EXITING HYPERDRIVE.ALERT: HYPERDRIVE ENGINES PERMANENTLY DAMAGED.SCANNING SURROUNDINGS FOR LIFE.
Antis's voice echoed through the command deck, mechanical yet calm.
Regillia's eyes flickered open. She stood from her command throne, brushing her silver-black braid behind her shoulder. "Hmm… so it's time," she murmured.
A CIVILIZATION IS DETECTED, BUT THEY REGISTER LOW ON THE KARDASHEV SCALE.
"Okay then… Enlarge," she said with a flick of her wrist.
POWERING UP SHRINK DRIVE.
A shimmer cracked through the fabric of space. From apparent emptiness, a massive fleet manifested—each vessel stretching across kilometers, emerging from compressed dimensions like beasts unchained.
Regillia turned her gaze outward toward the abyss. The haunting aura of Tonantzintla 618, the largest known black hole in the lower dimensions, loomed before them like a slumbering god.
[THIS IS THE LARGEST KNOWN BLACK HOLE IN THE EXPLORED LOWER DIMENSIONS. ARE YOU SURE YOUR CALCULATIONS ARE CORRECT?] enquired Eve"Mmm," Regillia nodded. "This plan has a 99.9% chance of success." replied Regillia
[And the missing 0.1%?]
"I don't deal in absolutes." saying that she shifted her attention to the data which was showing on the screen
"ANTIS, status on the civilization?"
DATA UNAVAILABLE. DEPLOYING PROBE AT SUB-LIGHT SPEED.
"Smart choice."
She paused, then asked, "How far are we from home?"
WE ARE CURRENTLY IN ANTZINTLA-9, LOCATED 2.838 QUADRILLION LIGHT-YEARS FROM THE ALCYONEUS GALAXY.
Regillia exhaled. "So far from home..." she thought to herself and took action for why she came here.
she commanded to ANTIS "Initiate Project Oblivion Archive."
ACKNOWLEDGED.CONNECTION ESTABLISHED TO ALL 10,456 CARGO BOXES.
Behind her, the massive cargo compartments opened. Thousands of rectangular boxes detached and began drifting, guided by micro-thrusters. Like sleeping titans, the components waited to awaken.
Regillia watched with calculating serenity. "I've already prepared the gravity core and a controlled star. Use them. Begin enlargement protocols. The mold for the core is in Garage 678CD."
Twenty Years Ago...
She had begun crafting both. One—an artificial star, tamed and caged. The other—a singularity-born gravity core, compressed from an imploded neutron matrix. Together, they would form the heart of her new sanctuary.
Now, one kilometer kong square box moved out of garage 678CD. the moment the box was removed the object enlarged revealing a 2000 km radius pure-white sphere. Regillia gave the next order.
"Open the core."
The sphere split at its equator. Two hemispheres pulled apart, linked by three golden support pillars. Between them—three perfectly spaced cavities forming a glowing equilateral triangle.
Regillia raised her hand. "Move the artificial star to the first cavity. Gravity core to the second."
Two glowing spheres emerged from the fleet and moved into position.
She turned her gaze to the silent figure beside her.
"It's your turn. For the past fifty years, you've been useless. Now, it's time to be useful."
Caelus, her brother, tensed—but resistance was futile. The thought of rebellion vanished as quickly as it formed. A small sphere rolled toward him and touched his leg. It expanded upward—nano-machinery wrapping his body, forming a suit.
Caelus saw Regillia's back as she was looking at the the core. The core is surrounded by small black bloxes. Waiting for their role.
The moment when the helmet was completed his suddenly Callus's vision altered. As he looked and he concluded that he was occupying the 3rd cavity in the core. He looked up and all he saw was 10 menacing looking ships pointed at him. There was some kind of liquid present in the cavity in which he submerge
He was the third element of the core.
"All three pieces are in place," Regillia announced. "Close the core."
The hemispheres rotated and sealed shut, forming a perfect, seamless black sphere. Darkness rippled around it.
"Now, enlarge the cargo and connect to the core."
One cargo box moved. Its packaging unfolded. The interior structure rapidly expanded into a massive cone—top curved, tip hollow. The cone's narrow end latched onto the black core.
[THE FIRST STEP TO BUILDING THE PLANET-SIZED LABORATORY IS COMPLETE. NOW ADD THE REMAINING MODULES.] Eve said.
Piece after piece joined the core—vast structures forming symmetrical arms, reinforced rings, data towers, dimensional anchors, and climate chambers. The process took nearly two years.
Finally, the construction was done.
OBLIVION ARCHIVE IS COMPLETE.ALL SYSTEMS STABILIZED.
Regillia stood at the bridge, overlooking the monument of her legacy. The final form was magnificent—a perfect white sphere, 15,000 kilometers in radius, adorned with six colossal rings extending outward from its six cardinal points: top, bottom, left, right, front, and back.
"Move the 10 fleets to GCW-1," she ordered. "Park them there."
Then she smiled. "Now... let's explore my new lab."
One Year Later
She had spent a full year modifying, calibrating, and refining every system within the lab. Meanwhile the entire facility had been charging its hyperdrive for the past 3 years.
Now, she sat once again on the command throne at the center of her world.
She raised her hand, voice cold and steady.
"Do it."
The lab shuddered. Hyperdrive engaged—and in an instant, the entire Oblivion Archive vanished from Antzintla-9 and reappeared, hovering precisely at the event horizon of Tonantzintla 618.The hyperdrive did not turn off, if the turn off the hyperdrive then the whole research facility will be sucked into the blackhole.
Outside her window, the cosmos bent like liquid around the black hole's edge. Time froze. Space whispered.
