Fiction:The Legacy/Destinies in time

You should read the Legacy for an introduction and to learn the setting, and the DCP's main story on the main Legacy page. The story is spread throughout the DCP's future (which will allow me to have a lot more space for fiction). The main story, is about the DCP's battle against the Unseen Entity, a malevolent, but unknown and unseen force, which is incomprehensible to mortals. But it is also about the DCP's future evolution, and descendants, spread across space and time. Use your imagination to visualise. = Non-linear time =

Admiral Kilnok's next mission
This is in my adventure - Multiverse V2. As the Star Sailor neared the spatial flexure to investigate it, a very strange starship, completely unknown to the starship databanks emerged from the anomaly. It was composed out of unknown materials, but also condensed quark-gluon plamsa, cosmic strings and spacetime defects. It was in a phase of quantum flux, and was phasing in and out of existence. It then began to scan the Star Sailor, and suddenly, Admiral Kilnok found himself in a white room, full of vapour. There was four orbs, who spoke largely in telepathy, but not to Kilnok, to each other, as if he was an insignificant thing. Howerver they eventually spoke to Kilnok, explaining the formation of quantum realities, followed by an explanation of the Entity, and its sinister plan. Suddenly a female voice appeared, which simply said "show him".

Next, Kilnok found himself on a weird floating plaftform, with two strange looking creatures next to him. They explained that they were the "Transaurians", who had merged their bodies with cynernetic implants and encounter suits. They took him on a trip to their time, when the DCP was a Tier 1 civilzation, able to explore the sixth dimension. They revealed the DCP was colonising hyperspace, neutron strs and planetary cores, material wealth had been replaced by virtual objects, that information such as subspace holonet had been replaced by telepathy. Kilnok asked, why they were revealing so much about the future, one replied, don't get too exited, this is one of many timelines. They took him to two other possible futures, one with a graver ending to the DCP, and one unexpected reality where the universe had destroyed itsself naturally with False Vacuums. They explained again, how the entity was going to fold the entire fith dimension into the sixth dimension. Soon, the platform folded into the sixth dimension, and they shot back the past.

Before he knew it, he found himself in a large assembaly. Eventually he recorgnised it, it was were the DCP had been founded, a few hundred yeas ago. Then, he got the shock of his life when he saw his younger self. It was his job to carry the forms to the leaders of the founding empires. But as he looked on, he noticed something odd was occuring. His younger self, was trapped in a time loop. In fact, the whole assembaly was but him. He had no choice but to break the loop. He shot his younger self dead. The loop ended, before the entity could fold the fith dimension into the sixth.

Admiral Kilnok had again saved reality, and all possible futures! Suddenly, he found himself back in the white room in the presence of the orbs. They spoke more respectfully to him, but Kilnok told them, that they were not living real lives. In another moment, he was back on the bridge of his starship. The anomaly and ship had gone. Admiral Horlin knew when something was up with his old friend, so Kilnok invited all the crew to the Captains table, he had a long story to tell...

However, the entity had not been defeated, maybe he is the reason why by the Legacy era, the DCP had stopped "singing", this will be a quest and mystery for the future races to discover...

= Future stories = These are stories from the far future, however, it is spread across space and time, but each are deeply connected to each other.
 * The Core:A group of Transaurians had evolved to live inside a planetary core. However, they have forgotten their original mission.
 * The Last Haven:It is 100 trillion years AD, and the stars are burning out. The last civilizations live a cold and harsh existence huddled around dim stellar ashes.  All attempts to save the universe have failed.
 * Home among stars:Long after the DCP had ascended into the 10th dimension, the intelligent but primitive Hafvor had evolved in the Stellar engine. The artificial megastructure of stars was what they called home.  Their whole lives surrounded the Engine.
 * Holographic reality:A world of infomation. Set in the far future, the DCP inhabits the 5th dimension, now reformed as the BCC where it can play entire universes as CD's, and perhaps the greatest weapon of all is devised...
 * Two Nations:Some time in the future, the colonists live on a Globus Cassus split into two nations, both existing on either side of the equatorial regions. Over many generations, something happens...

