The Clap

Before the Clap

If there is somewhere to start it has to be with The Brotherhood of The Unscrupulous. It was born in 1989. World leaders sat at a table, unbeknownst to the world. They didn't want to fight anymore, they didn't want to be held responsible for a world war 3, nobody did. In order to assure this they had to set aside their differences in ideologies and look for progress for all of mankind. This progress was decided to be achieved by unrelenting scientist, and so began T.B.T.U. and its progress. They did many experiments as the years passed, but none as dangerous as Project Rooster. Project Rooster, was the attempt to achieve teleportation.

Project Rooster began in 2020, but before that it was an idea by the famous Dr. Hanson. Dr. Hanson was around the time when T.B.T.U. first started, matter of a fact he was one of the first scientist to be recruited. Hanson had finished a lot of the projects such as project bluesteel, and project feather. He was definitely one of the foundations best, he was too good. Many of his ideas where very helpful and successful but it was getting to the point where the foundation's secrecy rested on Hanson's shoulders. He was the main guy, if he got out and told everyone, they would be through and the foundation would have to shut down. Hanson was unfortunately assassinated and had all of his notes and ideas taken by the foundation in 2004. Every record of his existence was wiped clean and his family where given amnestics that where ironically made by Hanson when Project MKUltra was revived in 1992. Hanson knew his knowledge was a liability and the foundation would later find that out the hard way.

Some of Hanson's more small and less extreme projects where finished and added to government use such as micro drones and laser weapons. Then they discovered one of his most intriguing notes, teleportation. It was all kept in a simple 3 ringed binder, neatly organized. Every single page was filled with notes and sketches except one last odd page. The last page had nothing but the blueprints and concept was so clear, nobody cared.

It took 5 years in total but at last, in march of 2025 the project was ready to be tested for the first time. The following is a recording of the base during the final moments of the test.

People are shown arriving at the base. Some world leaders step out of their cars dressed in fine suits and ties. Scientist are seen doing a final check up before the test. One scientist however, is in the lab looking at Hanson's notes on teleportation. He then flips to the empty page and scratches his head as to how intentional the last page felt. He gets up off the chair and walks over to a desk that is assumingely his and sits down in his chair. The world leaders are now moving into the observation room with their respected translators. The lone scientist is seen, entrances into thought. He rummages through his things and picks up some odd objects that he observed in his hand. He was looking for something as his brow pinched, making folds on his forehead, he was looking for an idea. He then looks at his counter and sees a pocket flashlight with multiple settings, including a black light function. He looks specifically at the black light button on the flashlight and at the blank page on the desk across the room, and then back at the flashlight. He drops the things in his hands onto his desk and picks up the flashlight, speed walking to the page. He twist the knob so the black light would come on. As soon as it came on he looked excited, but it faded just as fast and replaced with horror. It is unclear what he sees on the paper but it might be (due to hindsight) a clarification that the notes weren't actually for teleportation but for something else. The scientist ripped the blank page from the binder, damaging the sides slightly, and ran to the testing chamber. The machine roared to life and beginning a buzzing wurring sound. As soon as the buzzing's pitch turned high, the lone scientist busted in the room but was already too late. A quick flash of light consumed the room and screaming could be heard.

A large ball of light was then seen consuming the planet in the span of 3 seconds. Satellites in the distance where the only ones to be able to see and record this happening but for most people all they saw was a light flash that could be mistaken for a flashlight being shunned at them or simply them blinking.

The ball of light didn't stop at earth though. It continued on consuming neighboring moons, planets, and stars. It expanded about half the speed of light so it can be assumed that this ball of light might not be even composed of light but some unknown format.

This is the end of the period before the clap. It can be presumed that the ball consumed the whole universe along with itself due to information gathered afterwards.
