Chapter 254

• [Carnelia]
• It is impossible to know how long I’ve been standing here, listening to the ramblings of this “Navigator,” standing on the precipice of a cliff's edge in a ruined city that she informs me isn’t just on the other side of our known universe, but in a dimension completely different from the one I was born in.
• “Your education is severely lacking,” she shook her head at me when she explained her understanding of traveling the void. “There are infinite potential worlds in infinite possible spaces. Sometimes it is the same world, but in different times, or different combinations of universal possibilities. The planet you were born to, Terra, is just one of many planet seeds discovered by our navigators. Of the most viable, it was chosen for its potential for easy adaptation and lack of intelligent competition for resources. Our offspring will only require minor modification to thrive there.”