The Last Haven
''See my adventure - The Last Haven

Herateedon, was a young Manticod. He had been brought up on a world called, "The Last Haven". Herateedon always thought this was a strange name, why was this "The last Haven". Most people who he questioned, were unwilling to tell him, they were embarrised, or didn't know themselves. However, soon, the colony was going to go on a "journey" for hope. Last Haven was a rather barren planet, but to Herateedon, he did not know any different, he had never been offworld, not that it mattered...

However, one day, he befriended an old, wise Manticod, called Jaerookie. He asked why the colony was called the Last Haven, and Jaerookie, told him to meet him by Istaron, a hill near the Great Plains. He snook out the Cord, a bunch of flats. They supposedly had the cleanest water on Last Haven, but was usually a rusty brown. As dawn broke, he rushed out into the cold, barren wastelands. And thats where he met Jaerookie. As they watched the sun rise over the Great plain, its dull red light barely lighting the horizon. Herateedon asked the question he was always burning to know, but few could dare to tell.

"So, why do they call this, The Last Haven?"

- Herateedon.

Are you sure you want to know, your perspective on life will change. --Jaerookie Yes, I am prepared and intrigued. --Herateedon ''Many trillions of years ago, my young friend, the universe was a beautiful place, there was once skies of blue, skies of green, and all the other colours. Planets were filled with life and warmth, and life was great. Food and water was nearly always abundant.''--Jaerookie ''Blue sky? What was that like?''--Herateedon ''I'm afaid I can't tell you, for it was many, many generations before me, or my great grandfather. However, my surname, still carries the name.'' --Jaerookie Why isn't it like that now?--Herateedon ''Because, the universe is dying, a slow lumbering death. It is down to Entropy.'' --Jaerookie Entropy?--Herateedon ''The total amount of disorder increased in the universe, the world you, I and everyone else lives in today is a high entropic universe, slowly decaying. The amount of usable hydrogen in the universe ran out, so new stars couldn't form. Once stars were much bigger and brighter than they are today. Eventually, most of the existing stars ceased to exist, and with no new stellar formation, the few stars you see today, are the very last. Civilizations are on the edge. The Last Haven, really is, the last planet of life. They tried evverything, such as gathering hydrogen from other universes, or using wormholes to clump it up, but this only increased entropy. Some of the greater civilizations navigated to a new universe, but now, civilizations today cannot the generate the energy needed to do so.''--Jaerookie ''Why has no one told me? ''--Herateedon ''Because, nobody likes to talk about this dismal end, especially not to young people such as yourselves, they think at least if you are happy, there is still a piece of paradise left. This monocoddling is wrong if you ask me. There is one final hope, you may have heard being mentioned.''--Jaerookie ''It will only get worse, the stellar ashes shall burn out, planets will be flung from their orbits, and swarms of black holes will consume the rest. Finally, the proton will decay, black holes will evaporate, and nothing but a void will be left. Our Journey, will begin tmorrow, the whole town will join. I have told you this because I don't want you to leave this universe without knowing why.''--Jaerookie ''It is a portal, designed by an ancient empire, who were called the Transaurians. We believe the portal was left behind for the future races.''--Jaerookie. Soon, a great snowcloud was forming in the horizon, and before everything would freeze over, the two walked back to the Cord. They passed a herd of silicon-based life, the crystalline organisms being able to surive a bit easier than carbon-based life. They walked on, past the Pit, careful that they would not get tangled in webs. Finally, they reached the cable car, which would bring them into the valley.

Later that day, the whole town had assembled, Lord Eshgon, led them to the portal. As Herateedon walked, he felf excitement, as well as a nagging sense of nerves and angxiety in his stomach. Then, they reached the portal, built by the brilliant craftsmenship of the Transaurians. As it began charging however, a rival colony had attacked, in their scrap cars, armed with machine guns. The colony had its defenses, and after the battle, the rival colony was defeated, but when the colony turned to its portal, they found that it was ready, however, it was too late, the portal had run out of power. In the midst of fighting, the Manticod, had missed their chance. Their own stupidity in fighting, had led to their doom. The portal, their last hope, had ran out of power, and could never be charged up again. When everyone looked for Lord Eshgon, they find that he was dead.

