What in hell is really going on down here?
Run it, please.
WOMAN: After the end of fossil fuels,
mankind is faced
with its greatest challenge yet.
With world energy consumption
tripling in the last decade alone,
a new form of sustainable energy is needed,
a system that outshines solar, wind, and even nuclear energy.
After years of research,
we at Alterplex have found
the answer to this energy crisis
by leveraging the immense hidden power
of M-theory,
first proposed by Edward Widden in 1995,
and enhanced by Peter Klintsen's
duplicate matter theory.
M- theory unifies all consistent versions
of superstring theory.
By deconstructing space time
into a higher number of dimensions,
our tower is able to create
a mirrored echo of our local universe...
You're copying the entire universe?
...fo!owing its symmetry
down to every last quantum particle,
with one crucial difference:
the echo universe will be devoid
of organic compounds.
Instead, it will be a life!ess cosmos,
providing a limitless amount of matter
that can be transformed into power.
Acting as a dimensional conductor,
the tower wil! create multiple gravity portals
which will harvest the echo's mass
and convert it into pure electromagnetic energy.
This energy will then be transferred
cleanly and safely into our world,
powering it for mil!ennia to come.
♪♪
I had the exact same face.
- Parallel universes? - An echo universe.
And this here is where you come in.
This is the gate.
It sends you into the echo a safe distance from the tower.
You will be carrying this box.
The box will counterbalance any instabilities
- that might occur in the echo. - Instabilities?
Very simple, though it plugs right into the echo tower.
Someone needs to get it there.
Huh. May I?
And just plug it in?
That's it?
That's it.
There's a terminal at the base of the echo tower.
You jump over, take the box to the tower,
plug it in, and jump back in time for dinner.

No, you stop. Redivider...
What is Redivider?
Huh? What is it?
You sent me here. You sent me here.
Now, you tell me what is Redivider.
It's a classified protocol, a last resort.
When restoring balance is impossible...
the box disables one side altogether.
It destroys the tower.
And this universe.
There's only one option left.
Redivider aborts one universe to ensure the other survives.
Jesus Christ.
This thing is a goddamn kill switch.
