There's a very popular question on the interstellar web:
"How badly can an interstellar observer's assignment go?"
Thanks for the question. I'm 3,000 years in the past, I've landed in the Mediterranean, and I'm not just here in spirit, either.
In three days, I was sold as a gladiator arena slave girl, and now I'm on my way to be bred.
I finally escaped, only to find out that the civilization I'm supposed to observe is the Han Dynasty, at the far western edge of Eurasia.
What the hell, are they expecting me to walk 10,000 kilometers back?
So what happened to the original poster in the end?
Thanks for asking. I'm in the Han Dynasty now. Everyone here is so talented and nice to talk to. I love it here.
