The Deadliest Alien Artifacts (Story Collection) (20 page)

A technician entered, nervously listening to
everything, and began handing the documents to the scientists at
the doorway, and they queued up to the back of the laboratory.

While Dexter stood waiting for them to
finish, he sensed something peculiar, but he kept his sight on the
queue, where the scientists were having captivating
discussions.

As he listened more, a gentle draught
appeared, and he discontentedly tried to detect where it was coming
from.

But it increased, and he realized that
it was not a draught
–
the air was being sucked away. And he
glimpsed a hideous black shadow over the floor, with a horrific
shape emerging.

He then stood frigid, watching the
black hole crawl through the laboratory
’s
protective screen
material.

In an instant it vanished and reappeared
across his path. And he could not escape: the strength of its pull
was far too great.

The whole laboratory erupted into a
frenzy of activity, and he plunged into it
–
hurtling into
blackness
–
with existence rapidly vanishing.

III

The Fringes of
Eternity

In a blur, he was floating over all the
stars of the universe, and tumbling through the depths of
eternity
–
far from the nearest stars
–
out beyond reality.

Obscure illuminations endlessly shifted, as
he wildly spun around, with no real awareness of anything.

A tranquil abyss flowed surreally against
him.

A shape gradually emerged, of a stretch of
shininess.

He came to, from his state of disarray,
studying it.

How had he managed to end up in such a
far-out place? Where was he? How could he survive?

He felt as though he had been falling
through something, and he tried to grasp the concept, and where he
had been.

There was no longer any light of the outer
universe!

Large stars magically appeared about him,
with incredible dimensions, and shone with blinding rays.

Howling air suddenly blasted at him, and
around him, and he plunged down, and he saw the night sky, swirling
about him.

He was over water, and falling out of the
sky.

He realized he could survive, and prepared
himself.

A roaring and blinding surge of water hit
him, and he dived through it, swiftly sinking downwards. And he
automatically put out his arms, pushing away water, stroking and
tugging, pulling himself from the endless depths of water.

Chapter 14

From Beyond
Reality

(From the novel
The Alien Artifact 2)

A miniature white hole magically
floated inertly in mid-air in front of the
entity/transcendent
at the
front of its voyager within a field of energy, in its own reality,
while energy beams dragged its radius apart.

It resembled a star in space as it fired
energy discharges at regions of it to spin it wildly about itself,
and it simultaneously increased the light behind it to whiteness.
The speed of its rotation increased and increased and the power of
it could be felt in vibrations and whirling sounds.

With vociferous explosions and gleams
of light exploding out it imploded until it had almost vanished and
turned black, and the
entity/transcendent stretched it apart until it resembled a
miniature black hole
with fuzzy multidimensional forms
rotating around it, clearly from time shifts clustering in
clustered layers.

It formed a black bubble of pure energy,
buzzing wildly and dangerously about ready to discharge.

Sparks of energy rotated it, edging into its
fringes, creating spectacular effects and making it distort in
twisted forms.

T
he
entity/transcendent concentrated its mind and consequently
the object exploded out across its entire area front revealing its
interior of zillions of miniature clouds of gas floating partially
spaced apart, in an energy bubble of blackness,
and it
stopped its progression.

It had clearly invented and created a
miniature universe
–
with a miniature copy of the big bang that
created this universe.

It created a time field around it and
its time rate swiftly accelerated at a rate of millions and then
billions of years per second with its clouds of gases altering
to
zillions of zillions
of lights floating partially spaced apart.
A miniature
universe identical to this one, with the same age and
state.

Its progression was stopped at a
calculated point, and the
entity/transcendent
carried out a series of
basic experiments and it decreased its own size and form into a new
form of entity and partially entered it.

Its reality magically spun around it in
patterns of light.

It floated in the depths of its own
universe, and it continued decreasing its size and entering it!

Space shrank all about it and the stars
appeared from clusters.

Spectacular white beams exploded out
and stars shot about
it
.

In its depths it saw a region situated
within the
center of
space,
and it surrounded it with diagrams and
symbols
and put a line
stretching through the galaxies from it – which reached away out to
the Milky Way – and a
course that the other
first
entity/transcendent
had taken!

It had used telepathic recordings that it
was able recreate.

It studied it and the galaxies
everywhere altered, shrank, and deformed into nothing
–
with the whole
universe being disposed of
–
and
many zillions of galaxies destroyed – a glittering immense
jewel embedded in a black velvet background vanishing into a zero
point.

For weeks afterwards, while it voyaged
to
the Milky Way,
it
planned its encounter with the other
entity/transcendent
.

Infrequently it would react and decelerate
and orbit worlds or come to a standstill in space at unknown
objects.

