:I'm from another universe, likely with different fundamental laws of physics and not contiguous with this spatial metric at all.  I was in the crash of an aerial transportation device that almost certainly should have killed me, and found myself here instead.  I don't know how it happened - I wasn't expecting to come here - and Vanyel says it's unprecedented to him too.  So I never get to see any of my friends again, but on the plus side it looks like I can do far more good here than I could ever have dreamed of doing in my homeworld.  We know some things you don't, that should also work here - truths closer to mathematical ideals than local facts, or tricks that could take advantage of the apparent macroscopic similarity of physical laws.  It is not an exaggeration to say that this might be the most epochal event your world's economy has ever or will ever experience.  This event has larger metaphysical implications too, obviously, but I think we've all been tacitly agreeing to talk about that part later, and keep the current discussion more to Mindspeech how-tos and the issue between Valdemar and Karse.  Oh, and if that all sounds insane, a close look at my shirt ought to show that it was manufactured by techniques unfamiliar to you and which would obviously be in wide use if they were known here?  If that doesn't work I can prove some clearly important novel theorems.:
