Chapter 7: An Unsettling Discovery.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT CHAPTER IN THE STORY.
Date: March 4, 2016
Meanwhile at NASA's manned space flight center, scientists were just hanging around. They haven't done anything since NASA realized it cared more about finding life on Mars even though there isn't than actually doing things worth a damn.
Two scientists named Julian and Kenny were sitting in their chairs, playing Candy Crush Saga on their hip, trendy new Iphone 6S phones, which are pretty much the same as any other. Julian had just lost his game.
"Thanks Obama". Said Julian.
"Why do you blame Obama for everything bad that happens?" Asked Kenny.
"Because he is the reason why we do nothing here!"
"Can you stop being so uber-conservative for 1 second, Julian?"
"I can say the same to your Uber-liberalism, Kenny!"
Just before they were going to break out into a full-on political debate, Lead scientist Samantha walked through the door.
"Everyone, come to the conference room quick. We have a very disturbing discovery" She said.
"I bet it's about Obama's shape shifting reptilian bodyguards". Said Julian, laughing
"Shut your cryhole". Said Kenny.
They filed in to the conference room.
Samantha started speaking.
"We have detected an anomaly in subspace".
"Don't you mean spacetime?" Said Kenny.
"Yes, but subspace just sounds cooler".
"So what is the problem?"
"It seems that the anomaly is coming from the Sonic The Hedgehog dimension"
"So that's why Sonic and pals are in NASCAR now?" Asked Darren, a big NASCAR fan.
"Yep".
"The two realities will soon start merging together, and will complete on November 20th".
"That's when NASCAR's finale is!"
"So what can we do about it?" Asked Julian.
"We don't know. We also don't know what this means for our world. Will the realities merge seamlessly, or will things get crazy?"
"I'm guessing the latter. I mean, Sonic and friends in NASCAR is crazy enough, but the realities merging sounds like something out of a fanboy's dreams, and not in a good way".
"What's important is that we should keep this information classified, so that panic doesn't ensue".
"We'll try".
The conference ended, and the scientists went back to doing nothing at all.
However, Julian was actually the son of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.
After he went back home, he called up his dad and told him the news.
"Hi dad!"
"Hi son! How was your day?"
"Well, it's pretty interesting. You've heard of Sonic the Hedgehog racing in NASCAR, right?"
"Yeah, i've heard of it".
"Well, apparently, the worlds of Sonic and Earth have started to merge, and will be completely combined by November 20th! NASA is keeping this a secret so no panic ensues!"
"Wow! This is perfect material for WikiLeaks!"
"I know, right? Anyway, goodbye, and good luck with your new WikiLeaks article!"
He hang up.
Meanwhile, the senior Julian went to work on his website. He decided that the issue was important enough for it's own website, so he created . The contents of this page, written in bolded, italicized, capitalized, AND underlined text, were as follows.
IMPORTANT!
UNTOLD CATASTROPHE TO STRIKE!
THE REALITIES OF SONIC'S WORLD AND OUR WORLD ARE MERGING!
WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN?
THE GOVERNMENT IS KEEPING THIS A SECRET, BUT YOU KNOW THEM!
WE MUST SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THIS CATASTROPHE AT ONCE!
MY SON WORKS FOR NASA, SO HE KNOWS THE TRUTH ABOUT THE WORLD!
YOU MIGHT THINK I'M CRAZY, BUT NEWS FLASH: YOUR WRONG!
WHY ELSE ARE SONIC AND FRIENDS RACING AND WINNING IN THE NASCAR SPRINT CUP SERIES? HUH? HUH?!
PLEASE BELIEVE ME!
SINCERELY: MR. TRUTH
As expected, everyone took it as a crazy conspiracy theory, but what they didn't know was that it was the truth...
