Changes

* Cristina's shoe contains dirt from one of the realities she has gone through in the past. How exactly Cristina traveled between realities is unknown, but she may have used various installations of [[The First World]], or through fractures in the realities similar to how [[Alek]] lead refugees towards [[The First World]]. What the dirt contained is unknown, it is unlikely to be [[GLORWOC]], as it would have spread and destroyed everything around it, so another possibility is another microorganism, such as [[Temporal Bacteria]], or a residue of some sort. Given the [[Regret Demon]]'s considerable abilities, it can be presumed that whatever was on the shoe is rare and hard to obtain, and provides a material advantage to the [[Regret Demon]], whatever its agendas may be.

* This has been answered as of 'Our Final Acts (Part 8)'. After the battle of [[Earth 44]], [[Cristina Thompson]] in despair activated the same [[Metallic Chip]] she had stolen as a teenager. Inadvertently she accessed the [[Orthogonal Reality]], an artificial reality separate to those of the standard multiverse realities. Her transport to and from this reality included a variety of materials, including the dirt on her shoes. The [[Regret Demon]] was able to analyse the shoe and dirt to determine the location of the [[Orthogonal Reality]], information which it subsequently traded to the [[Gemstone Hegemony]].
