And suddenly, it clicks. Those ads. They'd popped up here and there on the extranet, always a happy family on an alien world, with catch and copy like "How Far Will You Go? Find Out What It Takes!", then a link to "Recruitment Details".
The Andromeda Initiative. Someone's passing pipe-dream to send a bunch of people to the Andromeda Galaxy to explore where no-one had gone before. But hadn't it been grounded with no funds? It sure hadn't been in the news cycles.
But it did fit the 600 quote, if they had the right tech. Although how they'd get that...]
We know that the Ingress harnesses a unique energy that has the ability to manipulate time and space. It works, and it serves as a jumping off point for trade and travel — but it still has faults, glitches — and that's what drags people here. The techs share a lot — everything they can. You can even get a job working alongside them, if you've got what it takes. Anything to help speed up the process.
In terms of numbers, there's thousands of people stranded, from thousands of different universes. There's even twins, doubles of people from parallel universes. Some people from the same universe don't recognize each other, because they've been pulled from somewhere different, before they ever met.
So — Vetra, right? — clearly you know me. Why don't you tell me a little about yourself?
