Alternate Reality News Service
Futurismic has a highly entertaining faq excerpt from the Alternate Reality News Service:
9) What happens to ARNS reporters who materialize in alternate realities hostile to life?
They make employee of the month.
10) With, like, a plaque on the wall?
Don’t be so cynical. It’s a lovely plaque.
11) Do your correspondents ever bring back pieces of where they’ve been with them?
Oh, sure. It’s hard to get alternate reality out of leather.
