I don't think this is Oska at all--they're either caught up in a dream or a memory, or perhaps a dreamscape based on someone's (a senior ALASTAIR agent's?) memory. Maybe from before Oska became a 'hub'/other universes were discovered? From the settings page: "Since the discovery of other universes, most inhabitants of Oska have cleared out, only a small group of people remaining." Are they reliving that moment of space-time continuum ripping? Hence the huge weirdness with things disappearing, ice in the lake, volcano where there is none, etc.
Alternatively: this is an alternate timeline where Oska goes to shit. Maybe ALASTAIR has some rivals on the 'time police' scene?
