 ===Plot ===
-[[Jenny Everywhere]] has disappeared — not just one of her but apparently ''all'' of her, every Jenny Everywhere in every reality! Her various friends and allies start looking for her. The first is [[Jenny Anywhere#Looking for Everywhere|Jenny Anywhere]], who, convinced that [[Jenny Nowhere]] must be responsible, defeats [[Jenny Nowhere#Defeated by Anywhere|one incarnation]] of her in combat and then tries to interrogate her. However, Nowhere makes it clear that she does not have the power to do such a thing, and wouldn't want to anyway; her existence would become meaningless if she had no Everywhere to oppose. Anywhere goes and checks her usual meeting-place with Everywhere one more time, in vain.

 In [[Universe B (Jenny Everywhere and the Lord of Hell)|another universe]], [[Laura Drake#Summoning Lord Grallyx|Laura Drake]] is worried about [[Jenny Everywhere#Summoning Lord Grallyx|her Jenny]]'s unexplained disappearance. Using technology covertly borrowed from [[Altern Corporation|her employers]], she creates an interdimensional portal guided by her thoughts and jumps in. After donning some protective equipment, she jumps in.

 ===Continuity===
-* [[Jenny Anywhere#Looking for Everywhere|Jenny Anywhere]] uses [[Shift-preventing chain|shift-proof chains]] to bind [[Jenny Nowhere#Defeated by Anywhere|Jenny Nowhere]] in place. Such chains were previously seen in [[PROSE]]: ''[[Jenny Everywhere and the Lord of Hell (short story)|Jenny Everywhere and the Lord of Hell]]''. The versions of [[Jenny Everywhere#Summoning Lord Grallyx|Jenny Everywhere]] and [[Laura Drake#Summoning Lord Grallyx|Laura Drake]] primarily featured are also the ones from that story.

 * [[Michael Wherever|Micheal Wherever]] and [[the Illumination]] were created by [[Benj Christensen]] for ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles (comic story)|The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles]]'', where they crewed aboard the ''[[Wilson]]'' with [[Jenny Everywhere#Onboard the Wilson|a Jenny Everywhere]]. The characters also visit [[the Infinite]], which was first seen in that story, and [[Chaos]] is mentioned as potentially being an aspect of [[the Fallen One]].
 * The “seaside town” which is “one of Jenny's oldest haunts”, and is noted to be home to a pier and a [[Cuppa Cha Cha Cha|coffee shop]] which were both places where Jenny would often hang out, is a transparent allusion to [[Right-On By The Sea]], the setting of two of the earliest [[Jenny Everywhere]] stories ever: [[COMIC]]: ''[[Name's Not Down (comic story)|Name's Not Down]]'' and [[COMIC]]: ''[[Damn Fine Hostile Takeover (comic story)|Damn Fine Hostile Takeover]]''.
