Huh? What?

If you mean the game, every universe eventually has to make its own copies of Sburb somewhere or someway another. The trolls got their version by cribbing the kids, the kids got their version in the mail.

Skaianet logo.

Thought they were responsible for the creation of the game, ectobiology, appearifying and all that jazz?

[Ecks]

I thought the trolls put theirs together by Sollux and Aradia working together to translate and code the game via the mystic ruins.

Also what the hell do you mean by cribbing the kids, I am unfamiliar with that colloquialism.

[Karrrrrrrrrrrresche]

I thought you meant the universe to make all universes.

But, it's sort of weird to think of stuff in "Original". The linear progression of time doesn't seem to apply when we've got so many stable timeloops running. Not the least of which is that the trolls created the kids universe which scratched into the Alpha universe but they only created that universe in Sburb, which they got from Sollux fixing up a copy they had received from the universe they had created, which had apparently received those copies from a scratched version of the universe.

[Ryong]

I'd say the universe where the game was created and distributed would be the "original", if it's the only way to create other universes.

[Karrrrrrrrrrrresche]

I think it's equally valid to say the universe that created the other universe is the original.
But then we go into the loop, see?

[Arcanum]

Karesh the hell are you talking about? SGRUB originates from the combined code-like symbols on the walls of the two frog ruins, which originate from within their SGRUB session.

Same for the kids. The code to make the game is found on the walls of the Frog Ruins, which originate from the SBURB session.

Every session has the blueprints for creating the game that allows the players to enter the session, which is sent to the planet in question via skaian defense portals.

There are a lot of parallels between the Alpha and Beta human universes because they are essentially the same universe. Skaianet is just one of those parralels.

[Karrrrrrrrrrrresche]

Huh.
I can't remember where I got the idea but I could swear Aradia got the codes from Earth and sent them along to Sollux to fix it up.

[Ecks]

No, she got Cal, part of a dead aradiabot, the wallet modus, and the Crosbytop from earth via cross session time shenanigans and bec noir being a huge asshole

[Arcanum]

And she then sent Cal to get fixed up by Kanaya.

I think we just discovered which events you have been subconsciously merging in your mind.
