The Alien Artifact 8 (12 page)

The echoes of
things the scientists said about it in their last conversations
haunted his mind.

What the hell
had he done? Why had he done it? Surely he should have just left
the thing in the cavity! They had no idea what it was, and it could
be the end of mankind!

He watched the
probe and a robotic device they were maneuvering there!

It had to be
some form of ancient voyager, which could very well be billions of
years old, which they had only been able to check a few basic
functions of, which nobody had shown any proper awareness of the
function of.

Even though
they had found a way to activate it could they finally find a way
of finding out what it was for?

For some
reason, without thinking, he felt the diamond in his spacesuit
pocket.

He tried to
communicate with the alien sphere like he had done when he had
first found it in the cavity at the center of the hill and tried to
find out what its function was and what it wanted.

He thought of
all the occurrences and facts about it, as he tried to grasp
something he had missed, and he felt its powerful energy, like it
went out across space and somewhere else, with so much force that
it even threatened to make space and time warp or completely rip
away, and he wondered what damage the Earth could be subjected
to.

A sudden explosion of energy blasted out at
him and the other members of the shuttle crew, from the energy
sphere, and left them stunned, and by its colossal power
surrounding them, and they contemplated its vast dangers and that
they could not escape.

The strength of it was staggering, and they
plunged into its confines, hurtling into a black abyss, where only
a strange faint existence existed, and an explosion of movement,
frenzy of activity, located them at different points in space and
time, making vast leaps across the cosmos, emerging in vast
mind-bending star regions, with a capacity inconceivable, searching
for something!

The Dyson
Stargate

Chapter 1

The Black Hole
Discovery

The shuttle crew astronauts entered a
laboratory in their Mars base in their spacesuits, entering its
vacuum, and they stood staggered with their mouths wide open,
wondering what the hell was going on, as they observed a pulsating
black hole, inside a chamber, surrounded by heavy equipment.

Commander Cronenberg was the first to spot
the equipment was creating a powerful magnetic field, concentrated
in the chamber, holding the black hole firmly in place, as it
attempted to escape and expand, but only gave occasional swift
surges and spins, and he listened to the leading scientists
carrying out a series of experiments.

The magnetic fields they had originally been
using had not been powerful enough to contain explosions and the
discovery of the alien energy sphere had altered their research,
and their research on it had come up with new findings, and new
technology to create and manipulate magnetic fields, and they had
found ways to create black hole particles, in high explosion
particle accelerators.

They had been able to slow the particle size
black holes disappearances with new more powerful and concentrated
magnetic fields, to study, and had been able to alter and increase
the magnetic fields to freeze them, keeping the miniature rips in
space and time in existence, and they had found ways to create vast
amounts of them, combining them, creating one large black hole,
which they slowly increased in size to its current state.

Ever since their shuttle had crashed on Mars
incredible discoveries had been emerging all around him!

When they had been drawn into the alien
energy sphere blackness had engulfed Cronenberg and the five
shuttle crew members as they had hurtled out the universe, into an
abyss, and they had been found lying on the ramp going up to the
energy sphere screen, and none of them had properly recalled what
had happened later and why they had awakened there!

Back at the base the scientists had continued
to question them, and had not let it go, as they were determined to
get answers, as their attempts to communicate with the alien energy
sphere now failed and they were unable to send anything into
it.

They were getting desperate for answers, and
other scientists were getting more and more desperate to get them
from them, and they had done everything they could to bring their
memories back.

It was incredible, and it was incredible that
they had been carrying out experiments in the secret laboratory
they were now at, which he had not heard anything about, from
anywhere before, and he realized just how secretive the place was,
and that they had not even allowed it to be built on the Earth, as
it would have been found out by someone at some point!

They had been trying to create black holes
and keep them in existence but had constantly been failing, and
they had even used powerful particle accelerators and powerful
explosions, and he believed that they had made holes in space and
time but they had been unable to keep the gateways open.

The abnormal antics of the scientists
there captivated him
–
mystifying him with the depth of their
nervousness, and fear of something! They repetitively studied
everything, with alarm
–
preparing themselves for some unknown
event!

What were they going to do? Had something
else been discovered, with their new experiments?

Suddenly a swift flash of light
exploded out and a flickering beam blasted into the black hole’s
sphere
–
silencing everyone. It vanished into its depths and they
monitored it with equipment, and checked results.

The black hole, trapped in the middle of its
chamber, was spinning swiftly, and he wondered again why there was
a vacuum there, and they all had to wear spacesuits, and he
recalled it was because the chamber and black hole were not covered
by anything as the black hole would have sucked the atmosphere out
the room.

Scientists wheeled out a large object, with
the shape of a rocket, and he followed them and the five astronauts
to a white line on the floor, marking the closest region they could
approach the black hole, and they watched how powerful it was
there, and with its powerful vibrations blasting through the
floor.

One of the astronauts decisively asked the
leading scientist there what it was and he turned and examined
them, and gasped!

“
A black
hole probe!” he swiftly replied. “We are going to send it into its
confines, and it is designed to return out its confines and give us
accurate data of what’s there – and we’ll perhaps be able to use it
to examine the outer universe, and what’s there!”

Cronenberg was surprised that they could send
something into it, as it looked so dangerous and powerful, and he
was sure that it could destroy anything in its confines.

