*Grimaces and my tuning fork turns back into a knife, the tip of which I trace along my arm while looking at you* I don’t know. That doesn’t sound like the greatest way to fix anybody.

@Balance

You may want to remove dangerous targets, acquire surrounding territory for a more manageable perimeter, or claim important dimensions that you do not yet possess.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I mean, I’m asking if that’s the idea with your agreement. Like, are you going to take the dimension and move it into a protective shell, or something?

@Balance

No. The agreement is as follows: You, or any other interested party, may choose a dimension or dimensions that you wish to acquire. My benefactors will ensure that you are the rightful claimant of those territories. After a specified period of time, you return a marginally greater quantity of territory.

Can they be placed inside clusters of dimensions unlikely to be attacked?

@Balance

Your ability to change the physical location of dimensions is outside the terms of this agreement.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Positions?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

We all are. It’s hard to watch when someone you love only steps backwards.

@Balance

The relative location of dimensions near those that you care about.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

This universe is in the IA network. *Leans back and dances the tuning fork between my fingers* Besides, it’s not like we do anything here but hang out on this uninhabited planet.

@Balance

There are strategically optimal positions, either for your dimension or for others.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

The only locations I consider valuable to me are my two home universe, and I know who owns both.

@Balance

And this universe? And surrounding universes?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

What’s your solution, then?

@Balance

We can provide key territories in locations that you find valuable. If there's a territory that someone else owns, we can acquire it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Do we know them? You obviously know us.

@Balance

I'm not at liberty to speak on their behalf. I'm here to do as I was instructed.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

“We”?

@Balance

My benefactors.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Yeah, that’s what I mean. I remember she can’t talk, but I imagine, like, holding hands watching a sunset. Or destroying random space rocks.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Oh, yeah. I had to claim a couple of territories with my sis.

@Balance

<Snipped quote by Balance>

We spend a lot of time sitting on high places and watching the hours pass us by.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I know a few things about it.

@Fractured

Some can be increasingly difficult to acquire and defend. However, we have a solution to allow you to better protect what you care for the most.