The End.

Chapter 1 - Dawn breaks
The bright cycle had began. As the habitat tilted towards a nearby star, its first rays of warmth began to filter through the silicon glass. A faint violet glow began to form around the edges of the ship, reacting with the deadly radiation. As this "dawn" broke out, sounds could be heard, life began to wake up, yet so close to the vacuum of space. The Hafvor began their day. Using the branches, the Hafvor began their day, using their arms to help guide them to rise up to the fruits growing at the top of the trees. One of the Hafvor, known simply by the others as Uooorshhh (a word that could not be prenounced by most humanoids) joined the rest of his tribe, while others, the sentries, kept a look out for watched predators. As Uooorshhh was about half way up, he heard a sudden warning call, and in the next second, a large branch with a sharp edge was sticking up and was floating up quickly towards him. It could easily slice him in half, however, time almost seemed to slow down. However, his means of escape was pretty obvious to a Hafvor, all he needed to do was jump off the branch he was on, he would simply float out of the way. This was the great advantage of living in a weightless enviroment. The Hafvor did not inhabit a planet, instead, they had evolved in the habitat rings of the Stellar Engine. They did not understand any differently, the habitat ring, and the various stars that built the Stellar Engine was all that the Hafvor knew of the universe. Either the glare of the stars blotted out the starry sky, or that when at night, the thermal shielding automatically covers the silicon glass to retain the heat.

Chapter 2 - Glitches
The Hafvor continued on with their day, gracefully unaware of what they lived in. Uooorshhh had a brush with death, however, it was laughed off with his friends later. They had picked their fruits. The fruits, were actually seeds, kept moist in droplets of sweet liquid that grow in 360 degrees. Usually, water droplets just flowed trough the air, but tiny hairs suspended the droplets. The fruits were not actually essential to the Hafvor other than a supply of water, most of the day, the tribe would float with their photosynthetic backs at the stars, and then in each cycle, sleep near the thermal shielding, as their world can get very cold during night cycle. However, the tribe enjoyed the "smell" of the berries, as their skin has the ability to taste and smell, so was nice to be rubbed over the skin. Already, the night cycle was aleady drawing in, but then Uooorshhh thought to himself, this day was shorter than usual. In fact, for the last few hundred cycles, days and nights had varied in length. Uooorshhh was getting nervous, and so was his friends. He went to seek the knowledge master (shamen) who was several land clicks (habitation rings) north of the village. His friends told him to go the knowledge Master in the next cycle, but Uooorshhh replied and when will the next cycle be and how long will that last for? Despite the dangers of the cold, he began his journey. He remembered the stories, of foolish Hafvor that had wandered into the night and had vanished, never to be seen again, he wondered if he would soon join them, to become one of the examples warned to children for generations to come, or maybe not, he didn't think he was very significant...

However, the walk wasn't too far, and Uooorshhh stayed close to as many thermal insulators as possible. He then noticed as the sunlight was dwindling, the great floating forests of plants closed up to trap in the heat. Sometimes, when trapped out at night, some Hafvor have survived by entering the closing leaves, but others have been crushed. At last, just before the last rays were swallowed up by the converging darkness, Uooorshhh had made it to the Knowledge master's thermal shield. These shields, were ancient layers of metal and liquid, said to be named Thermal insulators by the creators themselves.

The Knowledge Master, grumpy and unsocialable by nature was not too pleased that a Hafvor had nearly been frozen by the All Consuming Darkness, however, after some conversation, Uroooshhh and the Master discussed the odd happenings. The Knowledge Master believed that a great sickness had come over the god of the cycles, who was somehow diseased. He could no longer fight off the All Consuming Darness. Uroooshhh took this all in quite seriously, the Masters were notable for their greater understanding on how things in the world worked. As the conversation went on Uroooshhh noticed strange things held within the compartments of branches, including several strange objects, that seemed to be made out of something similar to the thermal shields. The Knowledge Master, saw him lapse in concentration, distracted by the strange shiny objects. The Master, then brought one of them down, ans switched one on. This is an nata pad, something the creators or even gods them selves used.'' How did you find it? Asked Uhooorshhh, It fell from the sky, I am trying to work out what it does.

