Uh, wasn't this kind of rift network that f'd up Atlantis and Earth eons ago? pg. 13-14 WB2 Atlantis.
Unless you just intend to open a rift big enough to send a spaceship through. In that case, you might want to consider the double pyarmid system. Two pyramids are placed close together, and the rift opens between them.

Well, I just threw my guns down, walked away. Little bastard shot me in the ass.”

I'm trying to decide if an Atlantean can create a Rift in a Pyramid and then a second and move items (like a Phase World starship) between the two Rifts in more or less one take. I know it takes time to gather PPE.

Simple enough , Make sure that at the point of origin for the starship there is a Stone pyramid .

The Atlantean is obviously a stone master .. right ?

That way he can easily open up two Rifts right at the pyramids and with enough PPE he could fit nearly any ship in the phaseworld setting threw it .

The prob is , who is going to allow that to happen once they realize what the Atlantean is trying to do ?

Back you dogs!


I can't quote chapter and verse here, but hasn't it been printed that rifts are environmentally sealed already?

It has; I believe it was Underseas, making the point "You can't open a Rift to the bottom of the ocean and drown everyone, nor can you open a Rift to a desert and dry out all the fish."

I allow a little bit of atmosphere, but not enough to be harmful to either side (so a Rift to the bottom of the ocean would leak a bit of salt water, but it's not going to drown the world; a link to Hades may have a bit of sulphur-stink, but it won't kill anyone, even in a sealed room).
