==Contents==
===Plot===
When an unspecified audience “tune in” to the “frequency” of the [[Cupid Homeworld]], [[Doctor Sigma]] takes it upon himself to give an impromptu lecture on the nature of the [[Multiverse]] and interdimensional travel. As he runs out of time and is forced to end the talk, he invites his audience to stick around and read through some of the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]]' [[Cupid Archives|Archives]].

===Worldbuilding===
====Jenny Everywhere====
* A [[Jenny Everywhere#Mentioned by Doctor Sigma|version of Jenny Everywhere]] is seen using [[the Infinite]] to [[shift]] from one universe to the next. She has blue hair, wears [[Jenny Everywhere's goggles|goggles]] with green lenses, a brown jacket, denim pants, red-and-white shoes and a blue [[Jenny Everywhere's scarf|scarf]].
* It is mentioned that [[the Infinite]] is not accessible to any other being in the Multiverse.

====Laura Drake====
* Three versions of [[Laura Drake]] are shown to illustrate the point that any given person has “an infinity of counterparts out there… with varying degrees of similarity between them!”. All three are in the same setting, standing in front of a cityscape and an {{w|Atomium|Atomium}}-like structure. The central one has a standard human colour scheme, while the leftmost one has green skin and hair and the rightmost one is in grayscale.

====Other====
* [[Rift]]s are normally rare. They are also “unpredictable” and “hard to control”.

===Continuity===
