This, remember? Of course not.

Yeah so we may have figured out a way to send stuff between universes without being dependent on Soia.

The problem?

It requires going through, drumroll please...

The Gutter!

For the uninitiated the Soian Gutter is essentially like a collection realm for information (in the sense of things that can be described) stuck between certain universes in specific sorts of fields and whatnot. Like a cosmic grease trap.

Now, I know, this sounds funny. "But Grain, how can you avoid Soia while going through a place called the Soian Gutter?" Well funny you should ask, because I am not qualified to explain! I will try anyways.

So the normal Gutter experience is:

Appear > wait in line > get number > wait to get called > get called > get sent back.

I may've explained this before, but whatever.

Getting the number and leaving are usually handled by some very bored MS units. Not ideal for my purposes.

HOWEVER!

The Gutter is permeable, very permeable, for the standards of a Soian-moderated interdimensional space. Hopefully this can be exploited to punch into destinations of our choosing much easier than is typically possible, using much less sophisticated and heavy equipment. There's also the slight possibility of opening up a Voidless... Let's ignore that possibility and think happy thoughts instead. I got this!

I hope.
