest is, unfortunately, entirely on the shoulders of the Observers and the finer details of how they arrived in the first place.]
