You Can (Not) Contain

Pitch

In 2013, a Foundation deep-sea exploration discovers a pinhole into another universe buried at the bottom of the sea about 200 kilometers off the coast of Australia. Fast-forward six years, and a Scranton Reality Anchor explosion widens said hole into a giant tear, now the staging ground for an invasion by an anomalous syndicate of reality benders attempting to strip-mine the multiverse. With a gun to the world's head and the Veil torn wide open, the Foundation and the rest of the Groups of Interest find themselves working together in an attempt to beat the shit out of their attackers the only way they know how: with giant fucking robots.

Worldbuilding Notes

  • Project Kallisti: The Foundation's revival of Project Olympia, using the basic principles of 'humanoid robot what kills things good' and giving them human operators instead of artificial intelligences like the original Olympia.
    • Specialises in human-size exoskeletons a la Iron Man.
    • At least one team of pilots cloned off from the original Samsara cell line and grafted into their suits
    • Is the original Olympia still out there? The answer is probably, don't know what the fuck she's doing tho. Thought: she's the equivalent of a berserk Evangelion who's kept chained to the slab in the Foundation's equivalent of the GeoFront, stabbed through the chest with a giant fucking Scranton Anchor designed to stop her from just snapping the Overseers into a pocket universe and taking every Foundation Site with her
  • Strike Team -2147483648 ("Overflow"): The Global Occult Coalition's reformed UHEC batallion, expanded from the original Strike Team 9999 ("Max Damage") and given a correspondingly larger numerical designation to represent this.
    • Still cranking out UHECs, which by this point have evolved into the UHEC+, a two-storey monster of reality-anchoring justice
    • Known for dropping in from the clouds using apportation and superhero landing on their targets to crush them flat
  • The Heresiarchs: An outcast sect of the Wanderer's Library composed of a team of various deity-adjacent entities. Currently attempting to collect raw material from other universes for $SINISTER_PURPOSE. Has at least one post-singularity AI in its membership.
