Terabyte Program

Terabyte Program is a side story to the Paletteverse's lore, and was said to be part of an explanation of how the world and anything in the Paletteverse works.

Not much plot has been done just yet, though, as Al is still more focused on Lächeln und Regenbogen.

About
The story revolves around young Floro Nieto, joining in with an unnamed science facility said to be involved with the "Terabyte Program." Despite the name, the scientists involved aren't actually dealing with robotics or code of the matter, rather experimenting with the concept of the multiverse theory. The leader of the program, Madison Cross, had recently found out said theory is true, and he and his team of scientists aim to experiment with this knowledge. Of course, everything isn't what it seems, as it's very unclear whether Madison is using this information for good. Also, this whole place felt a bit shady to begin with, but he already signed himself into this. So what now?

Trivia

 * The name Terabyte Program doesn't mean much lore-wise, though it's a reference to an inside joke Al and their brother had about an old story named "Project Kilo."
 * The name is derived from the words 'project' and 'program' being synonyms, and Terabyte was inspired from 'kilo' being a metric prefix alongside 'tera.'
 * From what Al recalled, it was a story their brother once worked on, but only told to them with vague details, but from the hints it was about two individuals involved in some sort of scheme.
 * The inside joke was that in any story dialogue, the name Project Kilo would come up whenever a character brings up the topic of conspiracy theories, and when someone asks what Project Kilo is about, they are immediately interrupted with the topic changed, and any mention of Project Kilo was never heard of for the rest of the story.
 * More information can be found in this video.
 * All the characters are based on the Major Arcana found in tarot cards. Besides relating to their character developments, this fact does not influence a lot of the themes and plot, unlike in Lächeln und Regenbogen where having the characters being based on letters and numbers does influence the plot.
 * Interestingly, there was once a concept for a group in the Spiritverse that were based on the tarot card Major Arcana, but this concept was since moved to the Paletteverse as the Spiritverse felt a bit more cluttered with these new additions.
 * Al had also once planned for the Terabyte Program employees to the group that "replaced" the Panstvo-hjomim during the Spiritverse's break. This idea was trashed later on, and the two groups exist with no means to replace each other.
