[Good morning, moms! How are you feeling? Scared and confused? Nauseous? Unhappy to be wearing leopard print right now? Well, at least you're not alone...]

Yep. That one.

[ He looks visibly worried as it plays — it's obvious he's not taking it well no matter how much he's trying to keep that under a lid. ]

There's missing parts, but enough to form a basic understanding.

[ And he really, really doesn't like what he's gathering from it ]

I'm familiar with the concept of different universes and dimensions, but ... man. Even for me, this is new.

[ruinatings]

Different universes? I know there are other planes of existence, to some degree, but that sounds a little far-fetched.

[Rufus is the last person who should be calling anything farfetched but look. He's tired and confused.]

On the other hand, this doesn't appear to be anywhere I've ever heard of.

[spectacularluck]

Not as far-fetched as you'd think. It's essentially just different realities — add just a single difference within a timeline, and you've got yourself a completely different world.

[ This is already way more than he'd say as Peter Parker under normal circumstances, but — completely different universe. No one in sight that he knows. He doubts his secret identity is in danger ]

We can put that to the test easily. Where are you from? What year? Biggest known corporation in your universe?

[ruinatings]

[Well... Okay. He'll at least give this a shot. It'd be stupid to deny it when they can prove it true or not.]

The Erebonian Empire, year 1206 of the Septian calendar. The biggest corporation I can think of is probably the Reinford Group. And you?

[spectacularluck]

New York City, year 2018. We've got a bunch of those. Alchemax? That one's huge right now. But there you go, you and I are from completely different realities.

[ But to be honest, he already guessed just based on the fact he did not recognize him after the fall of Parker Industries ]

Based on the message we got here, I'm guessing this here is some sort of gateway between worlds. It would make sense, assuming everyone here is from a different one.

[ruinatings]

I see... Well then, that makes it even more imperative we solve this mystery. I would greatly like to know what kind of force this "Malice" is, if it can affect different realities. For that matter, I'd like to know who this "Prince" is and by what standard we were chosen to deal with his problem.
