Chapter Four

The Artifact And

The Living

....When a Tangent Universe occurs, those living

nearest to the Vortex will find themselves at the epi-

center of a dangerous new world.

....Artifacts provide the first sign that a Tangent

Universe has occurred.

....If an Artifact occurs, the Living will retrieve it with

great interest and curiosity. Artifacts are formed from

metal, such as an Arrowhead from an ancient Mayan

civilization, or a Metal Sword from Medieval Europe.

....Artifacts returned to the Primary Universe are often

linked to religious iconography; as their appearance on

Earth seems to defy logical explanation.

....Divine Intervention is deemed the only logical con-.

clusion for the appearance of the Artifact.
