Okay, what the hell is “flat earth theory”?

This isn’t serious. There aren’t actually humans who think their planet is flat. You have space exploration - more or less.

This has to be some kind of joke.



Right?

How in the hell is it a hologram?

You have tides, here, for one thing. For another, your tech isn't nearly advanced enough to generate a planet-wide hologram...

I don't understand.

[droptheious]

You don't have to tell me, it's insane! Like literally so much is tied to the moon, and it's been documented long before we had any sort of tech to support that insane conspiracy.

Some people are crazy.

[thearchangel]

Why the hell do they want to believe an actual part of their solar system doesn't exist?

Don't humans want to start exploration in this day and age?

[droptheious]

It's as much a mystery as it is to you. I really don't get it. Like people have BEEN to the moon, I saw images and everything! And they still say it's not real. It's insane.

[thearchangel]

I've been to your moon. That's saying something. There was a military base there and everything!

[droptheious]

Oh wow really? It's not there in this time, but that's pretty impressive.

But yeah, very blatantly real.

[thearchangel]

Yeah, I didn't see any mention of it from what I've been reading. No research station on Mars either... Guess you're further back than I thought.

The moon, all your planets, and the rest of the galaxy is very, very real. I agree.

[droptheious]

Oh wow yeah no. Nowhere near that far. Admittedly I'm a little behind on my own research on how far space travel is. I uh... lost the taste for it.

[Event Horizon ruined space for him forever. ]

[thearchangel]

You did? Sorry to hear that.

Guess it's not for everyone, these days. But - it's hard to imagine. It's so ingrained in everything back home.

[droptheious]

It's... fine, it was over a year ago but still. This world sucks sometimes.

I bet it was. Honestly I thought it was pretty cool. Until I was in it.

[thearchangel]

I guess it would be a lot to take in, given the tech in this world. Overwhelming, maybe.

I ah - I'm not trying to pry here, really. Trying to wrap my head around it, though.

[droptheious]

Oh, no. The tech part was fine. It was the portal to hell that made everyone crazy and start hallucinating and killing each other that did it.

...October is usually a bad time here. Fair warning.

[thearchangel]

The






The what?

[droptheious]

The portal to hell. It was on a ship called the Event Horizon. They were attempting to manufacture a black hole to make faster than light travel.

It went worse than you would expect.

[thearchangel]

[.... every time he thinks he has a handle on this weird ass place, black holes come up.]

No I - can picture a hell of a lot of ways that could go wrong. I really, really can. And that's - that's only from a technological standpoint.

[droptheious]

I know, right! Like already it was dangerous enough and then, nope, added weird magic nonsense to the mix and everyone started killing each other.
