IS there a story?

When rummaging through the clutter in his basement, reclusive inventor Frank Walker occasionally runs across a nostalgic memento from his past.

The Esoteric Abundance Response Squad (or E.A.R.S.), a precursor of sorts to the later Optimist Program, was initially conceived for outreach and recruitment  by the secretive PlusUltra organization. Over time, the duties of the small but highly skilled cadre of “Esoteers” (so named for their ex-pertise in esoteric lore, science, technology, and phenomena) came to include the design, operation, and maintenance of an advanced cryogenic research and development center located [REDACTED].

Today the primary purpose of E.A.R.S. involves maintaining a manageable balance of “esoteric abundance” (which might be loosely defined as “fun and weirdness” or “zaniness”) at identified nodal points or trans-dimensional vortices, the vortices being an unfortunate side effect of Nicola Tesla’s early ex-periments in cross-dimensional travel which allows dissonant energy from the Tomorrowland Dimension to “leak” across dimensional barriers.

“I wonder what became of Addie Ventura,” Frank mused. “She was a swell chum… back in the days when we actually used phrases like ‘swell chum.’”
