Human Time Line 1 million AD

Fourth Age

 

Epilogue

 



 
 

A white mist appears to be floating over an extremely advanced computer in a control room. Suddenly it begins to condense into a corporeal figure. As it finally forms, we see a human male walk over to a holo-phone. Without speaking, the holo-phone springs to life. We wait a few moments before there is an answer.

"Ms President", the human figure states, "we have just identified the location of the last Essence fleet. They are ready to jump at any moment."
"Yes Admiral Jones. We have just been discussing the matter. What have your people determined?"
"Analysis strongly suggests that they will hit Earth: date approximately 3150AD. Furthermore, this attack will succeed & Mother will be destroyed. Needless to say, her population of 7 billion will die. Damage to the time continuum will be catastrophic." The UDF Chief of Staff was notably concerned.
"I see Admiral. And I gather your recommendation is to intervene?"
"Yes Ms President, without hesitation. It’s time we put a stop to them or we will no longer exist."
"For once Admiral, Congress & I agree with you. See to it."
"Gladly Ma'am". With that the holo-phone shut down.

In various parts of the UDF Control Centre, numerous white mists can be seen condensing into corporeal forms. They represented several races including Humans, Vargary, Zargah, Lyonies, Nazzernich, Terran & so on. Beside Admiral Jones, a female Unis formed.

"So Jack", she said to Admiral Jones, "we finally do it."
"Yes we do Clare". Then, after a reflective moment, Jones replied to his deputy, General Macbeth;  "Make it so."

Turning to another holo-phone, Macbeth gave the order. "The Gallant 2nd is to engage. I repeat, the Gallant 2nd is to engage. Engage at once, I repeat, engage at once. 11th Guard is to hold until support is required."

The final Essence Ancients fleet never knew what hit them. It was all over in minutes. The Gallant 2nd Fleet suffered no casualties.

Peace finally settled over the Galaxy… for now…

 

And God was witness to all that He had created, and behold He was very pleased. (Gen 1. v31)
