Glass Elevator

Image
  Created by  The People  of  Homeworld   over a million years ago, the  Glass Elevator  can be powered by a neutron star, or an eyedropper of  Pure Imagination . It knows no boundaries of time and space, and it is undoubtedly the most temperamental form of transportation in the universe. It will take you from the big bang to the galactic collapse, but it will probably leave you stranded on the corner of Patel and Jhule Lal Marg in Delhi. It is a vehicle of fancy and where you go with it is limited only by your own vision. Ancient History The Glass Elevator is a prime example of radicalized over engineering brought on by extreme hunger. According to Doctor Wonka, the first Glass Elevators were just undersized, over functioning delivery trucks. Shortly after the development and initial marketing of  Fancy Bread ,  The People  of  Homeworld  began getting more orders than they could handle. A factory engineer, who had been w...

You can't get there from here

  There is a version of this phrase in almost every galactic language imaginable. The phrase is simply unavoidable for any civilization that hasn't yet invented teleportation, and yet, most humanoid life forms see it as a sort of challenge. Very few people ever just give up after hearing   you can't get there from here,  and this is primarily because the phrase is almost never true.

The People of Homeworld have gone through great pains to keep the location of their world secret. In fact, there is only one way to get to Homeworld, and if you don't own a  Glass Eleva...

  What we think we know Homeworld is the name of  Doctor Wonka ' s home planet. No, really, that's it. We could give you a mind-bogglingly complicated word in the Doctor's native language that his people use to refer to their home planet but you would only ever use it to impress your friends at comic con, and besides the local translation of that word is simply Homeworld. Homeworld is the home planet of  The People , a highly intelligent and advanced race of epicures whose civilization is devoted primarily to advancing food and drink science. It is also home to the  University of Homeworld  which is a school esteemed highest in the galaxy for the education of food science. The only thing we really know about Homeworld is what Doctor Wonka tells us, and what he tells us is that he really doesn't like it very much. We know that the planet is not that beautiful, but The People don't really care much about appearances, and besides, there's no real reason to tidy up ...
