《Tautology》Welcome to Earth Bulwark!

Welcome to Earth Bulwark!
Were you subjected to a dimensional anomaly?
Do you find yourself in an almost earthlike world, but there are significant differences to your own reality?
Then you may be in an alternate universe!
Since the first appearance of parahumans, the existence of a wider multiverse has indeed been confirmed. While direct Gates to these locations remain a very rare anomaly, they have been increasing in frequency, as are the manifestations of parahumans. The United Nations Government has already classified our reality as Earth Alpha. (Addendum: Since contacting the Earth Multiverse Council, it’s been revealed that there are currently 15, 17, 29, 40, 63, 89 other earth like dimensions that have classified themselves as Earth Alpha. Negotiations are underway to ensure that we end up as Earth Alpha, but until a resolution is reached we cannot use the name.)
There are many other earths that can be contacted through a Gate! Each with their own unique designation and characteristics! Explore the alien but familiar earths of the multiverse!
But if you end up on Earth Bulwark then you are fucked.
Earth Bulwark is currently the only earth identified to be connected to the wider multiverse. It is connected to non-earthlike dimensions, places where earthlike physics and logic do not apply. It is also the only earthlike world to experience Bleed due to constantly being under the interference of different physics. Before Bulwark’s discovery, the Bleed phenomena remained only a theory.
If you end up on Earth Bulwark, euthanasia is your best option, unless you are a baseline human, in which case it is the only option. Due to highly altered physics and logic, it is completely inhospitable to humans. Its reality frequently experiences irrational and impossible logic that alters every factor of the world. The current record for a normal human to survive on Earth Bulwark is 0.073 seconds, after which irrecoverable change occurs to their body.

If you survive and adapt to the Bleed of Earth Bulwark, then I am sorry, but you can no longer be considered human.
Your body, and the alien Bleed it possesses will be considered a Class 12 Reality Hazard.
Yes, the classification does usually only go up to Class 3.
No, the Class 12 designation is not incorrect.
But if you do, by some extremely rare, and near impossible chance, successfully adapt to Earth Bulwark’s reality, then you must for the sake of the common human good, attempt to establish communications between Earth Bulwark and the wider earth multiverse.
There is a simple reason. Mounting evidence suggests that Earth Bulwark is alone holding back the wider multiverse from manifesting in other earthlike dimensions. If Earth Bulwark falls, Gates to significantly more dangerous realities will begin manifesting in other earthlike worlds. Currently the main threat of the multiverse is interdimensional war, but if Earth Bulwark falls, then the greatest threat will be the mere presence of other dimensions. Bleed will affect your world, and change it irrevocably and unrecognisably.
A darker theory posits that there have been many Earth Bulwarks, perhaps thousands, millions, or infinite. When each one fell, the line against the alien realities was pushed back to another earth, then another, and another. Until one just happened to stop it. Perhaps due to something special about that specific earth, or simply by sheer chance. Whatever is the case, Earth Bulwark cannot be allowed to fall. No other earth currently possesses the capability to combat Gates and Bleed on the same scale as we suspect they are.
So, if you make it to Earth Bulwark, make yourself welcome.
We’re all depending on you.
