When the universe is at peace as wars forever cease, human beings will be distinct as the latest forms to be extinct - Jesof Gallion
----- Even though there is relative tranquility in the galaxy, a feared soothsayer predicts the end of the human race.
----- Shortly afterward, all human life is believed to have been liquidated by an alien presence.
----- In the meantime, a pair of treasure hunters obtain an ancient artifact - one alleged to hold the secret to immortality.
----- What is found within it is puzzling, however, since it concerns items that are older than humanity, itself, refers to a planet of beings who no longer exist, contains unknown forms of life inside and makes special note of an individual named Jesus Christ.
----- At the same time, the most devastating force in the universe is accidentally created.
Excerpt

"Subsequently, it has been determined that this celestial phenomena -" His voice catches for an instant as he takes Dollett into consideration. "- is a BLACK HOLE."
