The researchers at the World Headquarters of Advanced Theories (WHAT!) are accustomed to anomalies, but when Victorian Vic’s homesickness turns a prize-winning rose garden blue and Steampunk Vic’s sudden eureka moment choreographs a flying cutlery symphony, the team makes a terrifying discovery. The three variant Vics are no longer just scientists; they are ‘Victions’—living, load-bearing components of local physics whose fluctuating emotions directly rewrite reality.
Before the team can manage this ontological hazard, the Axiom Auditors arrive. These greyscale, cosmic bureaucrats view the Vics’ chaotic consciousness as a threat of contamination that must be neutralised with sterile, joyless logic. Plunged into a perfectly efficient universe stripped of colour, music, and the taste of chocolate digestives, the WHAT! The team must prove that reality’s survival depends not on flawless optimisation, but on the glorious, unpredictable whimsy of a properly dunked biscuit.
