- "Soon the Saucy Mare will enter into the profitless region known as the Edge of Beyond" - Mr. Christopher
The Edge of Beyond is a mysterious location on the Net which contains a massive tear leading to the Web. The tear floats in a featureless black void, orbited by dead Web Creatures and the remains of ships from the Net. The nature and origin of the Edge of Beyond is unclear. Given the city-sized scale of the tear, its location on the Net, and the large number of dead web creatures, it is possible that the tear is all that remains of a system destroyed by the Web.
The Saucy Mare approaches the Edge of Beyond
The Saucy Mare visited the Edge of Beyond after escaping from the Desert Port System, hoping to enter the Web to find Bob. The crew would be degraded by exposure to the Web, so Search Engine Ray Tracer told them to cover the ship in the hides of the dead web creatures. The hides would act as 'Web-shields' and protect the ship and crew from the corrosive environment of the Web.
As the crew was covering the ship in hides, AndrAIa inspected a strange organic structure nearby which turned out to be an egg. A baby web creature hatched from it and attacked her. It quickly fled, briefly stabilizing the massive tear into a portal to the Web.
