Human Time Line The Cathartic Age Epilogue
Michael’s theories had proven to be correct. Spiritous Sanctus Sapien (SSS) could cross the Vale & into the space-time continuum. There was, however, one restriction. Our existence in the realm of real time & space would be extinguished if any individual attempted to arrive after the Homo sapien date of 1945. Before 1945, though, travel was unlimited. It appeared that 1945 was the key date to the Human race. The First Age was unaffected by NGW’s catastrophic Vale Gateway experiment. In fact, considering what Humans went on to achieve, 1945 was the key date for the universe. Alas only the SSS (& the other Vale civilisations) knew of what they had achieved. In fact we would not now exist if it was not for our ancestors the Humans. The Assembly immediately went into debate over the confirmation of Michael’s success. Naturally, this discovery would mean that SSS could go back & monitor, if not influence, Human behaviour prior to 1945. Such interference, however, was always banned in the old days of federations & commonwealths, but now things were different. Gabriel once again raised the issue to another level. Operation Archangel, as outlined by Gabriel, was soon the centre of the debates. It would be, its supporters argued, a never ending mission to oversee the development of, not just mankind, but possibly the existence of the universe itself. Yet Operation Archangel would have its distracters. Leading the
opposition in the Assembly, Lucifer argued that the previous policy of
non-intervention was the correct one. He was against intervention with Homo
neo-luminous & was even more so against it now with Homo sapiens. "Let life take
its course as nature intends. Our meddling may only destroy that which should
survive. Remember, we are not gods, angels or any other mythical being - we are
& always will be Humans!"
