The Mathematician's Lament
Years before Molly, Lex, Diego and Karl found a new home and new purpose in Everwhere, Doctor Julius Langstrom was a simple academic dedicated to understanding the fundamental forces of the universe. When his nephew Rene and Rene's friend Lucrezia come to visit, Langstrom shows them his latest theory: that there may exist other worlds than these, ripe for the taking. But what starts as a hesitant experimental jaunt becomes something much more dangerous when the trio come into contact with a mysterious being known as The Grand Architect, a mind without a body capable of bending the world to one's dreams...or nightmares. This is the birth of The Everwhere, but in a world without Wills and Ways, and no easy way to return home or take charge of this strange new frontier.
