Quaternions

The quaternionic coordinates pointed to the depths of the Oort cloud. Following these hyperdimensional vectors, our probes found a small glacial world orbiting a red dwarf.

Sceptical at first, spectroscopic analyses revealed something astonishing: unambiguous biosignatures of multicellular organisms in the subfacial oceans.

We had stumbled upon primitive alien life in one of the innermost regions of the Solar System.

We dispatched a manned research mission immediately. Studying the native life forms, we discovered a biodiversity unparalleled on Earth, with creatures that seemed to defy our understanding of biology.

Some species exhibited quaternionic symmetries impossible on our existential plane. Others seemed to exist in multiple, overlapping states simultaneously.

As we delved deeper into this alien universe, we realised that quaternions were not simply abstract mathematical tools, but the fundamental rules governing the fabric of reality on this remote world.

A window into a cosmos of possibilities that challenged our very perception of what it means to be alive. A discovery that would change our understanding of the universe forever.
