"A rat that doesn't belong here."
"I do believe this is the first time someone is comparing me to a rat."
"I don't mean a rat, it has another meaning."
"Hm, your naming sense is the same no matter what universe, Bernard Ross."
"...I see. So, Anna was right."
Whiteking, not currently known as Bernard Ross in this universe. In truth, more than 24 hours ago, Bernard Ross received a notification from their AI, Anna, that a potential threat has passed through a portal and entered their universe.
At first, Bernard was a little dismissive of this, as occurrences like this should have been a top priority for the AI—but no. The AI only told Bernard in passing, almost as if the AI itself was dismissive of the threat.
And so, Bernard did not really think much of it in the first few hours, as the thing that might have passed through was just some sort of ant. If it was a mosquito, then the AI would have also notified him at once.
