"Greetings to you. The Messenger is speaking to you. The messenger is not intelligent, he has no will, no phone capabilities, he does not answer questions, it is impossible to contact those who sent him through him: he is just a message. A message that you can listen to, or you can not listen to.
Some time ago, a disaster happened in our world. It doesn't matter what it is, what matters is that we had to take action. Act fast and tough. Not only in relation to the inhabitants of our world, but also to the world itself.
We have made a directed explosion of an inter—world substance - erhai. The consequences for our world are probably not interesting to you, but you have felt the consequences for the surrounding worlds for yourself. There was no blast wave as such, but distortions of space covered neighboring worlds. Only people were injured. Very few. Only those whose physical connection with the world was minimal. The wave from the explosion can be compared to a draft that swept paper off the table, leaving heavier objects. In each of the nine worlds that fell under the wave of distortion, two to four people were injured. But only you were thrown out of your world in an incorporeal form.
The chances that the wave would hit you were one in three billion, that your soul would be thrown out—one in eighteen billion, that you would survive—one in two million. It's hard for us to judge whether you were lucky or not, because we don't know if you were happy
there
. According to the Herald,
there are fifty—two dimensions inhabited by various beings, and all this is only part of one world in which there has never even been a theory of inter-world travel, so, unfortunately, you will not be able to return home.
The world where you find yourself is technochemical, with the beginnings of the energomagic. Developing external energy, people here often crossed paths with the magic of adjacent dimensions, but once they turned to the technochemical path, they did not forget their past. Technologically, this world is not much superior to yours, and in some ways it is even inferior. But in its history there are events that, having only caught the edge of the Earth, gave impetus and funds for development in some directions that are far ahead of your civilization.
Very different in details, in general this place is very similar to your home world. This message is not an encyclopedia for you, it is not proof that you are not crazy, it is not even a way to bring you up to date. Our message is just an apology. Let, perhaps, unnecessary apologies to you.
We sincerely apologize for what happened, but we could not have done otherwise. The future of the whole world depended on our actions. The lives of twenty-three people, of whom six survived, are not worth the whole world. Forgive us if you can..." — A young Japanese woman in a blue yukata, bowing, melted like a ghost.
