Something’s been bugging me.

Why can I transfer to other realities so easily? And more importantly, why can’t other people? It shouldn’t be this hard—even with my current skills and powers, I’m not that much more powerful than an average person. According to James, my reality levels are on the high side, but that’s not an explanation. That’s just a fact. Mergewalk helps, but there’s no way SHOCKS could only have had two or three successful missions. Even accounting for my power, it doesn’t make sense.

“James, can you get me information on all the humans who’ve entered other realities.”

James pauses for a second. [That’s over five thousand documented individuals prior to Merge Prime and closer to three hundred thousand after. If I give you the records of everyone prior to Merge Prime who survived the trip for longer than five minutes, that narrows it down to four incidents.]

“Four?” SHOCKS told me there’d been three, not counting me but counting Strauss.

[We had a team enter another reality. They were wiped out, but SHOCKS learned an incredible amount from that operation. The second was Agent Zhang. She spent months in R-1032, but SHOCKS isn’t convinced she didn’t bring something back with her. She went rogue shortly after escaping containment post-return. Then there’s Strauss.] James goes quiet.

“That’s three.” I look around the Experimental Sector. Researchers are everywhere. They’re building a series of towers that look a lot like the Faraday Cage setup, connecting one of those Mobile Containment Units to the merge generator, and rearranging the whole entryway. Massive metal shields hang over the anomalous contraption at wild angles that make no sense to me.

[Yes, the fourth. It’s classified above Director-level clearance.]

“But you have access to it?” I ask.

[Yes. The fourth was a non-accidental merge attempt. Zhang and the RST were mistakes, but they provided vital information to a SHOCKS Headquarters in Florida, which saw an opportunity to either deploy teams into other realities in advance of merges—during what you call the thinning phase—or to preemptively explore and catalog other realities and the anomalies inside of them. They’d hoped to change SHOCKS’s whole mission from one of containment to one of prevention. To build a fortress around R-0 instead of fighting in the streets, so to speak.]

“It didn’t work, though?”

[Actually, it worked perfectly. The testing
