['Daft base? You trying to say you've come from some kind of loony bin or something?'

The cop is clearly not joking when he asks this... But he doesn't wait for Yzak to answer anyway. Instead he tells him that if he wishes to plea insanity, he can wait and tell it to the judge. Right now, since the doctors have given them the all-clear, they're taking him down to the headquarters for further questioning.

Yzak can try to resist if he wants to! Presumably, one injured but highly trained coordinator vs a bunch of regular-ass 1800s beat cops is... Still going to be a pretty uneven match, with the odds against the cops?? But even if he does resist, they're still going to subdue him eventually. And then he'll just have even more charges to deal with.

Moving through the hospital and heading outside, the signs that he's found himself somewhere very much outside of his normal time period will keep mounting. Everyone around is dressed in an INCREDIBLY old-fashioned manner... There are very few electric lights around the hospital or any of the other buildings, with things mostly lit by gas lamps. The technology in general is just... not even close to what he's going to be used to seeing. AND MOST DAMNING OF ALL... When they go to transport him to the police station, they put him in a paddy wagon pulled by a duo of horses. In fact, all of the vehicles that Yzak can see... They're all horse powered. Yikes!

In the course of being booked and interrogated, he will at least be informed that he was found in the woods, passed out from his injuries, next to the corpse of a local sheep farmer. Investigation of the scene led the police to one conclusion: Yzak clearly crashed, stumbled out of his bizarre experimental machine, and for some reason decided to shoot the local farmer who came by to investigate the crash site. They're not entirely clear yet on his motive, but they did find a firearm on the ground at the scene, the muzzle of which was still faintly warm.

When they show him the gun, Yzak will see that it is, in fact, one of his own.]
