It all started in the year 3050, when our team of highly-trained, yet slightly incompetent, engineers attempted to build a machine that could travel faster than the speed of light.
The machine, dubbed "Project Parallel," was a behemoth of a device that took up an entire city block and had a budget that rivaled the GDP of a small country.
However, things quickly went awry when the machine began to malfunction, causing it to create a rift in the fabric of space-time that was so large it could be seen from orbit.
• The city of New York was consumed by a massive, reality-bending anomaly that caused alligators to rain from the sky.
• The global economy took a hit as the world's supply of artisanal, small-batch mayonnaise was disrupted.
• The parallel universe next door, which had been quietly observing us for years, was forced to reevaluate its opinion of humanity as a competent species.
