Rather than hear the voice of the Executor as they had the previous three times they had been transported across the multiverse, the five remaining contestants heard an unfamiliar, nervous voice greet them. "Ahem, this is a pre-recorded message, if you are hearing this, then my machine has taken you from your location and is bringing you to my homeworld. I apologize for this hasty and unannounced retrieval, and I hope that, if you find me, you forgive me, forgive me for my foolishness and my stubbornness and my damned desire to create this wretched machine."
There is a silence before the voice continues. "I do not know what state my world will be in when you get here, but I will say this, at the time of this recording, there are outages of power and communications everywhere, destruction has spread to even my beloved home town, and I fear for our future. Despite this, I've noticed that this machine is still powered, still active, and that I can't do anything about it. All I can do is pray that you get this message and that you find a way to set things right, or at least find a way to stop this from happening anywhere else. Please. I beg of you, even if you don't save my home, don't let what happened here happen anywhere else."
There is another silence, then tears before the transmission cuts to static. The static grows louder and louder before there is a flash, and suddenly the five contestants find themselves in a new location. The skies are dark, the land is unkempt, and it feels as if there is something lurking, hiding in the dark...
