Warped

Summary:

Two years after the 'Wormhole Incident', Head Engineer Mark and Captain Liska face the judgement of the United Nebulae. The verdict: guilty of Crimes Against the Multiverse(TM). Instead of execution, humanity's new Representative negotiates an alternative: they must retrieve illegal warp crystals across the multiverse to prevent future disasters. But secrets lurk beneath the surface. How will the crew react to their life long sentence upon the Invincible? Who is this enigmatic Representative? And… what was the Captain’s name again?

Chapter 1: Preamble

Chapter Text


[You pick up a small tablet that seems to have been haphazardly discarded. When you turn on the screen a green 8 bit display greets you with this message:]

 

“We here at the Universal Stability Agency are determined to provide all of our Multiversal travelers a unique, safe and fun experience. We have teamed up with several multiversal experts to provide you with this guide we call The Traveler’s Guide to The Multiverse. Inside you will find all the information you need about wherever and whenever you are traveling to.

 

Current Destination: Multiverse

The Oxford dictionary describes a multiverse as “An infinite realm of being or potential being of which the universe is regarded as a part or instance”. 

You could even say there are an infinite amount of these realms scattered across reality and unreality, like infinite pockets holding an infinite amount of sand. But for however far and wide and up and down and every other physical direction beyond our dimension these pockets span, they also infinitely fold in on themselves like Russian nesting dolls. In each of these granules of sand that we call universes, there are stories that spawn their own pockets filled with sand. And sometimes, those will spawn their own pockets of sand and so on and so forth. 

And on occasion, these multiverses will cross streams and collide and create Anomalies (and more pockets of sand).  These Anomalies can look like anything: sometimes objects, sometimes people, sometimes several different things or people at once. Anomalies can typically switch up the way the Universe plays out despite the choices the other characters– sorry, people– make. They can really turn everything upside down, topsy turvy, or get real whacky. 

Most of the time, these Anomalies don't even realize it, and most definitely those within the universe don't know they're any different. Unless, of course, it's a universe in which they do.

 

The Multiverse™️, the one you will be traveling through, is a convergent point between three universes known as The Markiplier Cinematic Universe (MCU), the Y/N-verse, and the Liskaverse. There are a lot of moving parts and it can be hard to track all these multiverses and where they tie into each other or how. Sometimes it can make you feel crazy, like staring at walls covered in red string. But you will not need to worry about all that if you keep your handy Traveler's Guide to the Multiverse at hand.

 

And so, with all of this said, we do hope you enjoy your travels through the Multiverse™️.

 

Best of luck,
