The Universe

When God left the universe, He needed something to push off from.” 

-Opening words from the Third Testament

“Our World was Loosed … before, all things were bound in 3-space, as they generally call it, like a brick in a wall – like a brick in the wall of the castle made here long ago, and then blown up. It turned in new ways, and it is still spinning oddly to this day. On its surface we are carried from one Sky to another, and the other Sky was once above a separate Scape that was also set turning, which may roll under our own Sky … these are parallel universes, smashed together when the World was Loosed. Like parallel lines on a page merged by crumpling the page.”

“The diagram from space was what Nemed had already studied, but it gave no indication of the violence and mayhem occurring on the surface … Agriculture and general plant life collapsed and took millions of other species to their graves, as trees tried to bloom in snow and shed their leaves under a spring sun, as migrating herds and pods and schools and flocks crashed into ice flows and new deserts and new seas and other migrations … organisms that did survive ran rampant with whatever brief advantage they could eke out, every lucky species suddenly invasive … those who could muscle through the ecological havoc then faced a new kind of invasive species: Flying above the madly-spinning World, any craft capable of leaving the atmosphere could touch down on a new Scape rolled into position. Every natural immune system was flummoxed by what was to be found, and the millions left by the agricultural collapse started to die of smallpox and polio and measles and other plagues from the intruding formerly-parallel realities.”

-Terra Incognita

Undated engraving included in early editions of the Third Testament, artist unknown. The 'wheels' are believed to be an early UFO sighting, treated as angelic chariots (or 'ophanim') in the Book of Ezekiel, First Testament.
With the modern understanding that the Loosing was a gradual phenomenon, with earlier 'warning tremors' before the primary event, interest has fallen on archaic accounts of celestial oddities, such as the 'aerial battle' appearing over Nuremberg, Germany (Austral Scape) in April of 1561 (Gregorian). A similar 'dogfight' between flying beings was reported over Basel, Switzerland in 1566.
