## History

Uncanny Valley previously worked at a research laboratory as a secretary. They had been excited about science and wanted to help the researchers, but their busy job never let them help with experiments. However, they were partly satisfied with the notion that their work was going to help forward scientific progress in some way. One day, Uncanny Valley was contacted by the researchers at the laboratory, and they asked if he would like to be the first trailblazer into the unknown provided by their research project. It seemed that Uncanny Valley was finally getting recognition for their rigorous office work. The project was a semi-stable portal across time and space, and the researchers wanted them to be the first to step through! This was an exciting prospect, but Uncanny Valley was nervous about being lost in an unknown dimension. After all, his coworkers had finally opened up to him, and he was going to have to say goodbye already? The dimensional portal was still a work in progress and could not hold stable coordinates in a single location. Any jump to a specific place in spacetime could be off by a matter of 50 miles and 10 days. The researchers assured Uncanny Valley that while it may take more than a month to find them once crossing over, others would soon follow. However it would not be certain how long it would to to regroup in the new dimension. Uncanny Valley was excited about this opportunity because they knew that once returning home they would be hailed as a scientific pioneer and be well aquatinted with the scientists at their workplace.

The new dimension was strange. It wasn't as drastic as they had expected, but there were lots of little peculiar differences that Uncanny Valley noticed. This place still had the familiarities of their home planet, like trees, lakes, and White Castle, but other things were different. People they had met claim to be provably hundreds of years old, Shmoos roam the plains like livestock, and they still can't figure out what a "ratio" is.

Though, after spending a couple of months in this new place, Uncanny Valley begins to wonder whether they are ever going to reunite with the researchers, and if it wouldn't be so bad if they weren't able to go back after all. They've made so mant new friends, and there's a brand new world out there to enjoy, so enjoy it!

## Trivia

* The grass on Uncanny Valley needs maintenance, and if they go too long without a drink of water, it will begin to dry out. This hasn't happened so far, so they are not even aware of it themselves.

* Uncanny Valley cannot juggle, they tried.
* They began a coin collection, but so far it only contains one each of a penny, nickel, dime, quarter, and a Swiss franc inexplicably found between the couch cushions in their apartment.
