[Is it possibly for a mental voice to sound giddy? Because there's a distinct giddy tinge to By's thoughts, for all that his words come out with his normal, lazy, lightly Russian-accented drawl.]
Byerly Vorrutyer here. We're on Earth, pre-spaceflight, although someone who isn't me will need to get a better read on the actual date and location. Linguistically, it's a hodgepodge. I can hear archaic Russian, a whole host of Asiatic and Romance languages, and something else I can't quite place.
If you can "hear" this, check in. We need to know who we've got to work with.

If I do not miss my guess, I believe some of the architecture to be Venetian in origin. Glancing to the earth below, the canals seem vaguely familiar as the aforementioned city.
The largest difference seems to be the Eastern influence in the languages and the city. The European countries and cultures seem to have very little to no hold. I have heard many languages I am aware of, but precious little English, other than how I hear the common language of this place, whatever it is. If I do not miss my guess, the Eastern powers, Indian and... Arabian perhaps, seem to be the dominant ones.

Earth history isn't my speciality... but you're right, that does sound odd. An alternate timeline, perhaps?
Venice does make sense. We ought to see if that Italian fellow is with us.

I do not know if my knowledge of the time period and its manners would be helpful or not, as things seem so different, but I am more than willing to help if anyone needs it.
