A space. A place. A place. Infinite. Endless. As far as the eye can see, row on row of shelves. On every shelf, side by side. Boxes. Within each box, a puzzle, a person, a universe.

Endless worlds of the imagination all hail.

Hi, I'm Connor Beattie.

I'm part of the panel.

I'm Brewster Alfred.

I'll be serving as the panel chair.

An honor to meet you, sir.

Anyway, this gives us both more Q&A time.

Oh, okay.
