The World of Dicesauria
#2 The Known Events
You were a Great Starfaring Species, exploring and colonising the far reaches of the universe spreading the light advancement technology of quantum-souling. Confident in your limitless possibilities you began to learn how to alter, to manipulate, to saw and stitch, to measure the very fabric of spacetime toying with realities, devouring and reforging worlds and civilizations, planets and whole star systems, rendering the known cosmos your playground.
Till you reached this insignificant, tiny, primal world, of the rather obscure, Barbaralian system, named Dicesauria.
And then it happened.
Was it part of some high-end scientific experiment, was it the fabric of space time finally being worn by your audacious interventions, was it something inherently and absurdly complex about this strange world that caused it. No one knows. What you do know is that the whole ALPHA-FLEET including your Galleon 232 violently crashed on this planet tearing-up the very fabric of reality causing parallel universes to merge and your fleet personnel’s Souls (after all bodies were reduced to less than dust) to be scattered throughout the world's dense atmosphere trapped by its quantum-gravity unable to ascend the Soul-pods and escape back to safety.
IT is known as the GREAT COLLISION EVENT.
Not everything was lost, though. The emergency Soul-chambers (a kind of super-advanced stasis-chamber) of a handful of starships did actually work swiftly, absorbing the crews’ souls into. You were one of those few “lucky" souls.
You now have awakened from a Cryosleep which lasted aeons or just a few hours. You might have lost your body but you haven't lost your Soul. Yet. Plus you still have these weird Stripe Aspect Skins which are good enough I suppose, to walk around in the low gravity environment of Dicesauria and do some funny stuff. And more importantly keep you relatively safe till you find a way out of here!
Of course you were not the only crew whose souls were preserved after the GCE. What is strange, or perhaps logical in a hyper-complex way, is that after the timespace fabric was torn and till it mended itself back to almost normal, time flowed in a terribly uneven way and with great topological variation. Thus for some, a dozen of eons have already passed, yet for others just a few hours have gone by since the GCE while for a few time has even backtracked!
Still, most souls, whether because their Starships cryo-equipment broke-down during the Collision or perhaps because they were gradually absorbed, through the centuries, by Dicesauria’s bulimic nature, became lost. Reclusive spirits hiding into pocket quantum-universes which exist in everything from a rock to a sound wave. These steer and roll and wobble at the presence of other souls forming clusters and affecting the environment. These are called Ghosts…
