Prologue I

Nobody really cared when the announcement first appeared.

Though many were surprised when every electronic device able to transmit information began to play a strange video in different idioms, with nothing happening after many days and the governments denying the rumors, almost everybody chose to ignore it.

A very skilled hacker did it, many said.

Aliens were sending a message, others joked.

Is it the apocalypse? A few announced.

But, when thousands of people began to disappear suddenly from different parts of the world, it was impossible to continue ignoring what was happening.

Pitifully, it was impossible to change what was destined to happen.

“To all of earth’s inhabitants:

According to the law 1513 of the United Dimensional Planes regarding the discovery of new inhabited planes, we are pleased to announce the beginning of earth’s manation project, together with the selection of adequate earthlings to participate in the project L427, titled ‘Dimensional Paradise’.

We thank your complete collaboration and ask the existing governments to begin the preparations for the project.

Any question will be answered for a supervisor. A supervisor will be selected and sent promptly.

Thanks for your understating.

UDP, year 135 from the United Dimensions Agreement.”
