What was that?

@Techspert

No idea! Still figuring it out.

*The field continues to grow in size, never stopping seemingly with the intent of encapsulating the universe as a whole, and as it does, the disintegration effect also grows stronger*

@Nemeses

My probes' shields will not last significantly longer. Status report, Maddie?

-Maddie M- Wait! I really like our planet. Mister force, stop! I only have one duplicate planet!

@Fractured

It's not saying anything or doing anything other than disintegrating more stuff! It's also going to fill the whole universe soon so if we're going to do something about it we'd better get rid of it soon.
-Ruby- That's what I'm here for.

*A tiny blob of energy appears, and rapidly expands into a deep red-and-black static-y portal, and I step through*
There’s no stopping anything. There’s just the matter of getting caught in a natural cycle in the form of a force of nature. Nothing more.

-Maddie M- But this force isn't in nature! *Holds out my hand* I'm Maddie. What's your name?

*Sends various messages to others*
Fear not for any beings living in the dimension.

@whizzball1

I see. This is concerning.

@whizzball1

Robyn- Robyn. The manners are appreciated, but the knowledge I have of you and my trust not having developed in you forces me to decline the handshake. Apologies. But, what you don't know about nature, makes it understandable that you would assume this isn't.

@Fractured

Yes! I've never seen this happening before.

@Heroic

-Maddie M- It's okay! Nice to meet you, Robyn. Is this force from Outside?

[Fractured]

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Yes! I've never seen this happening before.

I appreciate the lines of questioning.

@whizzball1

Indirectly, but yes.

@Fractured

Great! I have other questions, like, "Does this force have a purpose?" and, if not, "Are you sure it's a coincidence that it picked a universe full of powerful, Existence-aware people?" Do you have any suggestions for revision?

[Inimical]

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

-Maddie M- Does it have a purpose?

@whizzball1

To grow the power of Nemid.

[whizzball1]

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

To grow the power of Nemid.

@Inimical

Why did it pick our particular universe?

@whizzball1

Not at the moment.

@whizzball1

It was just next in line. You don't believe this is the first universe to which this has happened, do you?

@Inimical

-Maddie M- No, but there are an awful lot of universes out there! Are you sure it's just a coincidence that you happened upon a universe that's full of powerful, Existence-aware people?

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Not at the moment.

@Fractured

Should I mention that we've met Nemid before?
