On January 3rd 2009, an anomaly in space time sent out unprecedented waves of energy, disrupting the quantum field that holds the Metaverse in balance. Portals began malfunctioning, trapping beings, objects and entire Realms into a state of quantum superposition - stuck between the physical and the digital, neither here nor there.

Engineers in the Heliotrope District developed 5,000 QuantPods to maintain the portal fields, while they figured out how to recover all that was trapped within. On 12.12.21 the QuantPods need to be docked at Quantpod.X or they will run out of energy and the beings, Realms and objects trapped within will be lost forever.
