Negative Space Wedgie	comment	The outer space equivalent of the Monster of the Week, except it isn't necessarily a creature â€” it can be the nebula that conveniently zaps your stardrive, or the planet with the radiation that makes you age too fast, or, well, any of a hundred similar things from Star Trek. It's unexpected, unexplainable, and puts the cast in an artificially-heightened state of crisis for 25-45 minutes plus commercials â€” until they find or invent the necessary cure, solution, fix, and/or repellent spray. Except for the superficial details, one Negative Space Wedgie is very much like another â€” it's just a random threat, the third this month. It's a bit absurd to call them "an anomaly" (the usual term used on Star Trek) when they happen on a very regular basis, come to think of it. Common varieties include: Lost Technology of the Precursors Mysterious glowing cloud Sufficiently Advanced Aliens having fun Big Dumb Object doing something weird Swirly Energy Thingy Black Holes A particularly weird wormhole Not necessarily this trope â€” or at least justified â€” is where the phenomenon is the premise of the movie or series. In the case of a series, it must be the same phenomenon at the beginning of each episode rather than same-but-different variations. For stand-alone works, they can occur once to set the plot in motion, and perhaps a second time to conclude the story; additional appearances to create additional plot points are more a manifestation of this trope. Not to be confused with Wedgie, nor is it an exaggerated version of the prank.

Negative Space Wedgie / int_1469522d	comment	Sunless Skies has Wefts or Unravelling Time, which are temporal anomalies that send the ships careening through different times and futures. Sometimes, people get out of the weft months before they went in. Another side effect of these things is reuniting dead bodies with their minds, resulting in some sort of Revenant Zombie. The crew of the Boatman learned that the hard way. Eleutheria also has Extinguishments, which are spots of what could be adequately called anti-light that boil over and erode anything remotely sane or logical that crosses them, including locomotives (with literal breaches of the laws of reality given semi-humanoid form being unaffected, and even spawning them rarely).

The (apparently) nuclear accident at Chernobyl was followed by a definitely-not-nuclear emission that resulted in lots of little negative space wedgies appearing all over The Zone, making living there and travelling across it extremely dangerous. All three games feature the PC trying to find their way past the little space wedgies to figure out the cause of the big one at the centre that caused it all.

Bad news? Our heroes are overloaded with and run on Spiral Energy. They manage to destroy it, at the cost of Kittan's life. That said, the Spiral Nemesis, the cosmic flaw that allowed it to form in the first place, is never actually stopped, nor barely mentioned for the rest of the series, aside from some half-hearted "We'll deal with it later" comments.

Earth has been swallowed by a hole in the fabric of the universe and trapped in a faux solar system orbiting a black hole... or something like that. Over the course of the next few decades or so it will tumble to its center, where it will be destroyed. Luckily, there are plenty of other planets plunging to their doom, many in orbits that will take centuries or even millennia to decay. Catch is there are LOTS of other lifeforms trapped in the Maelstrom as well, all fighting for possession of the safest worlds — and more are appearing all the time. If there's a way out, none of those who have escaped have been able (or willing) to return to share the secret. Enjoy your Last Stand.

Negative Space Wedgie / int_49ff762	comment	Pretty much the entire original premise of Torchwood. A permanent NSW (the "Rift") runs through the city of Cardiff in Wales, which is the trope namer for Aliens in Cardiff. The local population seems largely oblivious to it, despite all the paranormal phenomena it causes, the random disappearances of people (either sucked into the Rift or eaten by displaced aliens) and the Torchwood team racing around the streets chasing said aliens. Still, if you are a Time Lord, then the Rift does have its uses. The Doctor employs it as a petrol station for his TARDIS, and in one instance to also tow the entire planet Earth through space and time after it had been stolen so as to put it back where it belonged.

Oddly enough, a Negative Space Wedgie is used because it's a more "plausible" alternative to their original origin, which simply had them getting their powers from ordinary cosmic radiation, which really exists (but, admittedly, has never given any real astronauts super-powers, so far as we know). Guardians of the Galaxy: A rash of these kicks off the plot of vol 2., where due to two very nasty wars space has been pretty badly messed up, and the team has to prevent things from outside of reality getting in. Or worse... However, other things start taking place, meaning the team is unable to prevent the creation of The Fault, a NSW several light-years across. It also happens to mess up physics and time, meaning things that are blatantly impossible can happen inside it. It also causes any Kree who enters it to be turned into a hideous writhing blob of flesh. And that's before getting into what's on the other side of it...

Of course, you could also count that wormhole John went through in the first episode to get the series rolling. And, of course, the episode in which Moya gave herself a Negative Space Wedgie.

