HEADQUARTERS OF THE COSMIC ALLIANCE

"The 616th meeting of the Empyrean Council is now in session. Please maintain your silence while the representative is speaking. Galacti Empire, you may take the floor." ordered the speaker, a neutral party and peacemaker on the Empyrean Council.

" We are gathered here today to discuss the ruptures that have been detected in the fabric of our Universe -777. After the discovery of alternate realities and mini- universes that resemble ours, we have detected that when a living creature puts their thoughts into action, a small world resembling their fantasy has always been created. These mini worlds themselves do not pose a problem, if they continue their originally intended story lines. The problem arises when external factors affect the flow of the story which destroy these worlds before its time. This premature destruction in turn cause ripples in our original universe, as we have discovered that there are various wormholes connecting 777 to these fantasy worlds. The first rupture was discovered near a small uninhabitable mining planet belonging to the Galacti Empire. This was just the first of many similar ruptures that were caused by the early deaths of millions of fantasy worlds and larger the world, greater the tear in our Universe. As such, we cannot curtail the freedom of though for our citizens and so Galacti would like to discuss with the rest of the council about any possible solutions." Spoke the delegate from the Galacti Empire, one of the most scientifically advanced race in the universe.

" We cannot stop people from thinking; hence we need alternate solutions. Has any cosmic empire found out why these worlds are collapsing or why their original time line is changing?" questioned the speaker.

"We have found out that after a creator finishes their story, the world is formed, and the story begins as per the timeline. Sometimes near the end, time reverses and the story restarts. We cannot identify when these worlds have a natural death. Some worlds died when the story finished once; some , a few times and the others repeated thousands of times before natural death. But in the latter situations, some protagonists remembered their past lives and make different choices than what the creator intended, thus leading to the premature destruction of the world. Another situation we have encountered is that the souls of the dead from our Universe somehow ended up possessing bodies of people from these worlds replacing the original soul and then the entire story changes. If these worlds were systems, I would call these transmigrated souls - bugs that destroy these worlds, which is our main concern in comparison to the former case of rebirth." explained the delegate from Earth.

"if we cannot curtail the creators then we can only protect these worlds from within. Can we not send trained people in to ensure the time line does not change?" questioned the Darkii representative.

"How will that help?! They cannot stop a transmigrated soul unless they kill the physical body and then the whole story gets derailed!" exclaimed the Galacti.

" But the Darkii delegate does indeed have a point. With our current technology we can only solve these situations from within. But if we cannot send a person physically then we can only fight fire with fire."

"What do you mean Earthling. Explain your proposal with more detail." commanded the speaker.

"I think the Galacti would understand me better. I'm speaking about that piece of forbidden technology created by your people around a century ago. The machine that manipulates the soul energy of living creatures. I'm sure you Galacti still have a few lying around."

"What nonsense! Do not slander us! That technology was banned by the council years ago. We abide by all rules of the cosmic alliance!"

" I'm sure what he meant was that you may still have a few blueprints which might be useful to us in this case. Fighting transmigrator with transmigrator. We can even insert a mini soul chip to destroy the infiltrator. Once the story line seems fixed, then we can retrieve our personnel. Only thing we must ensure is that any butterfly effects caused must be negligible. After the work is done, the world can be put under observation." the woman from Arachni mediated peace between the two empires on the verge of a full-blown argument.

The speaker mulled over the suggestion for a few moments. " This is indeed feasible. We will further discuss these plans in detail. By the end of this session I require a solid plan from your empires and not another session date! Please be serious or else we will be facing the death of our Universe."
