Recently we’ve been delving into the Multiverse. With the recent introduction of the Forumverse (or Universe 3) I decided it was time we rehosted the Original comics. Unlike the current Continuity comics, the story of the characters followed on directly after the disolving of Slightly Out of Order. We weren’t even trying to hide it. At that point we saw ourselves as a break away or spin off group and our characters simply carried on after the horror that they went through.

It was only a few months into this series that I realized things needed to be changed, there was too much emphasis on the negative side of what was going on, and so we rewrote Ultima-Java. To this day it retains a lot of the original story, however in the newest UJ: History, we are looking in more depth at what happened Pre-Ultima-Java, and the difference between the comic and what happened in real life is now much greater.

However, it was that time that shaped us into the people who created Ultima-Java, it was those experiences that brought us to the point of knowing what we wanted to do. So we kept the stories, hidden away.

Now with the opening up of the Multiverse, we are happy to bring back the original Ultima-Java scripts, as Ultima-Java: Universe 2! Maybe, we might visit U-2 in the future with some new scripts. Untill then please enjoy the archive.

As the story of Ultima-Java goes. In the begining there was a single Universe, overtime that Universe was manipulated by evil, a being of pure chaos, untill there was no life in the Universe only Chaos and Order. It was the Lord of Order in that Age who discovered the power of Infinity Majicks, and drawing on this most powerful of attacks The Lord of Order deemed that it was better that the silent Universe be destroyed so that another could be built in it's place. Knowing that this was the ultimate cost, and that he would perish too, he used his majick to destroy the Chaos incarnate.

From that destruction came a new Universe, perfectly balanced in Good and Evil, Chaos and Order. When the first sentient being achived freewill and imaginination the psionic cry of creative life pulsed through the universe and it shattered. Each piece becoming a Universe in it's own right within the Multiverse.

Ultima-Java takes place in U-1, and now we have opened up U-3. The Forumverse!

Wow, don’t the new pages look awesome? Another fantastic piece of artwork from Qeeko. I this chapter I was hoping that I would be ableto delve into the character of Andy frogman a bit more, and get some of the mysteries of the Universe revealed.

So far we’ve looked at the Corridor, a waypoint that encircles the entire galaxy.

The Armoury Ring, a majick (thats how it’s spelt here) artifact that creates a subspace link between the point of origin, that being where the swords are stored, to the ring, causing the swords to materialize and become accessable to Andy in a summoning circle anywhere in the galaxy. (The August Donation Wallpaper is an image of this.)

Now we’re looking at the Corridor Doors. As you may have guessed the Corridor is only accessabel to someone with a Key Rune, like Andy has in page 2. In the latest update it’s explained how the Doors are accessed. Every inhabitable planet is given a doorway from the corridor. For those with the knowledge of building the Temples the doorway leads to locked locations around the planet. However if there is no Temple the Doorway will open in a random location.

More as the news comes in :P
