“It’s not that complicated of a
system,” he said calmly. “One world up and one world down. That’s it. We don’t
know why that’s the way it works, but that’s what it is.”
Valentine continued to stare at
the drawing. It had a circle labeled “brown” with an arrow pointed to another
circle labeled “red.” Then, from the red circle was an arrow drawn to another
circle labeled “green” which also had in parentheses “(Earth).”
“So all these circles up there
are planets?” Valentine asked. “Is that red one Mars?”
The short man that had been
talking nearly fell over with anger.
“Have you not been listening to
a word I’ve said?” He asked pointing at Valentine in a threatening manner. “Yes,
they’re planets, and no they’re not in this dimension. I can’t point in the sky
where they are because they’re not in this universe. How many times do I have
to go over this with you? Kat, take over for me. I’m done trying to get through
this human’s thick skull.”
“Yes, Captain Masuda,” Kat said
obediently. “Try to keep up, Jack. We’re only going to explain this once more
before you just have to learn as you go.”
He hated his name Jack. He
wished people would never use it. Agent or Valentine was much more mysterious
and that’s what he liked to be. He decided to force all the thoughts to the
back of his mind so he could pay attention to Kat.
“Our universe is like a room
being lit by a single light source,” she began. “It illuminates everything, but
is stopped from continuing on by the walls, floor, and ceiling. These give our
universe a physical boundary. There is another universe right next to ours. It
has a room and a light source as well, but is completely separate from ours.
But because it is right next to ours, it shares one of our walls. Now imagine
someone takes a drill and creates a small hole in the wall. Now the light from
our room shines into the other room, and the light from the other room shines
into our room. This has effectively created a way to travel between universes.
This is what happens. We have a parallel world, sitting in the exact same
location as Earth, orbiting a Sun just like ours, but is inhabited by a much
different species than human. These different species can be civilized, but
most of the time their monsters, out for personal gain. We try our best to
contain these interdimensional rifts that pop up throughout the world. Does
that make any more sense?”
Valentine thought for a moment.
“So is there a room that you
drill holes to test your theory?” Valentine asked.
She looked at him dumbfounded. “That
was an analogy Jack. An analogy. I was speaking figuratively. Are you seriously
asking if there’s a room wh-“
“I was kidding,” Valentine
said. “Don’t freak out. I think I understand. There are multiple universes
