In the year 2109, scientists in the US made an accidental discovery
during a experiment, which would have lasting effects in the decades
to come.

Somehow, the experiment resulted in that a short-lived 'hole' was
established between our reality and another. But while the hole
existed only for a few seconds, it was long enough for something to
be pulled through.

Only part of the object made it-- but much to the shock of those
brought in to investigate the object, it was identified as part of a
White Star spaceship. The significance of establishing brief contact
with a universe thought to be fictional struck hard.

And it was decided that further studies should be made of what had
happened, as it was thought that immense advantages in military
technology might be made if it was possible to generate such holes
between realities under controlled circumstances.

Then, in the year 2187, the process was perfected-- to the extent that
a 'hole' could be made to last for as long as a full two minutes and
without damaging anything that was pulled through. Certainly it took
immense amounts of energy and what came through wasn't always
usefull, but enough was to make the project expenses worthwhile.

All that changed when something horrific came through at the project's
main site-- a creature only partially corporeal that proved quite
capable of dealing with whatever the staff at the base threw at it.
Then it began methodically explored outwards from the base in a
widening circle. Those it did not kill, it left insane or altered
into twisted versions of their former selves.

Within a few weeks however, it became quite clear that it would not be
possible to deal with the creature by any means known to mankind. And
therefore the leaders of the US turned to the secondary site in
desperation-- hoping to be able to get something or someone that
might help them.

So there's where we'll begin.

Original characters from any fictional, published world are welcome.

So far we have a dragonrider from Pern, a Herald from Valdemar, an elf
and a character from Simon Hawke's Wizard of Fourth Street.