Negative Space Wedgie / int_70814599	comment	Stargate SG-1 had episodes like this early on, though they were more like "negative planet wedgies" since they weren't capable of space travel. Later seasons moved more toward the original stories created for the setting as well as extended plot arcs. The SGC was unusual among fictional spacefaring organizations in that they took extensive measures to avoid letting any of these dangerous discoveries come back with them. Of course, something new invariably happened that their defenses were useless against. In "A Matter of Time" they open the Stargate into a black hole. The gate won't shut off either because, as Carter correctly points out, the effect of gravity means time is slower closer to the gate's wormhole. Weeks pass outside the base in the time it takes for them to even realize how serious the problem is. In "Grace", the Prometheus is chased into a nebula by a huge alien ship that makes no attempt to reply to its communications other than agreeing to Sam's deal when she offers them a way to get out of the nebula, as the ship has become trapped there as well. In season 2 the gate sends them into the past. They initially think this was caused by a very weird negative space wedge but it turns out the gate connection was established through a star. It's later revealed that the gate is probably supposed to prevent this issue automatically, flaws in their dialing system allowed it to happen.

Negative Space Wedgie / int_81692f99	comment	EVERY Star Trek show has featured Negative Space Wedgies when they were not featuring a new Monster of the Week or Planet of Hats. Star Trek: The Original Series started the tradition with several: "Where No Man Has Gone Before": an energy barrier at the edge of the galaxy gives humans godlike powers at the cost of driving them insane. "The Immunity Syndrome": a zone of darkness and negative energy, created by the energy-devouring giant space amoeba at its center. "The Tholian Web": an area of space only partly in phase with our universe drives people insane, and later swallows a starship (with Captain Kirk still aboard). "The Galileo Seven": a quasar (a real-life N-S-W noted for being galaxy-sized) in the outskirts of our galaxy without anyone noticing until Kirk and co stumbled across it. Science Marches On, as quasars were not conclusively associated with distant galaxies at the time of production. "The Squire of Gothos": Trelane, who uses his Reality Warper powers to bedevil the Enterprise crew, including causing the titular planet to appear in their path again and again. "Tomorrow is Yesterday": a "black star", a highly massive burned-out star that almost sucks the Enterprise in, and the escape maneuver causes the Enterprise to travel back in time. "Who Mourns For Adonais?": The alien who was the Greek god Apollo tries to force the Enterprise crew to worship him by grabbing the ship with a giant glowing green hand. TNG ended its TV run with an extra special one, in fact: an anti-time disruption that threatens to completely undo the entire universe, necessitating three different Captain Picards from three different periods in time to try and fix it. Even the crew of Deep Space Nine, a stationary space station (which moved in any significant way exactly once during the show, and in the first episode for that matter), encountered a surprisingly large share of Negative Space Wedgies. This was lampshaded in the DS9 Technical Manual, musing about how the high density of space anomalies in the sector may suggest that such phenomena are more common than usually believed. Then again, it was situated near a not-quite-so-negative Space Wedgie. The frequency with which the protagonists encounter them is lampshaded and justified in a Star Trek Expanded Universe novel dealing with the Department of Temporal Investigations; apparently exposure to a Negative Space Wedgie alters probability around you due to Technobabble, making future encounters dramatically more likely (retroactively if need be). The DTI is understandably miffed, given that every time this happens their workload increases. In the Star Trek Expanded Universe novel, "Q-Squared", Q is the mentor of Trelane, the aforementioned Squire of Gothos (who is in actuality a fledgling Q himself). It turns out many of the anomalies encountered by Kirk, Picard, and Co. are just creations of Trelane for 'fun'. The scientist assigned to the central plot-complicating N-S-W is understandably miffed since it throws her entire theory into the garbage. This eventually leads to discovery of THE Negative Space Wedgie, the Heart of the Storm, wherein parallel-timeline hilarity ensues. Star Trek: Voyager tended to run into a lot of them too, although this was slightly more justified than DS9. Trapped 70 years from home in the Delta Quadrant as they were, Voyager's crew were well aware that a wormhole or other case of spatial weirdness was their most likely ticket home, meaning that when anomalies didn't jump out and ambush them during normal procedures, they tended to seek them out and poke them to see what would happen. In one TNG episode it's suggested that most if not all the ones not created by various godlike aliens are actually a form of pollution caused by warp travel. Sadly this is rarely followed up on. In Voyager, at least, the variable geometry of the warp nacelles is specifically to avoid this kind of damage according to the design documents. Season 3 of Star Trek: Enterprise takes place in a region filled with anomalies that rewrite the laws of physics. It turns out that a network of spheres is responsible, the season concluding with Enterprise destroying the spheres and restoring this area of space to normality. Season 4 of Star Trek: Discovery deals with a mysterious anomaly that is unleashing gravimetric distortions that can rip apart planets, like Book's homeworld Kwejian.

