apparitions

1. They are the 'Mirror Beings', born millennia ago of the Void and the Sacrifice. 
2. We see them as humanoids because our brains process them this way. That's also the reason why we catch their glimpse with peripheral vision, while other creatures could perceive them differently.
3. For example, Unascended Minds recorded Apparitions as 'whispers in the input code'.
4. The Chromium Sage has invented the Mirrorscope to either study the Apparitions or even transform himself to one of them. We cannot be sure.
5. The Tome of Reflections state that the Sage left the human space through the 'outer border'. 
6. We cannot even be sure whether the Chromium Sage was a real historical figure or just a legend. Nevertheless, the Mirrorscope is now displayed in the Museum of Time. 
7. We see them but interaction is almost impossible.
8. We see them but interaction can be forced by strong emotions. They feed on them.
9. We see them but they cannot see us. That's a pity, because if we could communicate with them, they could show us the paths through the Dreamvoid.

There is a force that lurks beyond. It contains everything. Everything contains the Void.

Threefold. 

DREAMVOID is born of us. Of our conscious and unconscious. Conscious - our goals, cravings, fears. Unconscious - our slumber. It crept outside it when the circle was complete. When we slept in the Deep Nothingness.

Everything was born of DEEP VOID, thus, indirectly, we owe our existence to it. Now it is time to give everything back, as the cosmos - as the energy and the matter and the time - is fundamentally flawed. Unworthy of existence.

When the Null Drives were fired for the first time and the barrier between the Continuum and the Nullspace was broken - the NULLVOID was also discovered. Reactivated (as 'void' does not exist per se - so it wasn't created). If nothingness can be conscious - Nullvoid is. It Lurks Behind, hidden in the smallest sub-particles of the simulation. The door shouldn't ever be opened.