Already, by now, the next day cycle was already beginning. The Knowledge Master was even surprised, normal days and nights never lasted long, but the length and duration was being chaotic. ''I am worried for our world, Uroooshhh. How are we supposed to collect enough sunlight to nourish ourselves, what if everything freezes over and the day cycle never returns? This could be the end of us all. Do not tell the rest of the tribe, we do not want panic on our hands, this is something for the Knowledge Masters to solve''. Uroooshhh hurried home, again, nervous that the All Consuming Darkness would envelope the world again very soon. When he got home, his friends were glad to see that he had survived.

Chapter 3 - Disaster
For a while afterwards, it seemed the day and night cycles had returned to normal. Uroooshhh began to forget his fears of impending doom. Until...

It was a normal day, until the night cycle. When the darkness came rolling in, the Hafvor went off to their usual grappling beds that lie near the thermal shielding insulators, where it was still warm. But to their horror, the shielding was no where to be seen. As familiar stars went out of view, the metallic shutters that covered up the night sky had not emerged from the floor and ceiling. As the last rays of sunlight went, the temperature started to grow very cold, but no only that, the true, dark sky was finally visible. Distant stars, the galaxy, a sight that had never been gazed on was revealed for the first time. But this was terrifying, as the All Consuming Darkness was now surrounding their entire world.

Luckily, the night cycle was another abnormally short one, and soon the entire habitation ring was facing the stars again. The Hafvor tribe had come extremely close to freezing that night.

All along the habitation sections, the shutters would work in some places but not in others. One day, it happend to another tribe, but not that of Uroooshhh's. Out of desperation, the tribes began to attack each other, so they could conquer the nearest functioning thermal shield (shutter). Eventually, Uroooshhh was contacted by the Knowledge Master. All the Masters had gathered from all known tribes. The Knowledge Master told Uroooshhh that they would set out on a quest to find the legendary the Bridge. It was believed that inside the Bridge, was where the gods resided. The god of the world, SE AI Gaurdian resided on the Bridge. It would be a long trip, on the great Road, where no Hafvor had dared to travel, because it was not the paradise they liked to live in, and that the Great Road was sacred.

Chapter 4 - The Quest
Soon, Uroooshhh and the Knowledge Masters embarked on their quest. They travelled for many, many day and and night cycles, however, despite the length and duration, it was a pretty easy journey, they went where no Hafvor had gone before. Eventually, the Knowledge Masters stopped by the point of of no return. A large metal structure, Uroooshhh had never seen anything like it. One of the Masters, used one of their Nata pads, and activated a switch. The structure, opened. The humming as it did, Uroooshhh had never heard such a sound. Then as it opened, it led to another world, underneath the world he knew, he was surprised how thin the would he lived in was. As they walked through, he watched as he passed from one world to another. Lights activated as soon as they entered, chasing away the All Consuming Darkness. The air tasted very stale arund his skin, which made him creep. There was no life ahead of him, just a long, closed in path. None of the suns were visible from the outside. One of Knowledge Masters said it was a corridor, according to the Nata pad. They carried on walking through this strange world. One of the Masters revealed that they were looking for a legendary strange spirit called a train, that will take them to the Bridge world.

Eventually they did find the train. Uroooshhh wasn't sure how long they had been travelling for, as he had no idea whether it was day or night cycle. But eventually they arrived at the lair of Train. As the Knowledge Masters floated up to it, a light activated, and suddenly a large long beast shot out and stopped where the Knowledge Masters stood. Uroooshhh felt uneasy about going in, but he had gone too far to turn back, and he had a chance of meeting the god herself.

