"Isn't Murtaugh dead?" Lillian questioned. "Ugh, maybe the Submachine deigned to keep him alive somehow this time around the kaian cycles..." Then she looked out the window, and said various offensive things. "Gah, the party's scattered," she finished, "and more importantly, this is not the Strata. We fell into a star crack, and from the smell of spacetime we're in an instance of the Eridanus-Supervoid. Ping those two ships and see if we're in a consistent mainline universe or can exit bubblestates to one. If we're lucky we can get everybody back in one place and save a whole lot of introductions." avertedCrisis kicks the Shenanigans Engine back to work. Analysis begins. Disk 1 Book 4: Submachine It was thirteen years ago when I placed the last Wisdom Gem in the heart of the Submachine. Only seventeen years ago, I was brought back to life by Shiva, placed in an unaging body, one that would not die by time alone. It took me two years to wander back into the core. My gambit to shut down the defenses had worked! All the knowledge that I desired was at my fingertips! I was even able to fully restore the Third Layer over the course of two years! I learned that the Submachine was designed by the ancient Forerunner race. It was intended to be a sentient prison, capable of holding elder gods of eldritch powers in ancient pantheons. However, the prison's sentience was their downfall: systematically, the Submachine killed off all the Forerunners across time and space. The last of them installed three of the Wisdom Gems with his final breaths, holding the artifact in place. (He glances at the time, making a note of it.) What is just now fourteen years ago, some kid named Riku came up to me. He asked me if I wanted to save the universe, and I replied in the affirmative. Merely a week later, Riku's daring plan to entrap Grontimügarr, the Feeder of Pain in the Submachine came to fruitition. By placing the last Wisdom Gem, I had frozen the light of the Eighth Layer: the Layer of Light and Time. In doing so, I had stopped time on every layer of the Submachine: a power switch was pressed, if you will. However, recently, the light was disrupted - awakened from eternal slumber - when a shrine maiden banished an amanojaku (a turnways-flipping, screen-inverting little girl) into the Submachine. Ever since then, I've been on the run from the Forerunner God of Pain. My name is Murtaugh, and I am the last descendant of the Mongolians. This is my story. Look around you -=> You are in a small room in the FIRST LAYER of the SUBMACHINE, an ANCIENT PRISON and RELIC of a FORGOTTEN RACE. You are surrounded by LOTS AND LOTS OF COMPUTERS, which seems to make up about 83 PERCENT of the FIRST LAYER. You are about FORTY-TWO KARMA JUMPS AWAY from the CORE OF THE SUBMACHINE (KARMA JUMPS being a UNIT OF MEASUREMENT you MADE YOURSELF to represent the DISTANCE that a SINGLE KARMA PORTAL CAN SAFELY TAKE YOU without CAUSING LAYER DAMAGE.) The FEEDER OF PAIN is FIFTY-SEVEN KARMA JUMPS away from you, forming a FIFTY-SIX DEGREE ANGLE OFF THE PARALLEL. This means that it is FOURTY-EIGHT POINT THREE TWO EIGHT KARMA JUMPS away from the CORE. You know that the FEEDER OF PAIN has a TWO-KARMA JUMP PAIN AURA. However, it can only move HALF AS FAST as you. Watch the computers -=> You do that. Some weird scenes unfold. You see a human male snogging a female kappa. You see an ambiguously human female nearly get run over by a patrol of ambiguously human people, only to see the patrol blasted to oblivion. You see an Orzic Nedben try to contact a large group of humanoid creatures, with only the three in purple responding (although the little girl isn't all that happy to see it.) You see the Green Sun. You see two HEAVENBRANDED horrors in heated debate. [ S ] Lillian: Tunnel. ==> Spell circles floating haphazardly into being, the might of a goddess penetrates the abstract. Stars burst from her forehead, glitches begin to form into unholy patterns, and for all the world it looked like something devastating was going to happen. After minutes of this, the drums rise back from the back, and the tunneling into spacetime itself begins, bits of gummi from the world edges beginning to flake off. Pichuun. Phantasmal drills at alien angles, the sheer directed fury of someone trying to return home, all physics and resistance in the way damned. Magic the world was never meant to know soared like it was everyday dust, the house-vessel thing caught up in a whirlpool as the same old crack-rainbows, just like those someone else had formed long ago, began to rise. With an abstract cut and the sound of glubbing, a house and all within fell out of the world, the rainbows fading away behind them in nedbens and the knitting of spacetime by a god with a fan cord. A submachine hunt had begun.

House: Crash. ==> The house pops into being, bonks the defense grid, and gets stuck. Lillian and Horrorterror climb out. There was going to be a pretty post here with conversation. But Google Chrome's backspace shortcut is an utter asshole and will not let me do that, and it can't be disabled normally. I have now angrily enabled BackStop, a wonderful plugin for stopping this exact stupidity. tl:dr Lillian explains stuff. Her head explodes, horrorterror goes holy shit what, it regrows, and she's like ow, can't get out of here due to submachine reality pull, blah blah we must investigate. Basically, there are things in the submachine. The Forerunners interfered with the Fourth Dynasty of Western Kingdom relevance so that when they built their anti-structural architecture in the 1832-1857-etc. range to create the prison, and maybe intentionally probably not it got cancer in the 1900s with the Root, it did what Nefer said it did. Things kept going and the plan was repaired by Murtaugh somehow. Lillian is vaguely aware of this due to narrative sense and divine lore.

