[Brainy's eyes light up at the prospect of talking to someone else with similar expertise. Donatello might find him slightly less jerky. Slightly. But Brainy generally has more patience with fellow scientists and engineers.]

Our threshold gates work by accessing D-space, the space between universes. Typically, rather than using them to travel to alternate worlds we simply use that brief access to D-space as a shortcut for transportation to other areas in our own universe.

Theoretically, we could use the threshold gates to transport individuals through D-space to alternate dimensions, but we're limited by two...complications. One, discerning the correct navigational data to send you all to the proper universe to get you home, and two, unbinding you from this universe.

You're not the first group to be displaced to this universe. Before you, there was a group of Legionnaires from nearby alternate realities that was pulled here. They were, quite fortunately, rescued by a UP survey team that happened to be on the planet and after we...liberated them from the UP facility they were being kept at against their will, we started to study the dimensional rift on the planet and arranged for a permanent station in orbit to transport down and rescue any other individuals that might wind up dimensionally displaced there as well.

[Since, you know, they'd die if they weren't rescued because of the world's hostile conditions. They couldn't trust that it was a one-time thing, and sure enough, more people started falling through.]

We found with the last group that they were tethered to this universe on a quantum level. However, they were also be tethered to their home universes and that seemed to have a stronger pull. We believe that that's why they were all pulled back to their home realities before you arrived here.

My working theory is that the alternate Legionnaires were pulled by whatever being or force behind these abductions from universes far too close to this one for them to be tethered here for long. You, on the other hand, may have possibly been pulled from universes so far away that the bonds that could potentially pull you home have been severely weakened, making it so the artificial quantum ties created by whatever's responsible for your abduction overrule the forces that could potentially pull you back where you belong.

Discerning the coordinates to your home universes and altering the threshold gates to allow for interdimensional travel will be difficult but it's certainly within the realm of possibility. However, we have to find a way to sever the bonds that hold you to this universe on a quantum level before we can send you home and that's what is presenting some...difficulty.

[There, he admits it. He admits he can't figure out a thing. Ugh.]