The propensity for Star Trek to use this is lampshaded in "Hear All, Trust Nothing". When Freeman learns that a captain has been pulled away from diplomatic duties to investigate something called a brown hole, she protests, "That's not even a thing!" The admiral who notified Freeman of the situation, Les Buenamigo, later turns out to have been an Insane Admiral who was sabotaging Freeman's career to get his pet project off the ground. This suggests that brown holes legitimately aren't a thing and were just some bullshit Buenamigo came up with to justify diverting the Vancouver, but Starfleet Command is too used to Negative Space Wedgies for anybody to question it. Further lampshaded in "The Inner Fight"; while on a mission to do routine maintenance on a space buoy, a bored Mariner asks, "Where's an unexplained high-stakes space anomaly when you need one?"

There are several instances where Ax postulated a Sario Rip that didn't pan out due to more mundane explanations, but these didn't usually seem to involve time travel, thus probably meaning translated from the original Andalite, 'Sario Rip' means space wedgie.

Negative Space Wedgie / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: Warp storms are tears in spacetime through which the Warp can enter realspace, exposing anything inside or in close proximity to them to the raw stuff of Chaos. Their presence invariably results in temporal and spatial anomalies, complete shutdowns of interstellar and psychic communications, isolation of whatever is caught in them from FTL travel, and, at worst, hordes of daemon spilling into realspace through the weakened and thinning fabric of reality. Warp storms, alongside a menagerie of stellar remnants, black holes, and sundry unexplained anomalies, provide the "terrain" of the setting by filling the galaxy with a complex topography of no-go zones, areas of possible by dangerous traversal, sudden storms, and narrow and perilous safe routes that constrain and direct interstellar travel, channeling it through reliable safe Hyperspace Lanes while rendering other chunks of the galaxy isolated and difficult to reach. The Eye of Terror is a Warp rift the width of a galactic arm, centered around the former Eldar homeworlds and created as a side effect of the birth of Slaanesh during the Fall of the Eldar. It serves as the home for several Chaos Space Marine forces, and many of the Imperium's most horrific battles have been fought near its borders as massive Chaos armies periodically pour forth from it to assault the galaxy. The Eldar Craftworld of Ulthwe is trapped in the Eye's gravity, locked in its outermost fringes, and the Imperial planet Cadia is located inside a relatively calm area called the Cadian Gate. Oddly enough, the creation of the Eye of Terror had the positive side effect of clearing out the rest of the Warp storms plaguing the galaxy at the time, making FTL travel possible for humanity again. The combination of the destruction of Cadia at the end of the 13th Black Crusade and the elimination of several other Necron Pylonsnote devices created by the Necrons to suppress the Warp across the galaxy around the same time by forces of Chaos resulted in a Warp rift that's essentially bisected the entire galaxy called the Cicatrix Maledictum. Its creation caused the Astronomican, the Warp beacon powered by the Emperor from Earth, to completely die out for a time, and several important Imperial worlds, including the Blood Angels' homeworld of Baal, have been cut off from contact with the rest of the Imperium, leaving them with little to no hope of reinforcements in their efforts to fight off the Orks, Tyranids, and other enemies isolated with them. Numerous minor examples of this exist around the galaxy, including the Storm of the Emperor's Wrath; the Maelstrom, which was incorporated as a spur of the Cicatrix; the Damocles Rift; the Hadex Anomaly, aka the Red Hole, thought to somehow leak time from other dimensions and surrounded by ghost ships trapped in its field; and the goings-on in Sub-Sector Aurelia Dawn of War 2.

They are able to escape with the aid of a Garmilan ship towing them out after blasting an exit with their Wave-Motion Gun. Even in that universe's own science, it doesn't make sense. The Wave-Motion Gun is the Wave Motion Engine fired in reverse. The Techno Babble describing the firing sequence of the cannon is a process of the engine diverting power backwards. If using the Yamato's Warp Drive didn't work, using the Weaponized Exhaust shouldn't have either.

