An interphase is a canon construction, and refers to "a phenomenon in which the fabric of space begins to break up, allowing an overlap of parallel universes on different dimensional planes. The rift itself also contained a completely empty realm, devoid of life, between the dimensional planes". Starting with Temper, I have a "pulse shot", which is used for time travel and, if composed of dark matter, it is used in order to pass a person or a time ship to the Mirror Universe. Therefore, I got to thinking - how was the pulse shot first invented? And so I decided to marry it to some real technology and to canon at the same time. The original pulse shot would be a mistake, a casualty of the end of the Third World War. Hence the origin of what became the pulse shot is actually the destruction of the Large Hadron Super collider at CERN, in 2053. The bombing releases the vestiges of the hunt for the Higgs boson and causes small ripples through time. If a person or a shuttle or the like is hit with one such altered particle, incoherent and unexpected time travel is possible. However, there is no control over the travel, or how to get back. The subjects (I hesitate to call them victims) solve their temporal displacement issues in various ways, as the changes are manifested in many different ways, and often seem to call existence into question.