Its entry of this galaxy was the
second entry of it
–
with
its
unique acceleration letting it swiftly
leap across the immense depths of galactic and intergalactic
space.

Its glowing monster shape would hold out
objects while strange ghostly shapes of life forms from
extraordinary worlds flashed about it.

Its voyager would plunge down through their
atmospheres and its immense dark shape would hover over
mind-bending landscapes, with such phenomena as swirling currents
of unidentified living clouds of gas engulfing it.

On many desolate worlds, with silence and
motionlessness, it would lunge over extraordinary entities and life
forms and collect them, and hurtle upwards towards the stars.

With its mind-boggling technology and powers
and an accuracy and capacity inconceivable it explored this galaxy,
voyaging across star quadrants exploring vast billions of
unexplored stars throughout its expanse of space.

Then while leaving the galaxy it
avoided colliding with a star exactly as the other
entity/transcendent
had done, and it also crashed into the surface of the Earth,
leaving
it buried away
for millions of years.

II

Voyage into Space and
Time

After debating what to do, they decided
that only one person
–
Davidson, who had a greater knowledge on
telepathy, should contact it, and give them its replies.

Worthington got advice from above on what to
do.

The speed that it occurred in surprised
them, and they realized that it had been listening to them.

Davidson at first never knew what he was
dealing with, but as he communicated telepathically, as they stood
staring at the empty front region, in front of the screen, and he
grew more and more confident.

“
Why did this voyager end up
here?
”
Davidson asked it, while telephonically communicating with
it, and they watched as the front region across their front started
to show results.

“
I believe it is now going show
us!
”
he
announced.

Parker jumped, as his entire sight
vanished, and he saw nothing but deep space, and he saw a sphere of
light floating through the darkness, and he realized it was
telepathically transmitting it
–
covering his entire sight with vivid
visions.

There was no sign of the others, or even his
own body, but he heard a silent roar, and a blur of light swirled
in the blackness.

The strange sounds and lights sent
sensations through his body.

From somewhere he started picking up
knowledge of what was occurring, but he was unable realize some
things
–
it, the voyager, had voyaged into
the Milky Way
, and he watched
infinitely streaking stars, of solar systems, flickering
by.

What he saw vanished, and he saw it orbit a
world, and come to a standstill in space.

It plunged down through its atmosphere, and
its immense dark shape went over a mind-bending landscape, and he
realized it was on another habitable world, and he watched swirling
currents of an unidentified living gas cloud engulfing it, and
realized that it was studying it.

It lunged over the extraordinary life form
and collected it, and hurtled upwards towards the stars.

He watched it, with its mind-boggling
technology and powers, and an accuracy and capacity inconceivable,
explore this galaxy
–
while voyaging across all the different star
quadrants, and through the central stars
–
exploring vast billions of
unexplored stars throughout its expanse of space.

Then,
even with its abilities, while it was
exiting the galaxy, a black sphere appeared in front of it, and he
realized it was called a black force, and was unknown in space and
time, and was only able to exist there due to being so powerful,
which allowed it not to fall out of space and time, and was the
only thing capable of destroying the voyager, but it only severely
damaged it, but after almost colliding with a star, it crashed into
the Earth
.

When the surroundings of the voyager
emerged, Parker stood gazed, and looking at the startled faces of
Brydon, and he heard Worthington excitedly describing it on his
phone to the others above.

“
This thing replying is more like a
computer?
”
Worthington asked Davidson.
“
I mean it basically responds to you.
Correct?
”

“
Correct!
”
Davidson answered.
“
But do not
underestimate it
–
it has artificial intelligence, and can
reply and figure out solutions, and we know so little about it
...
”

Worthington continued his report, and
thanked him.

“
Do you think this is a probe
–
collecting
specimens and exploring space and time?
”

“
I do not know! I will have to
question it further. But if it is not, it must be
similar.
”

“
Question it
further!
”

“
Why did this voyager end up
here?
”
he
asked, while telephonically communicating it.

“
Here we go
…
!
”

Parker jumped again, even though he had got
used to it the last time, and he saw nothing but a vision of
blackness.

It
then
hurtled through the outer limits of space and
time
–
racing
into this
universe, and Parker watched, staggered, realizing that it had come
from beyond the universe!

He saw the voyager
forming itself, into a voyager, from
energy.

The dim
voyager
interior appeared about him,
but far stranger, and unlike anything he had seen before, and he
watched a dark blue light dully shining, and dark and dim radiances
from energy surges intermittently illuminating and playing with a
hideous slithering blood red devilish shape.

As it
progressed, he examined it wondering if it was it, in an earlier
form, when it had emerged from beyond reality – with blood
red devil features, and a
giant demon shape, glowing, altering, whirling, within
hideous energy surges – while it consistently stopped itself
vanishing – out of space and time – and back into its original
energy states.
