What have these rogue scientists (Dr. Pan from Oak Ridge and Dr. Dora from the University) done by absconding with, then opening the Alien Artifact, by using stolen radiation, no less?

Now, doctors Pan and Dora and their rogue crew of international experts have opened a ragged rift in the fabric of space and time they call LunaVerse Knoxville beneath the old abandoned warehouse known as Luna Nightclub at Asylum 801 in the old Asylum District.

If you could ask them, the doctors would tell you simply, they could not resist. Of course, they can’t answer you these days, as they’ve unintentionally made themselves un-human in their uncontrolled experiments to open the Alien Artifact’s secrets.

Found fifty years ago by astronauts pulled off course (like metal filings to a magnet) by an unknown force, the spacemen landed in the lunar darkness of an unnamed crater on the Moon and found the cube-like structure, covered in strange runes.

Now, Pan and Dora’s radioactive experiments have opened their precious Alien Artifact in the limestone caves beneath the Historic Asylum District, where they have made dreams reality and reality dreams. Past and present are intertwined in the here and now. Jurassic and Holocene have merged.

In LunaVerse Knoxville, extraterrestrial and earthling are one. Man is now animal, animal is man. All legends in the rivers and forests of Tennessee folklore walk and swim in the magic-filled, radioactive warehouses at Asylum, the Bermuda Triangle of the Appalachians. Mole people, hellphibians, UFOs and ape men, all are inexorably drawn to this place.

Though a Moonsphere is planned to cover and stop the spread of this world-destroying and world-creating magic, the rift can never be closed. This glorious and terrifying epicenter of Scruffy City known as LunaVerse Knoxville in the Asylum District will remain open and radiating fantastic realms and lifeforms forevermore. The inter-dimensional door once opened cannot be closed.

Thus it shall remain, from this doomed and hopeful place, everywhere and nowhere, awake and dreaming, future and past, otherworldly and in our own backyards, LunaVerse Knoxville is here, a pulsing, universal magnet, calling you to visit, calling you to join it, calling you to change, change, as did all the good doctors.
We know you cannot resist..
