In a distant future humanity achieved such a level of technological advancement it was able to breach the borders of three-dimensional reality and move to the multiverses of multidimensions. But some of us were too afraid to move on. So, they stayed...

My consciousness immediately wanted to get inside the reactor. But there, in the dark hall, covered with atomic ash, it turned out to be empty. Indeed, the technology of Outs has not left anything from whale plague patients.
Something moved behind me. And if I had a throat at that moment, I would have swallowed. But nothing like it was observed. I wished again to be far, far away from here, alive and unharmed. And this time my wish came true.
