“New Houston, I’m approaching the outer rim. I will be out of direct com range soon, and engaging hibernation. All systems are clear. Mission is a go. Newton-8 over and out.”
“Roger that Newton-8. Phase 2 is a go. Godspeed.”
Awake… out among the stars…
Where… no one else has been…
We… have traveled from afar…
Now… our task… begins…
Starlight closing
Departing from all that is known
Father goodbye
Sacrifice made for all mankind
Signal Fading
Lightyears of distance we have flown
Human experience
Will overcomе the grand design
Disappearеd
The last three probes
And here we are
Following
Volunteered
Heart and soul
Through the darkness
Flying
Determined to persevere
Sailing towards our last hope
Collapsed star
Lies waiting
Yet unclear
We don’t know
If we’ll be drawn apart
Spaghettified
Atoms wide
Or pass into the
Unknown
Entering, the Double Helix Nebula
Subspace
Slip drive
Starting
Countdown
Five
Four
Three
Two
One
The tendrils of Light beckon me closer
Dancing visions of radiant fantasy
Stardust forms the guiding beacon
To the throne room of the idiot god
The center calls us forth
To Nathan and Albert’s Bridge
A path to being reborn
If that’s, what it really is…
The model is sound
We will be allowed
…to pass
Even if I die
It’s better this way
I had to leave
Couldn’t stay
I must get…
…away
Behold a fool, running from his problems
Bearing away his pain into the barren void of
Space!
…and the Challenger Deep, of the Milky Way
Elevated Vitals, do not
Despair
Fulfilling our purpose, we are nearly
There
Or, are
We?
But nothing was ever, quite so simple
Nothing gained, without the venture
But this one saw fit, to playing at, being the hero
And cast himself, into the leading role
Hurtling through the cosmos, towards the
Deepest, Darkest, Bleakest, Blackest, hole
Detecting
Hawking Radiation
Proceed
With Caution
Mentally preparing to enter a heart of darkness
Forming the Will to, pave the way
If the last of our ambitions, fade with the light
At least we dared to sail, the empty sea of night
Gliding around an accretion disk
Composed of stars long since dead
Diving into a black abyss
Not knowing what lies…
Ahead!
Ripped apart, at the seams
Excruciating existence petrified!
Violent Gamma, particle beams
Cellular Matter becomes Ionised!
Covalent structure returning to form
Consciousness becoming realised
Where are we now?
Told of a world
…of vibrant green
…sight unseen
Where life decays, fades away
Such as I am here today
Falling down
Towards my
Certain demise
Powerless
Dying alone in this emptiness
A hopeful light flickers…
…across the screen
System rebooted, scan underway!
Do I have power again?
Error report, damaged array!
I feel the darkness surrounding
Repair function will not engage!
My head, and heart are pounding…
Ego corroding, please end the
Pain!
Turned around
Course Revised
No controls
Please Advise
Damage Sustained, return to base
Going back the way we came
Remain calm, we shall proceed
Return yourself to hypersleep
Can’t turn back
Won’t survive
Shields will fail
Vaporised
No choice now
Shut it down
We’ll burn to death
Nothing left
Access denied
Options limited
Death looming
Pull the plug and float into the void!
Life support disengaged
Oxygen begins to fade
Controls Dead
Sanity is frayed
Everything here an echo of my past
Each reflection becoming a little worse
Entropy, shall claim me at last
Futility, chapter and verse
Hail science
Hail the endless void
Adrift and alone within the endless cold
Of this celestial tomb
Closing my eyes, one last time
To all I have to lose
Carried away
My body mourned by none
Nameless to the abyss
Shapes
Bright
Light
