Scouting?

<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

You seem like an analytical sort of guy. I'm not hear throwing myself into your world's most dangerous places for fun, exactly. Nor did I come alone. We're trying to determine how ready your world might be to be exposed to the bigger picture.

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

The bigger picture of what?

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I mean, we stole it, so it would be kind of hypocritical to really oppose it.

<Snipped quote by Source>

*Your wrist is impaled by another sudden piece of me jutting outward, this time like a spike, and my wrist bends as unnaturally as you try and force it*

<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>

You impose your rules based on your reality on those from beyond your reality, and you'll quickly see you're dealing with more than you bargained for. Hope you have another trick up your sleeve.
*The hand is incinerated entirely upon entering my body, as the Brinkspace held within spirals outward and overcomes the reality behind me* Redefine absolution.

The bigger picture that you small lot are already aware of. Existence. Or, as those not experienced in the terminology of the interdimensional might call it, the omniverse.

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

I'm afraid many more than you believe are already aware. The Gateway is supposed to work by passing its cargo through a spatially-contracted section of Existence and back, shortening millions of light-years to a few meters. When my colleague broke it, the thread was severed, "leaking" anything it tried to transport into Existence. The people, though, may not be ready. I can already imagine the religious crises that would cause.

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Reels back seething, disappearing and reappearing a short distance away.*
Son of a bitch, ah fuck my hand.
*My hand slowly regenerates and a flex my new fingers.*
I should have known your as corrupt a being as I.

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Hng.
*Hops backward and slams my other hand against the crystal, causing mountainous force to cascade up and down in the direction orthogonal to my palms*

<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>

Corrupt would be inaccurate. Simply different.

<Snipped quote by Source>

And now, it's time to change the game.
*The crystal suddenly releases a condensed explosion focused between your eyes, seemingly out of nowhere*

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Twists into a backflip, using my free hand to continue the momentum and landing on my feet*

<Snipped quote by Source>

*The space you flip into distorts and tears violently in a confined region, collapsing in small, individual pockets*

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*When my foot hits the ground, spires of earth shoot above me and occupy the space in the pockets; any material left unaffected is converted into pure energy and shoots toward you*

<Snipped quote by Source>

*The space you flip into distorts and tears violently in a confined region, collapsing in small, individual pockets*

<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

Well, there is a little more to it than that. I represent the largest known nation in Existence, here.

<Snipped quote by Source>

*On impact, the energy disappears into me as though disappearing into an endless void*
Game changed.
*The crystal suddenly begins to burn cold as you feel it sucking away at your energy directly*

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Hey! Nemid!

*You see an unnaturally tall, but painfully thin creature soaring towards you, propelled by his own telekinesis.*

Why don't we have a go?

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

We’ll see.
*Shoots more spires into the crystal*

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

And you want to annex us?

<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

I'm through playing. I'm finishing you all off at together.

<Snipped quote by Source>

*The purple seems to be changing to more of a blue, and the more you attack it now, the more actively it seems to sap from you. Space itself is modulates around me, mimicking an aura as it becomes more heavily Outside than Existence*
