The Jaster Observatory was named after a scientist named Niles Jaster who had lived on the planet Sakaar some thirty years before. It was around that time when the Grandmaster came to Sakaar. What exactly brought someone like the Grandmaster to Sakaar wasn't known.
Jaster got into some trouble with the Grandmaster. What exactly Jaster did to get on the bad side of the Grandmaster wasn't known; Jaster didn't mention it in any of his journals. Jaster was a prolific writer having written at least five journals (most of which concerned with his observations using his very own telescope which he built himself) and the Warbound only found just three of them in the large observatory.
Jaster wasn't the only scientist to ever end up on Sakaar but he was, perhaps, the smartest one. Jaster and six other scientists built the observatory which included Doctor S. Jaster and five of the scientists had passed away thanks to natural causes save for Dr. S.

<This is good and all,> said Venom. <but shouldn't we go back to the arena before that blue meanie finds out where we are?>
"Good word use" said Gwen. "but not quite yet. In the meantime, why don't you tell me about what you know about other dimensions?"
<Why not tell me how many dimensions you've visited> replied Venom.
"I don't exactly keep count" said Gwen. "more than twenty I think"
<And how many of them turns you into a giant?>
"Three" said Gwen. "all different sizes, too: in one I'm just twenty feet tall, in another I'm like sixty feet tall and in the last one I'm a thousand feet tall....I visit them whenever I feel underappreciated because the people there pretty much worship me"
Gwen was currently in a medium-sized conference room on the fourth floor of the observatory. Earlier Gwen and Gwenpool had met pretty much every member of the Warbound in the room. All of the Warbound (as well as the citizens of Jaster) had heard about Gwen. News spreads like fire in a wheat field on Sakaar.
After Gwen had met with the Warbound, she had elected to stay in the room to have a private chat with Venom. Only Gwenpool had stayed behind in the room for a time along with Gwen. Gwenpool had been fiddling with her Inter-dimensional phone.
Gwenpool had walked out of the room without Gwen noticing. Venom asked a question at the same time when Gwen heard someone talking outside the room. The door to the room was open just slightly.
<Gwen?> asked Venom when Gwen hadn't responded to his question. <don't tell me you didn't hear me>
"Hm?" asked Gwen.
<I asked you what was the most craziest dimension you ever visited> said Venom with a hint of impatience in his voice. No. Voice was the wrong word....more like thoughts?
Gwenpool's voice drifted into the room: "So where's the infinity gauntlet? I promise not to put it on"
"It's in a very safe place" came Jennifer's voice. "we kinda had to hide it in an inventive way"
"Very sensible" came a third voice.
Gwen was about to answer Venom's question when the door of the windowless room opened and Jennifer entered the room. Jennifer was soon followed by Gwenpool. On Gwenpool's shoulder sat a large squirrel. The squirrel was about the size of the average housecat. The squirrel was wearing clothes; just a simple light blue tunic under a leather jacket.
"Hello" greeted Gwen.
"Who's the squirrel?" came Venom's voice from Gwen's mouth.
"Well, that's freaky" said the squirrel blinking at Gwen. The squirrel studied Gwen for a moment before jumping from Gwenpool's shoulder and onto the conference table where he -- she? -- proceeded to rush up right to Gwen.
"Um....hello there" said Gwen to the squirrel who was in Gwen's face. "you ever hear about private spaces?"
"So, you're the one everyone is talking about" said the squirrel in a decidedly male voice. "the champion of the arena. The Grandmaster's favorite toy"
"Excuse you?" asked Gwen. "I'm not a toy. I'm... we're Gwen Stacy. And who are you?"
"Ratatoskr at your service" said the squirrel making a grand gesture.
"Rata-toskr...." said Gwen, sounding out the name. The name sounded vaguely familiar. It took Gwen several minutes to recall that she had read the name Ratatoskr in a book about Norse mythology after Gwen had met with Thor a few years ago. After meeting the thunder god Gwen had gotten a book from the library all about Norse mythology. "you're the squirrel that tends Yggdrasil"
"What's Yigdrassal?" asked Ratatoskr blankly. "is that a city on the planet you're from?"
"Ratatoskr here is our resident tech expert" said Jennifer sitting at the table. "nobody knows computers more than he does"
"I'm no slouch when it comes to computers either" said Mystique as she walked into the room. The one-time leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants was in her natural blue body. She sat down at the conference table and drummed her fingers.
Ratatoskr scoffed. "Maybe on that backwater planet you come from you're an expert. But, out here, you're just an amateur"
"I'm gonna let that slide since this is hardly my first time in space" said Mystique.
"Oh?" asked Venom. "and how many times have you been out here in space"
Mystique had to think that over before she answered, "Er, this'll be the....seventh?... time I've been in space. When you're with the X-Men, you tend to go to the most unusual places"
"You got that right" said Rogue, entering the room. "I was just telling Mystique here 'bout the time we all were transported to this dimension ran by this freaky alien named ojo"
"Mojo?" asked Gwenpool. "you talking about that evil monkey from that Powderpuff Girls show?"
Everyone stared blankly at Gwenpool.
"Oh!" exclaimed Gwenpool slapping herself in the head. "you mean that disgusting tub of lard"
"You've met him?" asked Nightcrawler suddenly appearing in the unoccupied chair next to Gwenpool. Gwenpool was clearly startled by the sudden appearance of Nightcrawler.
"Don't do that!" exclaimed Gwenpool grabbing her breasts. "you wanna give me a heart attack?!"
"Where's Kamala and Kitty?" asked Nightcrawler who threw Gwenpool a mischievous grin.
No sooner did Nightcrawler spoke, both Kamala and Shadowcat emerged from the solid wall.
"Okay," said Kamala. "that was freaky....and awesome"
Shadowcat and Kamala sat down in the unoccupied chairs in the room and looked at Gwen.
"What's up?" asked Gwen, suddenly feeling a hint of trepidation for some reason.
"We need you to do a little favor for us," said Ratatoskr as he pulled out a small device from the belt he was wearing. "this is a listening device. Since you're buddy-buddy with the Grandmaster you're the perfect one to plant this near him; or, if you can manage it, in his office"
"We're not buddy-buddy with him" came the voice of Venom. "we would like to eat him"
"Are you crazy?!" asked Gwenpool. "you'll be dead long before you could get close enough to do that"
"It would be suicide" agreed Mystique. "we need to know what the Grandmaster is up to before we strike"
Gwen took the device from Ratatoskr to examine it. The device was about the size of a large walnut. "I'll see what I can do"
"Good" said Mystique. "As I understand it, you can travel to other dimensions?"
Gwen nodded. "Why is that important?"
"We need numbers" said Jennifer. "we're no match for the Grandmaster's forces as we are now. We can go to other dimensions to recruit people for our little cause"
"That is literally the most awesome idea ever!" exclaimed Gwenpool.
"That could work I suppose" said Gwen.