Negative Space Wedgie / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who occasionally has these mixed in with the Monsters of the Week. Sometimes they can be negative time wedgies as well. The first use of this was "The Edge of Destruction", the third story in the very first season, back in 1963 â€” the TARDIS begins to open and close its doors, show cryptic images on the monitors, electrocute anyone touching the console, and make everyone aboard feel intense fear and despair. This turns out to be the TARDIS attempting to warn the Doctor that it's going to blow up in only a few minutes, because the "fast return switch" got stuck. "Planet of Giants" concerns a TARDIS glitch that causes it to shrink instead of dematerialise. "The Space Museum" has the characters arriving intangible due to a TARDIS glitch that has sent them onto a different "time track". In this state, they come across their own corpses before time catches up to them and they are bumped into the normal universe. "The Mind Robber": In order to escape from a lava flow caused by the titular Dominators in the previous episode, "The Dominators", the Doctor activates the TARDIS' emergency drive unit, which "sends the TARDIS out of the time-space dimension" or, as he wryly comments, "We're nowhere...it's as simple as that." "The Horns of Nimon" has a gravity vortex that sends the TARDIS out of control and alters the flow of time, causing one scene to be slowed down weirdly. "Army of Ghosts" has one found by the Torchwood organisation, who actually build their London headquarters around it. The plot kicks off when they decided to try and use it as an energy source, not remotely considering this might be a bad idea. Cue several million Cybermen from an alternate universe invading Earth through the crack. Pretty much the entire original premise of Torchwood. A permanent NSW (the "Rift") runs through the city of Cardiff in Wales, which is the trope namer for Aliens in Cardiff. The local population seems largely oblivious to it, despite all the paranormal phenomena it causes, the random disappearances of people (either sucked into the Rift or eaten by displaced aliens) and the Torchwood team racing around the streets chasing said aliens. Still, if you are a Time Lord, then the Rift does have its uses. The Doctor employs it as a petrol station for his TARDIS, and in one instance to also tow the entire planet Earth through space and time after it had been stolen so as to put it back where it belonged. One memorable subversion occurs in the Eleventh Doctor episode "Amy's Choice": they encounter a "cold star", which radiates cold instead of heat. It turns out that cold stars are too ridiculous even for the Whoniverse: the Doctor (correctly) says they're completely impossible and the only reason they encountered one was that they were in a dream. The 2010 series as a whole had the cracks in time, which could Ret-Gone anyone or anything (up to and including reality itself) out of existence. "Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS" is about the TARDIS interfering with the crew as revenge for being vandalised. "The Name of the Doctor": It turns out that this is what the Doctor's corpse will be, just a swirling vortex of his entire timeline. "Flatline" features the inner dimensions of the TARDIS getting leeched out, causing it to shrink.

It turns out many of the anomalies encountered by Kirk, Picard, and Co. are just creations of Trelane for 'fun'. The scientist assigned to the central plot-complicating N-S-W is understandably miffed since it throws her entire theory into the garbage. This eventually leads to discovery of THE Negative Space Wedgie, the Heart of the Storm, wherein parallel-timeline hilarity ensues.

Negative Space Wedgie / int_cbf0ee94	comment	EVE Online: Deadspace Complexes, areas of space where warp drives don't work properly. They function as the game's version of dungeons. There are also several unusual phenomena mentioned in the background, ranging from superdense gas clouds to areas of complete void from which no ship has returned. W-Space (the systems found beyond unstable wormholes) fits the trope too. Normal in-system communications monitoring doesn't work, forcing pilots to rely on limited-range directional sensors, more than a third of the W-Space systems have other effects that mess with other ship systems. These effects are always a mix of positive and negative (a pulsar boosts shields but weakens armor, for example), and exploiting these environments is a major part of W-Space strategy. Abyssal Deadspace, a region that can only be accessed by using an item to rip a temporary hole in reality. All abyssal space has an effect that significantly improves one aspect of a ship, and weakens another. And unlike the W-Space effects, abyssal effects also apply to non-player character ships. Also, the pocket of abyssal space is of limited size, destroying ships that try to leave, and will collapse 20 minutes after being entered, obliterating the ships inside. Somehow, this space is still consistently inhabited by a faction of (non-player character) humans, indicating that the region's instability is probably self-inflicted by pilots, ya know, ripping holes in reality to get in.

The biggest violation of nature is the Star Fissure - a crack in the ground opening into what looks like space, but has breathable air where there should be vacuum and even some kind of weather patterns. Gehn sealed it up with steel plates for safety, but once the player cracks through the observation window, the entire Age completely unravels.

The world is a dangerous place with an especially fragile space-time continuum and dimensional portals can open anywhere, letting in all kinds of elemental Eldritch Abomination from the planes of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Life and Death. Everything pouring out of the portals wants to inhabit the world with the kind of result you'd see from an ocean trying to warm itself around a candle. The two player factions have differing opinions on what to do about the portals: one wants to simply seal them, the other wants to use them to gain powers and knowledge to defend the world even more effectively from portal incursions.

It messes up ships that come into contact with it, it disrupts the orbits and weather of planets it comes near ("near" in this case being within a few AUs), it kills anything that touches it, it reacts to any Remnant tech that comes near it. Worst of all, it completely destroyed what was to become the new turian homeworld, leaving them with no place to settle, and it is implied that the Asteroid Thickets found throughout the cluster are the debris left behind by Scourge's destruction of other planets. It's spread across the entire Heleus cluster with no obvious spawn point and no means of getting rid of it (not that anyone seems to be trying), screws up basic physics, and is just generally bad news. It's a weapon released and aimed at the jaardan for an as yet unknown reason.
