Yanos Solong sat at the control panel of the ESME, the endlessly transforming 4-dimensional molecule that served as the Eventuality Survey Team's base of operations, playing a game of chess with the S.C.R.I.B.E. unit and watching the display screens. While on the surface everything appeared normal, Yanos had an impending feeling that an encroaching eventuality would soon present itself for investigation.
At the very moment that Yanos decided to castle on the king's side, an electronic buzzer sounded and the voice of ESME filled the cabin:
There is a new eventuality fold in the XBox Live community that I think you should take a look at, sir.
Sweeping the chess game off the coffee table for the moment, Yanos told the computer to display the relevant information from the Xbox Live server, but was greeted instead by an image of himself, looking slightly more unkempt, but otherwise identical.
"Yanos, this is Yanos + 48 hours on your current timestream. I've interrupted your vector to inform you that a highly important game named Braid has been released on Xbox Live. As you know, this occurrence has been highly anticipated among researchers into parallel timelines and alternate realties. The designer, Jonathan Blow, has produced a groundbreaking work, a training program for interdimensional travelers that is also a profound meditation into the nature of time and memory. I'm pleased to award Jonathan with the Medal of Infinite Density, and I want to thank him for providing humanity with his insight. Braid will become part of the Science Patrol Academy's virtualization training course, required playing for all enlightened beings. Now go forth and explore all vectors within the tenth-dimensional lightcone of existence. Solong out."
