There was originally nothing special about the Bermuda Triangle. There are
many explanations for why there seem to be more lost aircraft and oceancraft
in the area, and not all of them are supernatural. Yes, some believe it
leads to another dimension, while others think that there’s some kind of
glitch in the magnetosphere over this spot. Even the more logical
explanations aren’t necessary, because the truth is that it mostly comes
down to math. Why are there more disappearances in this one region of the
sea, as opposed to, say, the middle of the South Pacific Ocean? Simply
because there is more travel happening in this area. It’s like asking why
there are more deaths in cars that are driving on the road, as opposed to
cars that are parked in people’s garages. Well, they’re not moving, so
there’s not as much opportunity to suffer an injury. It’s not impossible,
but not as common, and not reported as a traffic accident. In the 1950s,
sensationalist media began to suggest that there was something different
about the Bermuda Triangle, and people began to contrive their conspiracy
theories. Once this happened, the Triangle began to distinguish itself. Just
the suggestion that it was special was what made it special, and that was
what gave it the temporal properties that it otherwise would not have had.
To be clear, supernatural disappearances did not start to occur in the 50s.
It was still perfectly safe to sail or fly over these waters, and expect no
more problems than you might encounter elsewhere. Neither activity is
without risk, but that’s true of anywhere. The best thing you can do to
protect yourself is to be prepared, and again, this is true of anything. At
any rate, you won’t have to worry about an undersea demon rising up to eat
you. It’s more that becoming so important to the global consciousness has
allowed the natural laws of temporal sciences to exploit it for other
purposes.
Time travel is real, and so is immortality, but reaching true immortality is
a pretty big chore. It requires obtaining eleven sources of water. Catalyst
primes the body to accept them, and Activator binds them together. Each of
the sources in between imbues you with a different flavor of non-mortality.
Bermuda Triangle water is called Existence. Most of the waters are fairly
obvious in regards to their purpose, while Existence is a little more
vague—though not quite as vague as Death—at least if all you’ve heard is its
name. Youth keeps you young, or even youngifies you, if necessary. Longevity
lets you keep going throughout the years. Health cures you of disease, and
immunizes you against all future disease. The others are just as apparent
when you first hear of them. You can take any of the waters you want, and
exclude any you don’t, but once you drink Activator, it’s over. You are
permanently at least one kind of immortal, and you can never benefit from
any of the ones you missed. Heck, you could theoretically not drink any of
the middle nine, and become permanently immune to them. Some choose to
ignore Existence, but it is the absolute most important. Time water keeps a
time travel event from preventing you from ever reaching your goal of
immortality in an alternate reality. Existence is similar, but instead it
prevents a time travel event from preventing you from being born in the
first place. If you never existed, you can’t become immortal, can you, even
if you drank Time in your first timeline? The closer to the center of the
Bermuda Triangle, the better, and it only counts for the water found after
1950, but if you did manage to drink it, and then Activate, no one can take
it away, even in the past.
