Hey, you good? At least you're on your feet now. Yeah, your crew had a bad case of time sickness getting back from the last mission— talk about cutting it close!
What's that? You don't remember where you are or why you're here? Don't worry, that's a typical side effect. It'll wear off in a minute or two... but hey, since you look so lost and confused, I guess I can explain while your memory catches up.
Time is... messier than most people realize. Everyone assumes it does its own thing, but it actually needs regular care and maintenance, like a garden getting overgrown. That's where the Archive comes in. We send people— like you— across time and space, to keep the timeline in check against outside interference. Sometimes that interference is innocuous, like when you had to chase down that guy in 1956 and explain that nope, sorry, you can't go back in time to meet Marilyn Monroe even if you're her "number one fan". Other times, it's someone malicious who's meddling with history— and when that's the case, it's almost always the Disjunction's fault. I guess you could say they're our foil. Their reach feels like it extends everywhere lately... maybe even within the Archive. There's rumors of a mole among us. I don't know if it holds true, but besides your own crew, it's hard to know who to trust.
Oh, where are we? A remote facility in New Mexico, nothing crazy. The more interesting part, as usual, is the when. Did you know that on April 26th of 2377, absolutely nothing of historical or material significance happened? We need sometime quiet and uneventful to have our headquarters, so when the clock strikes midnight we just rewind time in our building back to start of the day. Boy, that one was hard to find in our database when we were picking a timestamp because, you know, there's nothing there. But it's our home now, where agents return to the fold in between time travel missions, and all of us would defend it as fiercely as we fight to preserve the timeline. Well... most of us would, I guess.
It's all coming back to you now? Good, it's about time. I'll let you go now, but let me know if you find my Roman-era dagger lying around, would you? I got that from the time Julius Caesar— oh, you get the idea. Run along, you've got a new mission on your roster. You like the Jazz Age, right?