A cable was also attached to the end of the
probe, to help receive information and pull it out if it never
emerged outwards itself, and he watched its forces pulling it into
it, and they used equipment to shift it accurately into the black
hole, and it motionlessly hovered over the floor.

The probe
resembled some form of highly advanced black missile, and he
examined it for damage, and for any signs of the powerful forces
acting upon it as it approached the black hole.

With a loud
blast, the probe launched and shot straight into its central region
and vanished, and approximately a minute later it reappeared, after
the completion of its mission, with it having traveled out the
universe, and he watched scientists celebrating their success, and
they rushed to their equipment to start their long research of what
it found.

Cronenberg
gasped at all the technology they were using and realized that they
might be able to detect a hidden universe about them – and outer
dimensions.

Its lethal appearance was now astonishing,
and resembled a large black bubble of pure energy of unknown
origins, buzzing wildly and dangerously, ready to discharge.

While they stood waiting for the completion
of the mission, and any findings, he sensed something peculiar
about the black hole and he kept his eyes there, and he listened to
the five astronauts and scientists further out, with their
captivating facts, through his spacesuit communicator.

He
recalled things about black holes and one old theory that
space was full of black holes from events like the big
bang!

Suddenly he realized what was different about
the black hole and that the vibrations from it, going through the
floor, had altered, and he saw that the black hole now had a
strange look, as though it was doing something, and he knew that
something must be happening to it for the reaction to occur, and
its shape started visibly vibrating, as if affected by a powerful
pressure.

While he carefully listened and searched
everything everywhere he noticed the other astronauts noticing it,
and determinedly checking it, and he tried to detect what was
happening first.

At the side of his spacesuit faceplate, while
he watched and listened to them, he glimpsed its hideous black
shadow expand across the floor, and horrific shape coming towards
them, bursting out of its magnetic field, and he stood frigid as it
exploded out, and in an instant they and the black hole vanished
from the laboratory, and his last memory was of the laboratory
erupting into a frenzy of activity as he hurtled into blackness,
and them shooting through something, as if the entire universe shot
by.

Chapter 2

The Extraterrestrial
Force

Blackness engulfed them as they hurtled out
the universe, through an abyss, and stars and galaxies shot by!

Startled last
cries and conversations from them and the scientists swirled
through Cronenberg’s mind, and tormented him!

Had what had
happened actually happened, and where were they hurtling to? He had
never seen and sensed so many stars and celestial objects, and
emptiness in dark regions they entered, and so many stars glowing
so brightly, and for the first time in his life he realized the
vast depths the universe had.

Why had they
not just left in the shuttle on another mission? Why did they have
to have stayed and watched the scientists activate the black
hole?

At times he
felt something there! Something none human! A form of intelligence,
far different from any form of intelligence he had ever
encountered, and even of the alien artifact energy sphere, when he
had discovered it in the cavity in the Martian hill.

It was as
though it was trying to become part of them, but he could not
detect it doing anything!

He had even
unsuccessfully tried to find out information about the diamonds he
had been looking for on Mars, and his treasure map, and the diamond
he had found above the alien artifact energy sphere in the hill,
directly over it, and what it was doing there!

He was now sure
it did something, but he could not grasp what, and tried to examine
it as a vast star constellation exploded across his spacesuit
faceplate, dazzling him with brilliance and dangers.

For a
brief moment he had sensed that there might be diamonds somewhere
else on Mars, and that their long search for them could be
fulfilled, and as they were blasted through the cosmos he watched
the greatest ever wonders float by and he thought through what had
occurred, and his group of
astronauts, and shuttle he was the commander of,
and them mapping the surface of Mars, advancing and testing their
new 22nd century advanced technology, and their arrival at the
unexplored Martian Antarctica when something powerful and strange
had been detected there.

They had
crashed at the Antarctica, after the encounter with an unidentified
force, which they traced to the energy sphere and the alien
artifact under it, and they had been left marooned!

From the start
they knew something was buried away on Mars, but he had originally
believed someone had built something there of colossal power, with
powers beyond anything else they had ever encountered.

When rescued,
and they arrived back at their Martian base, they checked out dead
astronauts, which they found the bodies of, with a map, and checked
why they were there, and discovered hundreds of declassified
military and security service material buried away in an old
library, where they answered some of their unanswered questions,
and he found out about their search for diamonds there, discovered
by a scientist searching for diamonds with a new highly advanced
satellite, and they had returned there to look for them and he had
discovered the alien energy sphere and artifact, and later a form
of diamond on the hill over it.

It was
something with tremendous powers, as ancient as the universe, and
he had felt it had been waiting on their arrival on Mars since the
beginning of the universe.

He tried to
compare it with what he detected was there, and knew they were
different and could not be connected.

At times he
thought it was only a faint consciousness, which he could not
understand, which never even seemed to check what they were or
anything, and he still could not fully grasp what it was or
anything, and he continued to study what was there, with interest,
and he detected something else existed, which was not there, and he
detected great danger there.

Explosions
of radiance of powerful stars
exploded about them stunning him, and they slightly spun, and a
colossal whirlpool of lines magically formed around them, and he
studied it for a long time and realized he had no proper bodily
presence.
