[Yes. Jake only likes him for his boar jerky.]

It's a little more complicated than that. Jake and Jane's meteors were sent to the same year in Earth's history as the meteors of players from your sessions. Me and Roxy's meteors, however, were arrived four hundred years after that. Our kernelsprites never prototyped, so the stalemate never broke and Skaia remained in its stagnant form. As a result, there was no Reckoning, and the eight meteors for us and our guardians were the only ones sent.

Unfortunately, the Condesce had made the switch from your universe to ours before then and had already begun to sow the seeds for her takeover of humanity. A series of simultaneously absurd and horrific events, orchestrated by her battery fork, led to the collapse of human civilization. She then took over and wiped out humanity through cullings, genetic experimentation, and her flooding of the planet in an effort to recreate Alternia. It was that post-apocalyptic waterworld that Roxy and I arrived in, with not a human or even Kevin Costner in sight.
