Uh. Hello. Since everyone's sort of introducing themselves and we're all stuck here, I thought I should probably... also do that.

I'm Rory Williams, I'm from Earth and I'm a nurse. Was a nurse. [ Technically never was one, also I'm a security guard on the lookout for threats these days more than anything. Ha. No. Way too much to get into. ] I mean, it's a little complicated. But I'm definitely still qualified and I'm always awake, so. If anybody needed a nurse for... some reason. I'll be around.

[ Annnnnd so tempted to ask, so tempted. Ever that should I/shouldn't I dilemma, only it's not a very big one, he's asking anyway. ] Sorry, really need to clarify something. The universe isn't ending right now, right? You can't exactly fly a ship through something that doesn't exist, so I've kind of been assuming it's all clear. Just for the record. Um. Thank you.

[ you are- so. strange. what does he do with you. ]

You appear remarkably composed regarding this information, given your introductory question.

Well, you know, I was pretty sure space in the future wasn't exactly around to travel to anymore. It's kind of nice to get proved wrong.

May I inquire after the circumstances thereof?

video; sorry about that delay!

Oh, uh. Yeah. Sure. [ You have had so much time to get better at these things, Rory, come on. ] The basic idea is, a spaceship is exploding. Which probably wouldn't be ending the universe if it were a regular ship, right. It's also a time machine. So it sort of... cracked the universe and started destroying everything, everywhere, every... time. No stars or other planets or anything, just Earth left over right in the middle of it for now. It's actually lasted a pretty long time, I think that's a good sign.
