a finer world, part 3 ( video )
[ Today he’s addressing the network from the cloud mottled skies above Nonah once again. It's a sunny day and the big guy is catching some rays, as he is wont to do, from beyond the clouds. ]
For those who don't know me, hi. My name's Apollo.
[ He raises a hand in a brief hello, sunlight haloed around him as he holds the camera aloft with the other. Apollo stares thoughtfully past it, squinting out at the sky beyond. ]
With all the incursions from other universes that have been happening lately I thought it about time to share what I know about things spilling out into different universes. I'm not sure how helpful all this will be, but if it inspires anyone else to talk about their experiences of interdimensional rifts, or if some quantum something-or-other scientist out there can use this info, then... I guess this will be worth it.
[ 'Quantum something-or-other scientist'. Because Apollo clearly isn't scientifically minded. Like, at all. ]
So given where we are, I guess we're all familiar with alternate universes, right? In my world we called the space between dimensions the Bleed. It's the barrier around this universe and every other universe that we've all come from. The artery wall between parallel dimensions. And yes, it's red, so I guess that's why they called it that. No points for creativity there.
Sometimes rifts can be made in the Bleed - doors, holes, fractures, whatever you want to call it. People, monsters, entire armies can travel through these rifts. Once, an alternate England sent an invading fleet of airships through a shiftdoor to attack our Earth. Another time, the Atlantic ocean from Alternate 995 came through a fracture, right into Johannesberg. [ Apollo's usually sunny expression darkens at the memory. ] You can imagine what that was like.
But none of these rifts were ever natural or accidental, all of them were due to something or someone opening up Doors in the Bleed itself. Normally by madmen, or bastards, or sometimes by mad bastards. Creating these rifts involved either advanced interdimensional shiftship technology or vast amounts of post-human power - I'm talking reality warping on a quantum level. Our shiftship was powered by a caged baby universe - that's the kind of power you need to travel through the Bleed.
[ And if anyone expects him to explain that last bit then good fucking luck, because Apollo doesn't understand it himself. ]
I'm not saying this is what's happening here, but this is my experience of 'crazy shit falling out of other dimensions'. As someone who's been through a hell of a lot of alternate universes, I know that there will be more variations on this theme than you can shake a very long stick at. So if anyone else has got any other insights on monsters-falling-through-rifts-in-time-and-space, then here's your chance to speak up. Maybe we can all compare notes or something.
