Imagine a panorama of sentient entities, competing in a near infinite series of dimensions, aware that their existence is threatened - by Reality. In a matrix of 26D branes emerges a 10D brane, with the greatest concentration of sentience known - the Prima - destined to inflict their Evil on the Matrix, and throughout the Anomaly: a 4D brane exhibiting truly aberrant properties: a unique form of complex matter. The Primas' dark energy threatens to destroy this Anomaly. But the Eternals are unconcerned. The remnants of the 4D cluster will be absorbed by their Eternity at the end of this final Cycle and with it, the Anomaly and its extraordinary Life. So, the Purity will return. Chaos, the Abomination, is indicted for Intervention in the 4D cluster, and is banished into Stasis; but creates the ultimate artificial intelligence, Cosmos, capable of influencing and regulating all activity across Eternity. Spanning a million trillion temporal units, the Quest is to prevent the end of Eternity, or escape to Reality.
