关于裂隙的起源，我们了解多少？少得可怜。诺切克声称，裂隙诞生于1945年，当时一座被魔王附身的城堡位移至此，并遭到摧毁。（一派胡言！）
那么裂隙本身呢？例如三号裂隙，它似乎是通往另一个宇宙的裂缝，那里的宇宙大爆炸从未越过普朗克时刻，始终处于不断膨胀和坍缩的循环中。想象一下，如果我们能让它稳定下来，那将是多么巨大的能量！七号裂隙则是时间不稳定的“流动盛宴”，不断开启和关闭通往过去、甚至是未来的“窗口”。十三号裂隙渗出红雾（巴欧博士已实施隔离），而四号裂隙呈完美的螺旋状，符合欧几里得的黄金比例。
无论这些裂隙的性质如何，有一点我们可以确定，它们都与零号裂隙相连，那是所有裂缝中最大、最稳定的一道。零号裂隙增长，其余的裂隙也随之增长。而一旦它关闭，这个项目就将永远消失。
英文原文
What do we know about the origin of the rifts? Disappointingly little. Norček claim that they were created in 1945 when a displaced castle possessed by a demon king was destroyed. (Utter rot!)
What of the rifts themselves? Rift 3, for example, appears to be a tear into a universe where the Big Bang never makes it past the Planck moment, constantly expanding and coallescing. Imagine the power, if we could somehow stabilise it! Rift 7 is a moving feast of temporal instability, constantly opening and closing ‘windows’ to the past and maybe even the future. Rift 13 seeps red mist, (Dr Bowe has imposed a quarantine) and Rift 4 appears as a perfect spiral, following Euclid’s golden ratio.
Whatever the nature of these ruptures, what we can say with certainty is this: that they are all connected to Rift 0, the largest and most stable of all the fractures. As it grows, so do they. And were it to close, this project would be lost forever.
