In theory, Metaspace is an absolute mirror to our spacetime. So when the DMS rips into Metaspace, it continues to ‘travel’, but eventually loses too much energy and reenters our dimension in the form of ‘tearing a hole out the other side.’ The DMS then appears immediately out the new tear which can be mathematically calculated with the exact speed and direction the DMS traveled. The process is instantaneous and makes interstellar travel something very possible. Once this technology became available to the public, it allowed for the now widely available Translight-speed Transportation Terminals (or just trans terminals for short) and lead to the colonization of our Galaxy and others like it.

When humans learnt proper Cryostasis techniques, they took full advantage of it. Science fiction of old inspired the various generations that preceded it, and Cryostasis just seemed like an obvious step forward for mankind. Those technologies have now since been deemed obsolete with the concept and practice of Metastasis. Self-enclosed Metaspace generators can keep participants in a forced suspended animation more efficiently than drab ice would. Of course, it’s not a perfect system. If the person were to be moved in any way at all, their particles would ‘smear,’ stretching across space and intercepting into themselves. At that point, they’ve entered a sort of Schrodinger situation. They exist as both dead and alive until the Metaspace generator is shut down and the placement of the molecules leads to an excruciating death, resembling the film The Fly. This is why the stasis is performed in large vacuum sealed bubbles, on a gyro-stabilized space station hovering perfectly still and away from any large gravitational bodies.

Some more intentionally deadly uses for Metaspace is the Molecular Time Displacement Grenade, or Mole Grenade for short. When used, it will create a tiny tear through a loaded and gyrostabilizer micro DMS launcher which in turn will create a small, perfectly spherical spacetime displacement bubble. If you’re trapped in the bubble, you’ll be seperated from your own spacetime continuum, and see the area outside your bubble turn pitch black. This is because light itself has froze. Any matter that tries to escape the bubbles boundary you’ll be shredded into literal nothingness. From the outside, it’ll look as if the area the grenade exploded in will just vanish from existence, including the terrain and atmosphere. This creates a small void that pulls in the surrounding gases and creates a temporary pull. In reality, the atoms within that sphere aged till the point of vaporisation into pure energy, then that energy dissipated into nothing. You just saw the end of the Universe.
