QD:Season 2, Chapter 22. (Planet Eidolon meets Harry Hembock)



Three Million AD.
The "Quantum Dissolve", universe.

Planet Eidolon fired her particle data packets at 1985 and 2005, creating Omneron and Commander Continuum.

And in that same instant, a tiny "ping!", in the fabric of space-time was created as well.

A "ping!", that reverberated across all dimensions in the multiverse.


1996.
Universe Kajillion.
Known to us as the "Harry Hembock Classics", universe.

Harry Hembock worked at the console of his teleporter.
Also known as the matter transmitter.
Also known as the quantum dissolver.

Just then, Harry detected a "ping!".

Harry's hands flew across the QWERTY keyboard, then flipped a bank of switches, and turned some dials.

He traced the "ping!", to a quantum dimensional source, tuned the beam to its inter-spatial coordinates, picked up the sandwich sized metal remote control box from a hidden compartment in the console, pressed some buttons on the remote, and dissolved in a wave of whirling green and purple globular lights.


Three Million AD.
The "Quantum Dissolve", universe.

Harry materialized in another wave of globular lights.

He stood in a room full of banks of computers.
One of billions of such identical rooms.

He tapped some buttons on his remote, and used the teleport back home as a scanner, and scanned one of the computer banks.
A translator lock cracked the code in the circuits, lifting the data right out of them, and accessed info on how transmitters worked here.
The remote emulated that signal, and then directly accessed the computer banks.

Eidolon hacked back, and accessed how teleporters worked.

Then, sent the data back to herself in the past.


Three Million AD.
The "Quantum Dissolve", universe.

Harry materialized in another wave of globular lights.

He stood in a room full of banks of computers.
One of billions of such identical rooms.

But now, something was different.
Now, there was a teleporter in the center of the room made out of Eidolon tech.

Harry set down his remote, and picked up the remote to this new teleport.

It served as the whole console, and lifted out.
Instead of hard buttons, it used a glasses-less 3-D touch screen.

Harry clumsily poked around in its interface for a few minutes, and felt like he was starting to make some headway.

Just then, a blue laser shot out of the screen, and swept over him in two passes.
One right to left, one top to bottom.

The device acquired his quantum dimensional signature, and fired up a cross-temporal link.


2010.
November 25th.
The "Dark Designs", universe.

Harry and Spruce stood on the surface of a giant dimensional grapefruit.
A giant British science fiction luminary stared down at them with bored indifference.

"Well I'll be goddamned", said Spruce.

"Jinkies!", said Harry.

Just then, a blue wave of fine sand-sized sparkles rinsed Harry away.
And left behind a whiff of blueberry scent.


1997.
Universe Kajillion.
Known to us as the "Harry Hembock Classics", universe.
Episode "Conclusion".
Page 148.

"You're going down!", said Harry to his evil half brother, Brian Robber.

Harry grabbed the Ya-Ya Of Power, a golden trophy saturated with cosmic energies.
Brian Robber was also holding it, and they struggled for it.

"Hey, that's my Ya-Ya!!", Brian shouted with irritation.

Two men drawing off the Ya-Ya's power at the same time caused a feedback, and it exploded in their hands.

Harry lay on the ground groaning with pain.

Brian too lay on the ground, but his eyes immediately snapped open, and saw the Ya-Ya as nothing left but a cracked base, a scattering of shards, and a singe mark on the ground.

"Aww shit, you broke it!", he snarled through grit teeth.

Brian picked up the useless remains of the Ya-Ya, and calmly said "well, now the world is going to explode".

"Oops", Harry mumbled awkwardly.

Just then, a blue wave of fine sand-sized sparkles rinsed Harry away.
And left behind a whiff of blueberry scent.

Seconds later, the world exploded.


2014.
May 4th.
The "Quantum Dissolve", universe.
Chapter 26. (Jade Shade meets Harry Hembock).

JS hopped down from a nearby fire escape, startling the man momentarily.

The figure put his fists on his his hips, and said in a reedy voice "s'okay, man, I got this one".
How in the hell this guy just whupped a mugger would be a mystery for the ages.

"So, I take it you're supposed to be Harry Hembock", JS deadpanned.

"The one and only", the man said through a shit eating grin.

Just then, a blue wave of fine sand-sized sparkles rinsed Harry away.
And left behind a whiff of blueberry scent.


Three Million AD.
The "Quantum Dissolve", universe.

Harry clumsily poked around in its interface for a few minutes, and felt like he was starting to make some headway.

Just then, a blue laser shot out of the screen, and swept over him in two passes.
One right to left, one top to bottom.

The device acquired his quantum dimensional signature, and fired up a cross-temporal link.

A blue wave of fine sand-sized sparkles passed over Harry, and his duplicates from "Quantum Dissolve", "Dark Designs", and "Harry Hembock Classics", materialized in the same spot, and fused with him.
He absorbed their memories as smoothly as if they were things he always knew, and just now remembered.

With their experiences, he was suddenly able to crack the control pad, and punched up a new combination.

The sparkles swept over him again, and took him away.


2016.
October 31st.
The "Quantum Dissolve", universe.

Eidolon stood behind the counter at Lovely's.
She toyed around on her tablet, reading the Halloween 6 post on Shmegalamonga.
Meanwhile, Dwindle browsed the tapes, laughing at ones with bad titles.

Eidie had a blueberry potpourri brewing that was making all the merchandise smell like it.
The potpourri was called "Ennui".

Dwindle had a tape playing in the background called "God Offal Offal", an old Offal concert where he was doing a riff on being a mop boy at an orgy at an old folk's home.

Eidie rolled her eyes.
She didn't like Offal.
Dwindle liked that it pissed her off, and giggled.

Just then, there was a blue flash outside, and a strange man strolled in holding a weird looking tablet computer.

Eidolon recognized him as some sort of Harry Hembock cos-player.
He looked to be in his 40's, so he seemed a bit old for trick or treat.

She then reasoned he might be there for auditions in JS's club.

Harry aimed his tablet at Eidie's tablet, and pushed some virtual buttons.
Her tablet lit up with multiple downloads that completed in seconds, and changed the interface around.

"Hey, what the fuck, man!!?", she exclaimed with horror that he could hack her.

"Don't worry, it's good stuff. It'll change the future. Which is fine, because the original timeline without my help looked like a drab bummer anyway".

Eidolon looked at her tablet, and saw some strange references to "Planet Eidolon", and a future copyright date that couldn't possibly be real.

Steve Ellicott came out from the back room, and Dusty Irwin walked in returning some JS fan-film tapes.

Steve, Dusty, Eidie, and Harry all stared at each other for a couple awkward confused moments, and Harry, ever the chatterbox, was the one that broke the silence.

"Okay, this is a long weird story, but I can prove all of it...".

Okay, my brain just exploded. The wrapped-back-on-itself universe is now wrapped back on several universes. LOL. Bravo!

So, do we now have an honest-to-God Harry Hembock in the QD universe? *gets goosebumps*

Yep, that's him. He's back.
