A few weeks later, he found the trail again, lost his tracks at a swamp, but then spotted Dick in person the next morning. Chasing the [[Pulsaton]], Tracker tailed him all the way to a ravine, into which the [[Geometron]] jumped. Looking over the edge, Tracker found that the ravine contained a mysterious dimensional [[Rift]]s hovering high above the actual ground, and decided to jump. He found himself falling out through another Rift in a [[Dimension (The Mad Cupid of the Euclidean Plane)|mysterious “hub dimension”]] whose small landmass was surrounded on all sides by numerous Rifts. The sole building was a cabin where he met an [[old man (The Mad Cupid of the Euclidean Plane)|old man]] who'd been stranded here for ages, too afraid to cross another Rift and risk ending up somewhere dangerous. The cabin contained a number of books on dimensional science of unknown provenance, which allowed the old man to craft [[Prism]]s capable of containing Rifts. | ||
The old man also knew of a way to prevent any more Rifts appearing in this dimension, which was an urgent concern, as too many Rifts would cause [[complete dimensional collapse]] and a shockwave of destruction that would ruin many more universes nearby. However, he couldn't do it alone. Tracker worked for four weeks collecting the necessary minerals and helping the old man craft three of the four Prisms needed, in addition to the prototype he already possessed. Just in the nick of time, they performed the ritual to activate the stabilisation field, which involved the two of them standing at opposite corners of the landmass and slotting two Prisms at a time into their designated pedestals at exactly the same time. Tracker briefly hesitated when he spotted a vulnerable [[Doki Dick]] stepping out of a Rift at the last moment, but he controlled himself and let Dick leave to instead complete the ritual.
