*Nods in approving and relaxes even more* That is exactly what heaven stands for... Fair enough, i guess i only have your words for proof, and i can only hope it is the truth.

Well, it is only fair then that i do answer your question. Yes, this universe ie not ours, and we did not do anything to it. Those proportions of darkness, we do not know where they come from. Benjamin used to work with Prism a little over 3 of these months, and all we know, is that this universe was claimed to have been created by the same beings that created this titan..

*I flick my writs and you receive a vision of the city sized arcane titan sitting next to the edge of this star system, guarded by a small spaceport with several of my refraction copies*

There was this other being... a being of malevolent chaos and darkness, that tried to do something... as of yet we do not know what. Benjamin and Prism alongside three other adventurers worked together to beat it out of the universe. But i can only assume it is responsible for everything here...

@ArGavryiell

Allow me to clarify. In the world you come from, what caused the sudden disturbance that led to the few of you fleeing?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*relaxes a bit* I understand, but you have to understand i must assume defensive positions for almost anyone out here, if what i learned is even remotely true. And if it is, what does such an organisation such as the one that contracted you, stands to gain from acting like some heralds of stability and protectors of realities?

But before i tell you if your information is accurate, you must justify your organisation for me. If i find they are evil, i will not cooperate.

@ArGavryiell

Every dimension should rise and fall on its own merits. That's what we stand for. One world should not exert power over another because they have the strength to do so, and one world should not be robbed of its chance to pave its own path.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Nods stoically* Well then... I know you are of some form of divine origin, i have talked in depth with Benjamin over the months, and all i have gotten here is that most people out here, are self-centred, egomaniacs, survivalists and power seekers. In a sense not all that different from my fallen brother down there.

So i have sensed your purity, but i'm uncertain whether that is an honest sense. For all i know you could be masking yourself.

@ArGavryiell

I suppose I could, but I don't stand to gain much from this information out of self-interest. We have reason to believe that what occurred in your world was a result of external interference, at least to some degree. Does that match your understanding?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Yeah... i'll let Gabriel lead this conversation, while i'll go to beat some discipline into our resident devil....

@The Odeoron

Of course. I would love to get your take on the matter later, if you can.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*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.

Myriad Reality

<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.
