After the Besananta left its home universe in an attempt to explore the
bulkverse, those left behind eagerly awaited their return. They waited, and
they waited, and still no one came back. They tried looking for data that the
ship might have sent, or that a probe picked up at some point, but there was
nothing conclusive. As far as they could tell, the mission was a huge failure.
There were some theories, like that travel outside of a brane was possible,
but back into one was impossible. However, signals could clearly penetrate the
membrane, so that didn’t seem too likely. Perhaps the destination universe was
so amazing that the crew decided to stay there, and forget about everyone
else. That seemed strange too. They might have encountered some terrible
threat that forced them to cut off all contact with Infiniverse. That wasn’t
entirely unbelievable, but in the end, these theories didn’t really matter.
They had no way of knowing how the mission turned out. Did they make it to
another universe? If so, why did they not return? The chances were too high
that the ship didn't survive, for one reason or another. They decided to stay,
and never try again. Answering those questions weren’t going to do them any
good. Just because they could tell that other universes existed, didn’t mean
that they were any good, or worth traveling to. They didn’t find any other
life here, so they were going to have to make do. That was what they did. They
chose to expand back out into the stars, so that before too long, aliens did
exist, because a civilization that started from a colony a thousand years ago
was no more similar to them than one that had evolved on its own. Here they
remained for the rest of the age of their universe. Some cultures died out,
while others thrived, while more rose up. This was the way things were
supposed to be. People weren’t really ever meant to explore the bulkverse at
all. It wasn’t designed for travel, which is why it was such a fluke. The
Infiniversals just had to recognize this truth.

- About Me
My name is Nick Fisherman III. It's not my real name, but that's not because I'm trying to hide from my former agency, or something. I named myself after someone I've known for most of my life, and he chose it in honor of his late best friend. I took up writing when I found myself failing 8th grade science, and realized I might never reach my dream of becoming a biochemist, a meteorologist, and a quantum physicist. I started developing my canon after a scouting trip to an island inspired what I thought would be my first novel. I founded this website upon the advice of many people, who told me I needed to get my work out there, and not wait for an agent to accept my manuscript. You can expect one new story every day. Weekdays are for microstories, which are one or two paragraphs long. They're usually only thematically linked, so you won't have to read one to understand another, but they do sometimes tell a combined story. Sundays are for my continuous longer story, The Advancement of Mateo Matic, which I started in the beginning, and won't end until 2066. Saturdays are for long series, most of which take place in the same universe as Mateo, and add to the larger mythology.