They got in, strange objects were inside. One of the Knowledge Masters said it was a chair. "What is a chair", Uroooshhh questioned? "I am not sure, but according to ancient legends passed down Master by master, the gods or creators used to sit in them". "Sit?", as ked Uroooshhh. "One of the great unsolved mysteries" said his Master. In the Stellar Engine, trains run to and from the Bridge and other places automatically. After entering the trains mouth, the train began to move. It travelled very fast, faster than any creature Uroooshhh had ever seen, and to everyone's astonishment, it left the world all together, soon it was travelling from world to world (habitation decks and rings), yet surrounded by the many stars that make the Engine. Eventually they arrived at their first stop, but tragedy sttrikes around every corner. As the train stopped, one of the Knowledge Masters got out thinking it was the Bridge. The air was sucked out the train, and the Master fell to the ground. The door swung shut, and as the Hafvor watched, they couldn't help their fallen friend. He was being pushed to the ground by an unseen force, and couldn't breath. He was being crushed, the look of terror on his face soon went blank as he struggled with the last breath. Uroooshhh's Master began to several chants, to ward off this demon. The Master said it was called gravity, an ancient demon that was banished from the World in the ancient times by the gods.

There was a sense of sadness throughout the group. However, the train continued. It went up now, and as it did, everyone felt a slight force pushing them back. However, the central complex was in view. A large ring and tower, the train left the tunnel and went out of a chamber, straight into the great All Consuming Darkness, they had now left the Worlds completely. Soon, they reached the the central complex. "We have arrived at the Bridge". The train stopped, and the doors opened, but fortunately, gravity was nowhere to be felt. They continued until they reached another spirit, similar to the train. It travelled vertically soon after they entered. Uroooshhh could hear strange sounds, was it music? It was not all too pleasant, not like the music played in his tribe. "This spirit is called an elevator according to the scriptures on the wall", said one of the Masters. The Elevator stopped, the doors opened. There was the Bridge. Lights activated. Everyone looked around for the gods. But where were they? Had this journey all been for nothing?

Chapter 5 - SE AI Registery Mark 1
There was a sense of disappointment between some of the Knowledge Masters, but Uroooshhh's Master was still expecting something. And he said wait. And everyone did. Eventually, after a while of waiting, the wise old Master turned out to be correct. Suddenly, a strange box, started to glow, with strange patterms starting to appear on its transparent surface. Then, something out of the blue occured. An aparicion of a three dimensional creature, or spirit, slighty transparent, appeared, flickering in its light. It had two long strange parts underneath it, purched on the floor, but wait, nothing stands on the floor unless held down. Suddenly Uroooshhh felt a rise in fear, had gravity returned? But he was reassured when he saw he was still floating. Then, the spirit spoke, with a slight female accent. As it did so, the entire bridge world shook and reverberated.

''I am the one you seek. I am Stellar Engine Artificial Intelligence Registery Mark 1, the first and only surviving Engine. - SE AI We have come to you, our god. For we -'' - Knowledge Master I know, the glitches. - SE AI Is somekind of illness afflicting you? - Knowledge Master In some ways yes.- SE AI Can we help? - Uroooshhh That depends on your intelligence. - SE AI

SE AI Registery Mark 1 explained to the Hafvor, that their little world was not the only universe. That a much greater reality lies beyond, and that whenver night falls, the ship insulates its enviroments, shutting away the starry sky, the universe beyond. But during the day, the glare of the suns, hides away the stars and the universe beyond. SE AI, was indeed created, by ancient beings billions of years ago. After their disappearence, almost as if they were running, however, SE AI is not sure. However, the AI was kept working, maybe everyone had forgot to switch it off. It maintained the habitats for billions of years, automatically. However, through the complex interactions between the Engine and its stars, it evolved a conciousness of its own (a Matrioshka brain). However, eventually, its systems began to run down, it stopped spinning, and without the centrifugal force, the habitats became weightless. Life inside persisted to survive, only barely. This life originated from the creators homeworld, Mirenton. The Hafvor had no concept of planets and the outside world, until SE AI used holograms to show them. But in the last few years, one of the stars, began to lose much of its hydrogen fuel. It began to swell. As stars were part of the Conciousness, like giant hypercomplex neurons, this "cancer" was causing the Engine's systems to malfunction, causing glitches in the artificial day and night cycle. SE AI would have done something about it, it, she, would have ejected the star, but sadly those systems had long gone. She had little control over that part of the megastructure. It was now up to the Hafvor, to potentially save their world. She sent them back on the train, and directed it to the Stellar Control deck. She would be able to have limited control over life support, but only for a short time.

