([[COMIC]]: ''[[Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids (comic story)|Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids]]'')]]The '''Rifts''' were rips in the fabric of spacetime which once spread like a disease throughout the whole [[multiverse]], and event known as '''the Rifts Crisis'''. | ||
== History == | |||
=== Origins === | |||
There were many potential starting point for the Rifts, most of which righted themselves in time, without halting the spread of the Rifts in other dimensions. They included a Rift-making machine built by a “bull-guy”, dangerous chemical manipulations by a juvenile [[space behemoth]] called [[Fyargathaaark865blububurgh$1gkzo]], and reckless time-travelling by a [[The Doctor|man with a bowtie]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Grand Multiverse Hotel (short story)|The Grand Multiverse Hotel]]'') The spread of the Rifts was accelerated by the activities of a sort of interdimensional sect called the [[Consistency Imperium]], who were manipulated by the mad alchemist [[Mandragora-257]]. Mandragora also built a [[Mandragora's Machine|Machine]] designed to be activated once the damage to the [[Multiverse]] had become critical, to complete the work of destroying it altogether.

[[Pythagoras-858]], whom this Jenny encountered while looking for the Imperium's home base, already knew something of the Rifts, which had cut him off from [[Cupid Homeworld|his homeworld]]. After learning Jenny had a lead, he decided to join forces with her and the two departed to seek out the Imperium together. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids (comic story)|Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids]]'') | === Effects === | ||
Some Rifts connected dimensions. They allowed, on several individual occasions, the [[Faction of the Fooling Fish]] (who, at the time, did not yet possess an interdimensional mode of transport of their own) to cross over from the [[Prime Universe]] to the [[Cupid Homeworld]]. However, a Rift could also hinder the functioning of normal dimensional transports; after too large a Rift appeared in the Cupid Homeworld, it began to block [[Fog Ship]] dematerialisation, sealing off the Cupids in their own Homeworld.

The Rifts caused some universes to unravel and, at any rate, made travel between them more difficult. As a result, many versions of [[Jenny Everywhere]] temporarily lost the ability to [[shifting|shift]] and to tap into each other's knowledge, lest they go mad or fall out of reality completely; many more of Jenny's selves died than had in living memory. [[Jenny Everywhere#Adventures with the Cupids|One version]] of Jenny who had retained the ability to shift investigated the Rifts' origins and discovered that they seemed to be caused by the activities of a sort of interdimensional sect called the [[Consistency Imperium]]: wherever they went, Rifts appeared or worsened.

=== End of the Crisis === | |||
[[Pythagoras-858]], whom this Jenny encountered while looking for the Imperium's home base, already knew something of the Rifts, which had cut him off from [[Cupid Homeworld|his homeworld]]. After learning Jenny had a lead, he decided to join forces with her and the two departed to seek out the Imperium together. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids (comic story)|Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids]]'') Although parting ways with Jenny at [[Hilbert's]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Grand Multiverse Hotel (short story)|The Grand Multiverse Hotel]]'') Pythe ultimately made it to the Imperium's base of operations, where he met up with three other [[Clockwork Cherub]]s, [[Marksmanship-522]], [[Tracker-764]] and [[Bibliophile-962]], as well as [[the Hound]]. They discovered that Mandragora had indeed infiltrated the Imperium. They helped ensure his plan backfired, however, with his Machine imploding and taking the Imperium's base with him. The Rifts were subsequently closed by the bevy of powerful beings who had rallied to the Cupids' cause, including [[Madame Tarsa]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Rifts Crisis Officially Over!
