CHAPTER 77: Pay It Forward (Fandom: Parahuman Series)
Ah… Good old Brockton Bay. Well, it's Brockton Bay, how good can it be?
So… Old, decrepit, dying, Brockton Bay. A shining example of how corrupted and messed up the rest of the world is.
And in a surprising turn of events, Dollar General doesn't exist.
"Any change in the state of the Space Whale?"
"None yet Boss…"
Because something else already exists.
"Boss, can I ask a question?"
"Go ahead."
"What are we waiting for? Dying, moving, what?"
That something is the derogatorily nicknamed Space Whales.
"Anything really. It noticing us would just hasten the death of this universe. Not that it isn't already hastened but any moment we can save is a moment where we can avert it's death."
Fun Fact: Dollar General really doesn't like not existing somewhere. Even if they no longer exist, they were there once.
Spite is one heck of a drug.
"WWPH2008 is having an uprising! Taylor is going against Space Whale Zion!"
"Showtime peoples! Iuy'tdf, get the portals ready. Ph'yhe, Ta'dep, Ed'rit, Ne'bel, Te'mas, get started on tuning that communicator to QA's signal, Taylor isn't going to do this alone. Ultron, code Golf, Uniform, Sierra."
I should know, given how many times I've used it to fix things.
Sometimes you need tools to make tools, and in this case a happy and fixed MCU to fix the absolute crap bucket that is Worm and the parahumans.
And if it gives Dollar General a foothold in these universes, then that's a bonus.
Er, well, the paperwork says it's the main reason, but paperwork is paperwork.
