From last issue, Astra introduces boyfriend Matt to the Gordian Knot:



Long story short, the Gordian Knot is a collection of innumerable universes and realities squished together by a "reverse big bang." Now they're all tangled up and overlapping. There's an extraction team slowly teasing the trapped worlds out of the knot on the order of a couple every year. Both they and the Terran embassy stationed at the Knot have given Astra job offers.
