Intro

The word "people" may be problematic, as this category includes most actors with a specific identity.

Dimensions

Intro

Other worlds quite unlike our own...

Dimension designations appear to be five-symbol codes with three numbers followed by two letters.

TODO:

for each of these items "known unknown" seems like a fine answer

• Determine if there is a canonical spelling of "netherum"
• Determine if "sub-scape" is a manner of speaking, or refers to something different than dimension designate
• Does "prime" have a fixed meaning in this context?
• Does the game reference any sub-scape other than Sub-scape 27?

List of Instances

• 000XE - Two lab notes referencing. Dr. Takatoshi retrieves samples laced with XE037 from this dimension designate.
• 001AA - A single lab note is the only reference to this dimension designate: "Admin asked us to vivisect a bunch of samples from 001AA today. It was boring, as predicted."
• 020XE
• 021XC
• 021XE
• 040AA
