Shido is just another pawn. Well...perhaps a higher ranking piece than that, but still ultimately disposable. He ordered me to kill Akira, but it was Yaldabaoth's manipulations that put us at odds to begin with.
[Just going to reach into his pocket and pull out...an unfamiliar phone, which he proceeds to fiddle with.]
But I think the situation back in our worlds is best saved for after the situation here. The Metaverse does exist, I've confirmed the existence of a Palace, even. But it's rather difficult to have a collective unconscious without a collective, and it seems like the Metaverse is contained to its own universe. It makes sense, given even very similar universes can have subtle differences. Otherwise, you would end up with false positives for people who have distorted views in another universe, but not your own.
Fissures, like the one we're in right now, have overtaken most of this world. I've been here for a couple of months, and seen no indication that there are living beings outside of the small community living at a nearby research station. Even if there are survivors, who knows how the Fissures would interact with the Metaverse, considering different realities bleed into this one through them.
