Firstly, do calm down. Your hysterics are helping no one, least of all yourself, when the answers to your questions are mostly within this book.

Now, loathe as I am to be the messenger of these things to you, there are several important facts that you will need to know, once you have accepted the truth of the situation that we have found ourselves in at this time. We have time-traveled. We are unable to leave this place. We are surrounded by individuals who hail from every time, from before our own times to long after our times, and that situation supported by the fact that I myself am from over twenty years in your future.

Once you have accepted this as a possibility, no matter how unlikely it appears, I will tell you those things from my time you need to know.
