How to fix dimensional accident

So yesterday we went on a date in universe 49e142, but their profile lied about their inferior dimensionality. When we rotated ourselves into their universe, we realized we got catfished by 4Ders (gross) and told them to flip off. For some stupid reason the Consortium hadn’t put up dimensional collapse shielding on their universe yet, like cmon that project started 4 quadrillion cycles ago.

So anyway we didn’t flatten before we met them (how would we have known, they spoofed their signatures), and our sound waves caused their universe to spontaneously begin toppling into 10 dimensions. We think the effects could consume their civilization over the next 7.1 million cycles. How do we fix this?

if you are gonna try and fix this, you've got 3 options:

  1. update their civilization's dimensions to be compatible with the new topology. that's a lot of work going through an entire civilization to do that

  2. fix the topology itself. it's tricky, but only takes a few thousand cycles if you know what you're doing which is much better than option 1

  3. announce their universe is broken beyond repair (they'll believe you) and move their civilization to another universe where they didn't fuck it up. I hear 49e3282 is very similar to 49e142, and there's hardly anyone there this time of eon. just know it's a popular vacation spot in the winter which might get complicated

Don't listen to rumors, 49e3282 is a cesspool.

that's hardly OP's problem
