BACKSTORY:

PH-AI-M45.1.9 "Monitor Veracity" was created in Factory OC.M.R.1, a subterranean complex designed to build Mechanica's latest and greatest robots. Outfitted with AI 1.9, the most reliable and tame AI system on-market, Monitor Veracity is a surveyor with a single goal in existence, assigned by the Cloudmind itself in E2Y3: Observe, establish, and prepare. The machine's mission was assigned: Penetrate the dimensional brane using experimental Project Hygiene tech, observe the resulting environment, establish a base camp, send a message back through the brane, and pave the way for a full colonization effort consisting of a cohort of Project Hygiene's harvesters to strip the dimension of its resources and set up the next brane jump to continue the march of progress.

Braneworld λ-5, just another stop on the way to the edge. PH-AI-M45.1.9 looked over the terrain, eyes making a quiet whizzing noise as they focused on a distant point. The industrial landscape dominated the surface of the world, but that was to be expected. A faraway rumble sounded as one of the Neumanns powered up and began crawling across the landscape. Perhaps a promising ore vein had been found.

In a single year, PH-AI-M45.1.9 had trecked across close to a hundred other braneworlds, always headed towards the edge, where the Seismics had reported a new brane. Expansion through λ would continue as planned, but a new brane and new frontier were always promising. Changing physical constants and dimensions always led to interesting discoveries.

The Seismics had officially designated the new brane as μ-1. Constants were different, but habitable, and thus the survey mission had been declared. As PH-AI-M45.1.9 made its way through the noisy industrial machine city, other machines, mostly harvesters and assemblers, few of them bipedal, moved out of the way to give it the most direct path to the soft spot where brane touched brane. The city overmind must have been informed of the priority mission.

PH-AI-M45.1.9 arrived at the bunker where the jump machines were located. As it descended down into the earth, it ran diagnostics once more to ensure all systems were ready for the strenuous jump through. Organics couldn't use jumps to travel through the branes, but there was rarely reason for them to do so. Most braneworlds didn't support life, and out of the few hundred colonized, only a dozen had lifeforms, and of those, only a primitive tribal civilization had arisen. There had been initial resistance to the colonization, but now they lived quite happily in the technocracy that had organically developed and colonization continued.
The elevator reached its destination and PH-AI-M45.1.9 stepped out into a gleaming monomol corridor. A few hundred meters through a series of reinforced gates and it had arrived in front of the humming brackets of the jump machine. 98% charged. Technicians, replete with their enhanced intellect nodes, crawled over the machinery, performing checks and ensuring nothing would go wrong. The last jump malfunction had torn the braneworld in half, and it was not something that the Cloudmind wished to see repeated.

PH-AI-M45.1.9 and the technicians made their way into the shielded partition as the brane penetration began. Behind the 20 foot metal brackets, a coil began revving up. Once at 100,000RPM, it spun a glowing coil at its head, and fired a single pulse of exotic particles directly forward, where the pulse was slammed down on by the brackets with planck precision. The brackets separated once more, the titanic motors drawing them open smoking with the effort of tearing a hole in the universe. As the chamber grew awash with radiation that would instantly kill an organic, PH-AI-M45.1.9 stepped out of shielding and walked between the brackets into the horrifically bright, all-consuming tear in reality. The gap snapped shut as PH-AI-M45.1.9 stepped through, and PH-AI-M45.1.9 fell into the night sky, past uncounted potentials and winding ropes of light. This was Between, the interior of reality, the truth of existence, the magnificence from which all universes were projected.
The Seismics and technicians had done well. Directly below PH-AI-M45.1.9, in the shining void, a potential realized itself and swallowed PH-AI-M45.1.9, spitting the foreign thing from Between into the unexplored braneworld μ-1. Just as the math predicted.

PH-AI-M45.1.9's cameras came online instants later and captured the first images of μ-1. The potential that resulted in it appearing in μ-1 had also made it appear at least 30 km in the sky. Some things were more improbable than others, unfortunately. Parachutes deployed and the surveyor made its way down towards the surface. The technicians would have to recalibrate the jump for future travellers, and this was recorded for transmission for when the brane relay equipment was constructed in this world.
PH-AI-M45.1.9 drifted down, and eventually touched down on an island floating in the sky. No documented braneworld from α to λ had this phenomenon, and PH-AI-M45.1.9 documented it as well. Perhaps whatever materials these islands were made of could be harvested for use in developing flight for the roving Neumanns. PH-AI-M45.1.9's cameras whizzed slightly as it focused on the distance. A primitive flying ship. This world had sapient life. More and more remarkable. It recorded this, then prepared to make first contact.
