*tenses up at secrecy* Complicated as in how? Don't answer her anymore Ben, i think she could possibly be another fallen being...

@ArGavryiell

*My eyebrows furrow in confusion*
Complicated in that I'm not here as a representative of some heaven, but more closely a member of a task force assigned to understand what causes universes to fail.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Smiles warmly* So there are orders out there that keep a watchful eye in these empty and godless worlds after all... that brings me hope...

@ArGavryiell

It's complicated. I don't want to give you undue confidence in an oversight that's far from exhaustive.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Yeah... i can't really give you a fundamental answer to all of that. This world is as much of a mad mystery for us here, as it is for you and your group.

For starters it has weird laws of physics... thousands of planets per every star in a galaxy per every galaxy out of the countless quintillions out there. But that might just be it's nature.

However, the collapse, which Prism and i investigated earlier, seems to be rooted in the actions of a powerful entity born from irrational chaos...

@The Odeoron

Is that related to the world you came from?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Monitor 2>

@Etcetera I so apologise for this Grace... he's REALLY pushing every button now that you came.

@The Odeoron

No apologies are needed. I understand; it's part of his nature.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Reclines in the doorframe and listens to the both of your conversations*

So tell me, then, fair maiden Grace, why did you come here? You said to investigate, but why? And for who?

@ArGavryiell

I am one of several beings who look after unstable worlds and their sources of conflict. Your world caught our attention because it appeared to collapse after interference from the outside. That's not right, nor fair to any of you, so I wanted to get your take on the matter.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*My eyes become misty* Something beyond any rational comprehension... that's what... Please... i'm still mourning. Yes i got blessed to have some of the closest friends escape the disaster, but i had so much more back there... I cannot believe that things such as those could exist...

@The Odeoron

*Nods*
It must have been so difficult for you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Ah... that place... You mean Axis 98? Well that was how Prism named it... it was not just a universe... it was a complex of multi-layered omni-realities... i have nothing much left to describe them. I'm pretty sure that whole place is in cinders now...

*I stutter in sadness as i sip on my tea next to the holodeck*

@The Odeoron

*Nods*
We use universe for simplicity. What happened that led to its collapse?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Wait... Nearby universe FALLOUT?! What do you mean by that? Are you implying that whatever anomaly beset this reality has affected surrounding realms?

@The Odeoron

*Frowns*
To remove all mystery, I mean the universe you all came from.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Good to know! *i smile as we begin heading inside one of the larger structures* So what made you curious about this universe? Is it the temporal discrepancies?... I still couldn't wrap my head around that chapter...

@The Odeoron

That's part of it. Really, the nearby universe fallout was curious, to say the least. I figured I could come and hear your side of the story.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

But ofcourse! You are an angel! *I look fondly at Gabriel* Your kind is one of the main reasons i turned a page on my life... towards the light... and onwards...

@The Odeoron

You're too kind. I'm not worthy of any veneration, especially as a function of my race.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Good... Phewh!

Well then, shall we have some tea or a pizza? or some games in the holodecks while we talk?

@The Odeoron

I wouldn't reject a spot of tea. I'm grateful for your hospitality.

Don't worry, he hasn't escaped in nearly three months now... and the integrity of the cell is still 100%... not likely he will unless people bite on his bait...

@The Odeoron

I'm not here to free or destroy any demons. Just to investigate.
