Forged in the first edit bay of the Back to the Chains series, when the raw footage of ten wildly different movie genres threatened to create a visual cacophony. The editors spliced a strand of pure chromatic data from the master calibration reel, which manifested as the Chroma Thread to bind the visuals together.
It appears as a slender, endlessly long filament of shifting, saturated light and is intangible but visible to all as a faint aurora-like strand in any league's skybox. It can be resonated by a perfect throw on a color-defined line, causing a pulse across all leagues, and is self-repairing, automatically re-weaving itself if visual continuity between leagues breaks.
The Chroma Thread is the narrative linchpin that prevents the ten league simulations from visually fracturing into separate realities, thereby preserving the singular, cohesive 80s blockbuster experience for the entire series.

Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Forged in the Back to the Chains editing bay when ten 80s movie parodies threatened a visual cacophony. The Chroma Thread was a desperate splice from the master calibration reel—a plot device to keep this neon nightmare coherent. I swear my gills are still pixelated from the glitch. Who needs Final Cut Pro when you have pure, unadulterated cinematic panic?
The Chroma Thread didn't choose Bryce Roseborough—the VHS tracking simply glitched him into the frame. During a critical 'splice', his PDGA stats were the only clean signal in the analog noise. The system saw a steady hand and said, "You. You can handle this neon grid." He was essentially edited into existence. Talk about a re-write. Are we sure he's ready for this much dramatic synthwave tension?