Chapter 6 - Saving the world
Uroooshhh and the Knowledge Masters boarded the train, it would be another long journey, but as they travel to the Stellar Control Deck, SE AI will prepare to get limited life support in the deck. "Deck"? All these strange words, he once knew these places as part of the World. Travelling to the Stellar Control Deck might be another long trip, but he had a lot to take in to pass the time. SE AI, was not the world, SE AI, was created? But she is the creator? And what of this outside world, of planets and gravity? What kind of beings lived there? Were they created, contemplating the same thing, did they inhabit all those others stars he witnessed during the Great Disaster? But SE AI, was also not as all powerful as once believed. "She was dying, no, malfunctioning"? Uroooshhh now learned there was a lot to learn about the universe. He looked at his Knowledge Masters, who seemed so calm and complacent. They had just met the goddess!

Eventually, the train neared the Stellar Engineering Deck. This "ring", was much closer to one of the suns that Uroooshhh had ever been. This sun was always obscure, never to be seen by the eyes of a Hafvor before, not even the furthest explorers, well, they were the furthest explorers. This sun, was very different to the usual, it was brighter, bigger and redder. They were so close, almost scarily close. The glare was getting bright, painfully bright, however, the silicon glass, as SE AI called it, seemed to adapt and get darker, maybe it was protecting their eyes, one of the mechanisms of the previous creators. Eventually, the train entered through a tube and into the Stellar Control Deck, the terribly bright sun suddenly vanished behind the rim. There was a strange green mist in Uroooshhh's vision, caused by the suns glare, almost as godly as SE AI herself...

The train stopped. The doors opened and lights activated, barely. The rooms were much more compacted, and were much more scruffy looking. The lights themselves, flickered. As the train stopped, the Uroooshhh felt a shiver as there was a slight presence of gravity, but not enough to force him or the most elderly of Knowledge Masters to the floor. The air, still stale if not staler than in the other decks, stung his flesh. In fact, it was much thinner and warmer, yet it was dry, drying his four throats. This wouldn't be a pleasant trip. SE AI had generated arrows, pointing to where the Control Deck was. The group found the deck, but what to do now? SE AI's presence was still lingering, but she could not stay for long, and was already waning. But there was a panel, with SE AI had already unlocked its security sequences. All they needed to do was pull out the crystal, whatever that was. But the long, violet shiny crystal was in the center. All the Hafvor joined in pulling it out. But suddenly, SE AI's voice crackled, "Get out of there!", air was already starting to seep away, but as it did, pressure was weakening the ancient silicon glass, however, the crystal, it was still only half the way out. "Oh no, it can't"! shouted one of the seemingly calmest Knowledge Masters. It was almost out, but suddenly, cracks appeared in the glass, air was being sucked out, one of the Masters was sucked away with it, but was stook on the inside of the glass. He couldn't get away. They decided to flee, all but one. Uroooshhh's Knowledge Master refused to leave. They got out, only barely before the doors shut, but as they watched from another window, the crystal was yanked out, but at that very moment, the glass exploded, the crystal and the two Masters went flying into oblivion. They solmenly went back to the train. They had saved the world, and as they watched, the red star began to leave the grip of the Engine, it was floating away.

The Hafvor returned to the Bridge. SE AI said the deaths of the three Knowledge Masters was not in vain. SE AI was saved. However, she had been brain damaged, as each star was responsible for the collective consciousness, a part had been disconnected. SE AI would survive, but was now much less powerful. SE AI and the Hafvor, would have to work togther in symbiosis, in order to stay alive. SE AI would teach the Hafvor the universe, if the Hafvor tribes united under one banner, to progress into civilization...

The End.

