There's always a lighthouse

[wheremst]

And just like that, you wake up in the basement of a lighthouse in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. There's a circle of 25 pods in the middle of the room, and two more in a room off to the side, and you can imagine who is in which.

An elevator to the side of the room leads up to the ground floor (or to the first sub-basement, if you want to check out the machine that brought you here), where you can for the first time in weeks look out a window and see the sky. Its a beautiful sunny day, with a strong breeze on the grassy ground of the island where the lighthouse stands. Have you ever been this happy to hear seagulls?

You're free. Whatever comes next, you're free and you won. Take some time to relish your victory, won't you? Reunite with friends you thought you had lost, go forth and just... well, enjoy this.

...I suppose I ought to thank you for the axe.

[Wow, real live character development.]

So this is that teleportation machine, I presume?

[wickedskills]

Actually, this is a phone.

[Player, stop being a little shit for a moment-]

But that big scary machine over there is what brought you here, and I'm positive it can take you back.

I know what a telephone is. Just because I prefer magic to technology doesn't mean I know nothing about it.

[grumble]

And you all know how to operate the thing?

[wickedskills]

We're figuring that out right now! I've been working to figure out how this machine works since I first discovered it exists. But with some blueprints, and maybe a few helping hands, I should be able to get it going no sweat!

I see. ...So does it work that one can go anywhere as long as one's gone somewhere, or only to the places you've already been?
