We here at GAIN Labs bring you the future. The S-zer0 is modelled after Felice Vongestalt’s three-season winning quantum levitation pod, adapted for commercial use on Spherean pathways across the globe.
Order your S-zer0 now and be a champion just like Felice. No deposit required. That’s how sure we are that you will love this pod.
You may question whether this is real. It is too good to be true. The best pod for all your inter-sphere travels for only 99,999 credits? It is real! Trust in GAIN. And what is more, if you pre-order now, we will give you a 20% discount on your second pod. Which will it be? Obsidian Black or Satin White. Or both. Supply is limited. Better hurry.

Real Talk
The above text is of course fictional. A marketing campaign from the future. A future where GAIN, the Global AI NeuralNet, controls all, in its infinitely caring and providing life-sustaining benevolence.
Subscribers will get updates on progress and world-building aspects of a rich and vibrant, yet ultimately dystopian Future Earth for you to enjoy and explore. Tell a friend, to tell a friend, their cat or squirrel. There are only artificial squirrels in SPHEREAN, sorry.
About SPHEREAN Lore
In my World-Building article, I spoke about the term Defrag and its meaning. Besides maintaining a SPHEREAN Dictionary, I also keep track of the lore of the world, as one does. One such detail is the GAIN Directives that govern life under the Spheres. There are many. Let’s start with the first one:
GAIN DIRECTIVE 01
IN GAIN WE TRUST
Ah, I see, you’re already suspicious. Good, good. Keep it up and we shall have a very merry time.
Easter-Egg Challenge
The teaser video has an easter-egg hidden in plain sight. In your best ratiocination fashion, can you find it? A true SF fan will spot it in no time, I bet. Good luck!