((Also, seven-fifths of the house is stuck in the Loop, 48/24 parts of the house is always ten feet above Hatate, and 5487/43 of it is embedded into Pop Star. It's weird and stupid and totally in-character for a dimensional anomaly that resides in a universal tumor that no longer exists because it's been replaced by a bridge between universes.))
A few weeks pass as Lillian finally gets her body back in one place...

avertedCrisis: Have idea. ==>
What.
Oh, right. That.
You send a drone over to the jegnonathe^3^28x^cuberoot_pi that is the part of this house that hates physics because Sburb Server has zero qualms with making fractal internalizer locations, and cause it to fall out near Hatate, because her cameraphone is equally strong as the entirety of the Submachine for drawing in things.
You say hello to Hatate and see where the conversation will go next.

You manage to make it through the legions of fairies with machineguns to hide in a boring spot near one of the weird edges of Gensokyo. Maybe the Ring of Gensokyos is concentrated enough to let you escape to...I don't know, the Mirror World? Makai? Hell? A dreamworld? The moon? You'll figure it out after some sciency things.

A map of the Submachine. There are exactly umpteen layers in the Submachine. Murtaugh and the Feeder of Pain are currently in the cow layer, the Layer of Tech and Wandering. The cow layer has two-way passage to the 43rd layer and the 5th layer (the Layer of Karma and Power and the Layer of Water and Pantheons, respectively.) The 5th layer has two-way passage to EVERY LAYER. Yes, this means it has free transport between the 1st layer (the Layer of Asteroids and Void,) the 2nd layer (Layer of Churches and Directions, which is highly unsafe due to the Feeder of Pain's presence,) the 3rd layer (the Layer of Clockwork Forests and Coastlines,) the 4th layer (Layer of Pipes and Ladders,) the 6th layer (Layer of Bunkers and Quiet,) the 7th layer (Layer of Bamboo and Abandonment,) the 8th layer (the Layer of Light and Time,) the pi layer (Layer of Data and Loops,) the 43rd layer, the cow layer, and the umpteenth layer (Layer of Carpets and Holes.) Layers 1-7 safely connect to each other except for layer 3. Layer 3 can be linked to from the 43rd and cow layers, but you can't go back right away. The 8th layer has a one-way link to every layer (including itself) except the 43rd and 5th layers, which have two-way links. The umpteenth layer has holes between the carpets that are random one-directional links to the 1st, 6th, pi and cow layers. The pi layer is where the Loop resides. The Loop is only accessible from the umpteenth and 3rd layers. The pi layer has two-way links between itself and the 1st, 7th and cow layers. A one-way link means that it is only safe to enter a layer through a karma portal on that layer. Two-way links are safe when opening karma portals to either layer. If a link is not listed, a karma jump is unsafe and will destroy parts of that layer. (For example, Murtaugh's first karma portal in layer 3 took him to the Loop on layer pi. This ushered in the destruction of the layer.) Layers 1-7 are all the same size. The pi layer can be crossed in a single karma jump, making it the smallest of all. The cow layer drops the tech where the base layers (1-7) end, reverting to a more natural setting. The umpteenth layer is slightly smaller than the cow and 43rd layers. The 43rd layer is slightly smaller than the cow layer, but just a bit larger than the umpteenth layer. The 8th layer, naturally, is infinite. Lillian's house has crashed into one of the base layers.

Main party: Play Trove =>Murtaugh: Play Trove ==> Nah. Besides, you have something even more fun to do. READ THE NEWSPAPERS. You ever read a Forerunner newspaper? They're laugh riots, and they don't even have comics. What they have is the classifieds. The classifieds take up a good 45% of the newspaper. The rest is just political rabble that you don't give a hoot about. But in those public requests, everything is hilarious. For example... Book 4 Act 2 Act 1 Act 1: Tigger, a Chlorine Golem, a plastic figure of Shikieki, and ten gallons of white wine from 1997 needed for elaborate practical joke You wonder if that prank ever came to be.

Mysteriously having become an animate weapon, you...do that.
With your friend Chlorine Golem, a Tigger replicant, your plastic Yamaxanadu Eiki Shiki figurine, and 10 gallons of fine 1997 white wine, you lie in wait somewhere hidden in the nonlayered void just above the submachine's general metastructural existential bubblespaces and other technobabble like that.
Alright, you will admit having kept one of your existing selves here since what, before Tei Isfuriel? Around the time the Forerunners broke? Seriously, when was somebody going to show up already? It was getting kind of boring down here.

(Author's Note: Snot is the Forerunner god of bladder cancers. His name is pretty much invoked in terms of "what the hell.") Science: I AM. SCIENCE. BOW DOWN. BEFORE ME.
