Origins
This story begins in a different part of the multiverse, aboard an abandoned research vessel. Alex jumps down into a dimly lit corridor. Looking around, it was clear something awful took place here. Looking into the windows of the rooms, one could see that everyone had been torn apart by some terrible creatures. Alex started searching the ship for survivors or any clues or data that can clarify what happened. “Knowing what happened back on Jupiter station, this may be the same thing.” someone said over the radio.

“Might be.” Alex replies.

“Yeah, just get out of there as fast as possible when you're done. We don't want anybody from titan to know we're here.” His friend says.

“Yes sir, say when are we ordering food, I'm starving?” Alex replies.

All of a sudden, the radio goes quiet except for a faint buzz. “Guys, did you hear me?” Alex says, trying to get a response, but with no luck. Then, Alex notices a strange crack on the wall that seems to be emitting light. The crack begins to tear open, revealing more light. A faint sound comes from the other side, like ocean waves hitting the shore. Alex reaches his hand out and walks through, ending up on a beach somewhere. He looked around to find not a single human, nor anything remotely reminiscent of one, was around. He walked over to a robotic figure sitting in a booth and asked where he was. The figure looked at him with a smile, handed him a travel pamphlet, and said to him, “Welcome to spawn island. Please enjoy your stay here”. So he sat down on the docks, gathered his thoughts, and walked around for a while. While walking around, he stumbled upon a slip of paper that had something written on it, the writing was impossible to read. Most likely due to it being there for a while, but he could read the numbers on the back, which looked to be coordinates. So, he typed them into his g.p.s. and grabbed a fishing boat to sail off to the coordinates.

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT
So after a few nights, he ended up in a strange place with a colossal sized mushroom. Alex decided to make a small lodge house to live in for now. Due to many robberies and break-ins around the time, Alex began working on a better place to stay, he decided to move on to a far out city known as Scarecrow Alliance. He ended up moving in with a man by the name of Tutsito; who was kind to him, but not many others. Around town, Alex found some stuff that suggested that this place was not what it seemed. Looking at the photo in his pocket, he realized that he might never be safe. So he packed up everything again and walked out of Tutsito's house. But, just as he started leaving, he saw someone standing outside. When Alex got closer he got a better view of them, he was a well-dressed man with golden gloves and a pair of goggles looking off into the distance at nothing. This stranger said, “You, my friend, have terrible luck with keeping a house. I could offer you some assistance”. Alex just laughed and said, “I don't think you can help, sir.” And started to walk off, but just as he got past the fence, the man stopped him and said, “You're not from around here, are you?”.

“What do you mean?” Alex asks.

“From this universe.” replied the man.

He took his hat off and said, “You saw a little glowing crack in the wall, that turned into a giant tear in space, and it brought you to this world, right?”. Alex turned to him confused and replied in a lowered voice, “How do you know about that?”. The man turned toward Alex and said, “Well, I may know how to help you”. He put his hand out and replied, “My name is Skrilla, and I would like to help”.

“My name is Alex” Alex answered, shaking his hand.

PRESENT
A week later, in the shoreside town of Oppidum, Alex started to work on a café. When he got the news that reality was falling apart after the fall of Submaria, he, in a hurry, fixed an old drill they had. With some adjustments, and the help of Teagan, it was capable of space travel in the form of those tears in reality. So he called Skrilla and Ircillo on the radios and told them to hurry on over to the tavern. Alex fired up the old rust bucket and drove down into one of those tears and ended up in a new world. When Alex put the drill to a stop, he got up from the driver seat and told them, “Man, was that awesome or what? Also, you guys might want to see this”.
