THE HISTORY THUS FAR

Earthlings have discovered Entropia Universe. Space travelers who had uncovered the magical land of Calypso on Entropia Universe had opened the floodgates of additional space travel as millions of people came looking for a better world. Scientific advancements at a faster pace than on Earth were only a piece of the puzzle – a mindset and new way of thinking seemed to be in this universe. People began to venture out from Calypso to see if other worlds existed in this Universe.

On a special day a group of 16 space travelers from Calypso were exploring outer space when they saw a planet they believed no one had seen before. It lay on the outer edge of the Universe and it was in planetary sync with a larger planet Neihrous, thus not visible from Calypso or from the space nearby. Because of their location there was a shadow that appeared to be an undiscovered planet, they decided to look closer.

The planet had an enormous gravitational pull and soon these explorers had little control of their spaceship as it neared the new world. These explorers once from Earth but part of the wave of interplanetarians who left Earth in search of a better way to live, noticed something extraordinary – this planet – while ten million miles from Earth resembled it from their space descent – the continents looked the same – save some major rippling chasms almost like portals in several locations. The team could not control their flight in – the landing was happening without them.

The spaceship landed in a place similar to the South Pacific on Earth in a blue green lagoon close to a beautiful island that looked like an island in Micronesia. The spaceship portal opened as it was sinking and the team got out and swam to shore. This could not be Earth – that planet was millions of miles away. But it looked similar to Earth – a place they had not seen in 10 years. They decided to call it Elysium – paradise.

They could not explore this planet – there was no method to transport themselves around and no way to go home. Their communicators were damaged on the descent – only one communicator could faintly work. They sent a message back to Calypso to get help but those at home might not find this place. When the communicator was dead – it had some unexplained way to connect to Earth. Wow – they could not connect 50,000 miles away but they could connect 10 million miles away? One of the team, a scientist, surmised that this could be a parallel universe – one of those eleven dimensions that they had heard about but no one had ever encountered. They asked those who answered on Earth to try to find them on this new land, told them it felt like paradise and gave them planetary directions to get to Entropia Universe. Would the earthlings come and join in this new discovery?

They swam to shore, a white sandy beach, that could in fact be in front of the gates of paradise. They noticed some human-like creatures there. They must be natives. What were they like – would they be friendly? One native in loincloth snapped his fingers and poof a fire was lit on his hand. He laughed in a bellow style. He bowed and welcomed the team onto the island. He threw his hand out and a jetty jutted out to greet them. One member of the team said “what happens next?” and the team leader smiled and said. “that‘s what we shall call this place “Next Island”.

They began to walk with the tribal chief towards the town. In the distance, one of the team said that they thought they saw a jeep moving away with a man who looked like General George Patten sitting alongside his driver. Was this a mirage or was this World War Two or was there some sort of time travel on Elysium? Soon they knew they would find out.

The saga was just beginning. The story would continue as these pioneers explored this new world, and be joined by others, possibly millions of others might find their way to this new and promising land. Imagine the possibilities? Will you be one of the pioneers? Could you handle yourself in a parallel universe or a paradise? I am only a historian, the scribe – along for the ride.
