Third year of OtherSpace: The Interactive Saga

[edit] Unravelled Dreams and Forgotten Obligations

Mysterious dimensional rifts begin - first with subspace transmissions overheard, but growing more substantial over time, until a seemingly war-like Castori vessel bombs a city on Sivad from orbit, with thousands of casualties. The attacking vessel, it is determined, came from an alternate universe, but its effects are no less real. The rifts are linked to an anomaly near Jupiter, the site of an inter-universal crossing by a Falari vessel from Hiverspace. If left unchecked, it is learned, the rifts will continue until all existing universes are wiped out. The reborn Il'Ri'Kamm Hive Mind, transdimensional entity that it is, is called upon to help heal the rift, with the aid of the Maltarians. Meanwhile, after a brief peace in the Solar Consortium, terrorists in the Keep Earth Pure movement detonated more than a dozen plasma bombs on Earth's surface. The Consortium is left in ruins, and Earth will be unreachable for at least two years.

NOTES: Overall arc by Wes Platt (a.k.a. Brody) and Colchek. The biggest shock of the storyline came with the decimation of Earth - the result of Lazarus Blades' controversial plan to open Earth to alien trade. It was during this arc that we held our first roleplaying marathon. This arc also saw the introduction of Colchek's newest race, the Maltarians.
