â€œYou don't have to thank me.â€  Karr insisted, but he still ducked his head in pleased embarrassment.  â€œI mean, technically, it's my fault that you're in this mess.  Sort of.  That is, you would have been in it sooner or later, but you wouldn't have been jumped right off the bat like that, if not for me...â€<br/><br/>Balking a little, he fumbled on.  â€œWhat I guess I'm trying to say, isâ€”they were a little more keen on finding me than you.  I've been helping your uncle for a while now and it was only a matter of time before they found the location of the door.â€<br/><br/>â€œTo answer your other questions... Yes, the technology you're talking about was originally created in this world.  I think Edison believed he could right the wrongs made by society here back in your....world.  Whatever you call it.â€  He smiled half-heartedly.  â€œI hope he was right.â€<br/><br/>â€œOh, he is an inventor... most of those things he didn't create all by himself, though. The technology hereâ€”he saidâ€”is more advanced, so he was able to apply a lot of his own theories and create things that he'd only dreamed about in your world.  But there were others who helped him, and when they found out what was happening.... they weren't happy.â€<br/><br/>â€œI am curious, too, if he wanted you to come here.  He's never brought anyone else in before, or taken anyone back out.  Didn't he leave you any instructions or notes....anything?â€