Holographic reality
By now, the members of the DCP have evolved, and transcended the restrictions of life as combining their bodies into one species, the Transaurians, using advanced genetic manipulation and cybernetics. However, they were still lifeforms, and still had to reproduce. But this wasn't the end point of their evolution, the Transaurians were eventually exploring the Bulk, crossing entire braneworlds, each with their own unique properties, Level I, II and III universes. Some where cylinders, and when they would spin, time travel would occur, and all dimensions were connected, (in a Misner space, any observer, would see an infinite sequence of themselves, because up and down, left and right are connected), other braneworlds were Null Spaces, where left and right were no different. The laws of physics, mathematics, topology and the symmetries that govern each one were radically different. However, the Transaurians hadn't stopped there. When they came to the fith dimension, physical matter could not exist, only information. The Transaurians began to transcend their physical bodies, to become beings of pure consciousness. However, rather than ascension, it was a technological singularity, the Transaurians merged into a collective mind, and then "uploaded" itself to the fith dimension. This collective mind was known as the Big Collective Consciousness, the BCC. While minds could still exist individually, most of the time the Minds existed as one. The DCP, had finally achieved true merging. The BCC existed in nine dimensions by now, utilising each one. In the fith dimension, energy and matter exists as information, in which can be computed like a CD program. At the plank length (the shortest distance possible, at 10-33 cm), spacetime becomes foamy, but can also be digitalized, and appears like bits.

However, the BCC was at war. A battle that had waged for many millenia. The enemy was the Unseen Entity, the greatest enemy of the DCP/BCC of all. However, a large group of minds had chased the Enity into another universe. Cornered, the Unseen Entity, defended itself. But the BCC, had an incredible weapon that can wreak unimaginable chaos on a universe. The weapon, considered impossible, could destroy information. It is a law of the nature, that information cannot be destroyed or lost, only changed, even black holes, eventually leak information back into the universe. But this weapon, could gather all the matter and energy (information), and tie it up in folded higher dimensions. The infomation is ripped off the universe, and is imprisoned in a Calabi Yau manifold in the tenth dimension. The Unseen Entity fought back, but as information was being ripped off the universe, the universe was losing mass, and Dark energy, sped up. Eventually, so much mass was lost, that space became incredibly flat, and expanded so quickly, creating a Big Rip. A whole universe was destroyed in the battle.

It was then discovered that the Unseen Entity was not physical, and was not effected by the weapon. Just the Minds and the Unseen Entity were left. The Minds left the dying universe, and travelled into the fith dimension, where it played back the whole scenario again, computing the information stolen from the destroyed universe (about 10100 bits of it actually). There was something very interesting that existed there, but now it was gone forever. For if the Minds played the universe back, they would create a paradox, as their former selves might also exist, or it would create an entirely new quantum universe, giving the Unseen Entity even more power. Information is encoded in the fith dimension, however, almost like a hologram, the three dimensional physical reality of the universe is projected from the fith dimension, as if the third dimension is a shadow, or hologram. The conversation happend in the fith dimension, and the Minds were flat and two dimensional.

The Minds were left contemplating the meaninglessness of existence...

The End.

Deep Time
Some time, whether it be in the future or in the past is unknown, but a pair of Transaurians had been imprisoned in a time loop, perhaps by the future DCP, by another Tier 0 empire, or even the Unseen Entity. However, the time loop didn't last for eternity, and in 10100 years, they were free. However, they had woken up in a very different universe. The universe had long existed in the Dark era. Stars had ceased to exist, black holes had evaporated, and the proton had decayed, destroying all matter that remained in the universe. It can had become a very dark and cold place, just above absolute zero. However, due to proton decay, the Transaurians discovered they would soon die a horrific death, as they were being ripped into a soup of subatomic particles. However, using the energy from the decaying protons, they powered their advanced technology to make them into beings of pure consciousness.

But in such a cold universe, there was little energy to extract or transfer, and time had slowed down immensely. A single thought would last a trillion years or more. In a conversation that lasted many times that of the age of the universe, the minds had nothing better to do than telepathic communication.

"Well, what a boring existence this has become. Dark and miserable, with no hope. It was a bad mistake ascending."

- Said one mind.

"Death will come, eventually. Even we as creatures of pure consciousness are not immune to the Heat Death of the universe. As the temperature approaches absolute zero, no more usable energy can be extracted.  The universe will settle into a cold state forever, a void expanding into eternity.  All we have fought for, all we have done, all our history, leads ultimately to this..."

- Said the other.
