A-001 The Multiverse

## CACG Item File

Item A-001 is the designation given to the containing structure of both our universe, and every other universe observable by The Group. In all matters, A-001 is universally referred to as the Multiverse. Due to its very nature, containment of A-001 is deemed simultaneously impossible, impractical and unnecessary. Transport between universes contained within A-001 is only possible via the use of Item A-003, "The Gates."

According to current research, it's believed that the universes within A-001 tend to undergo a sort of "life cycle," and even have an anatomy to them. Universes can naturally die, be born, and even get "ill" in a way. The Research Division has led an initiative to chart the anatomy of the universes of A-001. While there's a limited amount of human-charted universes, it's theorized that there's an unfathomable amount of the Multiverse that has only barely been seen, much less explored.

Given the nearly infinite size and scope of A-001, entire facilities have been dedicated towards cartographing its many worlds, providing a semi-reliable map of the Multiverse known as the "Index." Copies of the most recent cartographic archives are to be kept at both The Vault and GEO-7's Multiversal Operations Wing. In recent times, exploring the Multiverse isn't a priority for the Group. However, funds have been set aside for independent explorers in exchange for information and charts on the universes they explore. Upon cross-referencing and validity checks, this information is then added to the Index.

## Note from Dr. Kam

Hello there, I was given high-level access by the Director of the CACG to make this note. I would also like to add in a few things about the multiverse from what we, the Seraphim, know.

* There are several organizations that are prominent in the multiverse. The two largest organizations, dubbed as Superpowers, are the Syndicate, and our own, the Seraphim. A few universes are allied with either group whether it be by complete control, or in rebellion of the Syndicate,
* There are around 36 universes we have discovered. Out of these 36, 24 are habitable and hold life. The others are full of dangerous energies that cannot be survived by any species,
* We have a special wormhole device that indexes universes that able to be transported to. Our device, dubbed the "Cornerstone" is able to help us go to other worlds, which is actually how we got here.
* The multiverse seems to have other entities that govern it. Larger than we could possibly fathom. A normal human being would have their synapses collapse upon trying to look at them. We here at the Seraphim have dubbed them the Pillars of Reality. Beings and objects that defy everything we know and could possibly destroy us with a thought. I will share more information about them in an official post.

Here are the current number of Universes each organization holds in posession (out of 24 discovered):

* Syndicate: 9
* Seraphim: 8
* Camelot Anomalous Containment Group: 1

The original largest organization of universes was the Ataros Empire, which held more than 70 at its peak. Following the Empire's disbandment millennia later, these universes have remained uncharted by both the Syndicate and Seraphim. It's assumed the Empire was located within another "Wing" of the Multiverse, which they held control of.

That's all I'll put for now, I feel as thought the CACG will benefit well with inquiring information from us here at the Seraphim. Collaborative acts together can help us combat the Syndicate and even save the multiverse as we know it, and possibly even unlock the mysteries of the Pillars, especially the Mark.Dr. Kam logging off.
