Alpha Epsilon is a company in the Cardverse. It is one of the largest NationStates Worlds card companies in the world, having issued hundreds of cards as of 2034.

History

The Tap

During an experiment to discover a means of interuniversal travel, a group of AE scientists built the Cobbler Gate, a device that was designed to open a portal to the nearest universe. However, instead of creating a stable portal, the gate opened a miniature black hole, pulling objects and people towards it. While no person was transported inside this black hole, objects slammed into the controls and reversed the process and minimized the intensity. This turned the potentially dangerous event into a harmless incident which drew Qi from the Prime Realm and directing it to a piece of paper. A male voice was then heard from this Qi-infused paper, and since this incident, the lone piece became known as the "Whispering Page".

The Whispering Page

Alpha Epsilon halted all research on interuniversal travel and instead directed funds and manpower into decoding the secrets of the Whispering Page. In the process, they discovered Qi, but not their colours. Further experiments were done, successfully recreating the Whispering Page, with voices of different individuals of both genders and various ages. This led to the creation of the first NationStates Worlds card, Aspirant Captain.

Trivia

  • The company's name is a reference to the letters A and E, two letters often used together in Realms worldbuilding thanks to the inspiration RMD has gotten from the Kpop group Aespa.
