This is gonna piss off Ross and I'm all for that, but even after all the shit that's gone down in the last six years I don't know how I'll explain this.

[The video had opened on what there is to be seen of a partially overcast sky between two of the taller buildings of Dualis before tilting down; obviously whoever's broadcasting is walking along the road, because the picture continues to move at a steady pace down what looks to be a slightly less metropolitan-city-ish shopping district. Part of the hand holding the phone is visible, but nothing else about the person speaking can be seen yet.]

And my limit of pissing him off got blown by about the time I woke up in cyberpunk Egypt, so I've got two questions for anyone with any kind of answer - how in the hell do we get home, and does anyone have some tools I can borrow so I can break some sensitive electronics?

[...yeah, that's all he's volunteering for now. Sorry about that.]

I'm noticing that. This area's pretty European-looking.

[Which he doesn't mind, because Europe is cool, but it's not Missouri. It's not home.]

Aliens, superheroes, mind control, registration lockdowns, a city turned into a meteor, megalomaniac possibly bi-polar robots, and some other stuff. After all that waking up somewhere like this isn't as much of a shock as it should be.

[It's not Gotham either, though it's a lot closer than the last place Tim found himself in. He raises his eyebrows curiously.]

Okay, that is a hell of a few years. Sounds a lot like some of the things that have happened back home where I'm from, though the details are definitely different. But aliens, superheroes, megalomaniac robots... If we're not from the same world, I think our worlds are pretty close neighbors.
