-Deciding to be a member of the underground is a momentous decision. It essentially means that you'll be committing yourself permanently to the destruction of the Conspiracy. The underground cannot allow dabblers, they need committed elements. +Deciding to be a member of the underground is a momentous decision. It essentially means that you'll be committing yourself permanently to the destruction of the Conspiracy. The underground cannot allow dabblers, they need committed elements. Mai, Leo, B3, Veronica, Spenser, Darcy, etc, are all part of a "cell" of an organization that is somewhat generically termed "The Empathic Underground" seeking to discover just how far this dark conspiracy has gotten, and find ways to turn the tide.

-So the basics are these. Beings from other places than our world have come to our world. It appears likely that they've been coming over for all of humanity's history, and perhaps longer (who can say?), but that it appears that their influence was limited in the past. The problem with these beings from these other places is that many or all of them seem to have the quality that they feed on emotion, and not on the happy ones. The group in general, owing to the darkly malevolent nature of these beings, refers to them collectively as "Darklings"+So the basics are these. Beings from other places than our world have come to our world. It appears likely that they've been coming over for all of humanity's history, and perhaps longer (who can say?), but that it appears that their influence was limited in the past. It's possible that ancient conspiracies such as the Rosicrucians were part of the earlier attempts by these powerful beings to send emmisaries. But who can say how far they got? Early influence seems to have been in terms of these beings giving ancient sorcerers some small amount of empathic techniques to work with. 
  
-As of some point in the twentieth century, probably the latter half, that changed. Humans have always been capable of unexplained powers, but these, too, seem to have become more potent at around the same time as the increase in influence by creatures of the otherworlds. +The problem with these beings from these other places is that many or all of them seem to have the quality that they feed on emotion, and not on the happy ones. The group in general, owing to the darkly malevolent nature of these beings, refers to them collectively as "Darklings." A lot of the downward spiral that the world is in, even things like the nuclear war in Australia, are likely the fault of these beings. The consensus amongst those in the know is that very likely they are attempting... and succeeding at... taking over the world.

 +As of some point in the twentieth century, probably the latter half, the limited interaction level  changed, and many more beings were able to enter our world somehow. Humans have always been capable of unexplained powers, but these, too, seem to have become more potent at around the same time as the increase in influence by creatures of the otherworlds. 
  
 This also happens to coincide somehow with the appearance of aliens from other stars in our world. Though some speculate that these "aliens" may actually have come from just another of these other "dimensions." What the connection is between the darklings and aliens, if any, is unclear.  This also happens to coincide somehow with the appearance of aliens from other stars in our world.

-These other worlds are often referred to as "proto-dimensions" as these other worlds are thought to be generally more rudimentary than ours. Though some feel that's just our perspective on the subject. He gives substantial details on how humans can travel along dimensions in our world quickly, or, by turning just right, enter other proto-dimensions... in theory. +These other worlds are often referred to as "proto-dimensions" as these other worlds are thought to be generally more rudimentary than ours.

 In practice only a few humans are known who can go to these other dimensions, mostly because they simply don't know which way to turn to get to them. Benny is one of the few, knowing how to get to two other dimensions now. The underground has another member, "Veronica" who is a "mystic," which means that she is capable of easily entering and exiting a dimension of mind alone, which they refer to as the Astral Plane. In practice only a few humans are known who can go to these other dimensions, mostly because they simply don't know which way to turn to get to them.
