Chapter No.46 Unknown

Maybe the theories were right.

Molly and I looked at the main screen and it made our mouths gape.

"What in the hell is that?" Molly said.

"It looks like some sort of storm," I said, pointing. "Look at those flashes. They look like lightening."

Molly sat down at her astronomy station and began running scans.

I sat down at my engineering station and checked out ship's status. I turned to Judy. "I would keep a safe distance from that. Is it moving?"

"No, Jason. It appears to be stationary relative to the galaxy.

"It's not a nebula," Molly announced. "It appears to be more like a void but with lots of energy."

"That doesn't make sense. Why would a void pop up here at the edge of our galaxy?"

After some time, Molly turned to me. "I think this is much more than a simple void. I am getting readings that indicate that there is an almost infinite amount of space inside that . . . whatever it is."

I scratched my head. "What do you mean? Is this another universe?"

"That's what I'm thinking," she said. "There's another universe bumping against ours."

"I hope it doesn't get in," I said.

"I don't think that would be possible. The vacuum energy-state force from both universes would oppose and prevent that."

"I have detected three vessels coming out of warp," Judy said.

"Put us in full cloak, Judy."

"Yes, Jason"

Molly was able to monitor their approach on her screen. "They're Scath ships, and they're headed directly into the parallel universe portal."

I smiled. "Now that is really interesting. It means that the Scath are coming from a parallel universe. If they are related to the reptilians, then it would indicate that our doubles could be there too."

"I don't think it would be wise to go in there," Molly said.

"I totally agree," I replied.

After several minutes of observing the portal, Molly sat up straight in her chair. "That's interesting!"

"What?"

"The portal is shrinking,"

I looked at the main screen. "Yes, it certainly is. I wonder if the Scath are able to open and close portals into that universe?"

"I doubt that. It would require a humongous amount of negative energy to do that," Molly said.

"They must have known that it was open," I said. "The question is; when does the portal open and close?"

"Good question," Molly said. "I suppose one could scan for the energy profile."

I turned to Judy. "Launch a Stationary probe and program it to remain at this location. Oh, and connect it to this vessel with entanglement communication."

"Yes, Jason."

"We'll remain here for a day or so and then go back to Earth."

Molly nodded her agreement.

The portal didn't open again, so we returned to Earth. After we settled into a geosynchronous orbit over Hawaii, Molly ran some scans.

"Both colonies are intact," she reported. "It appears that the women that had the embryos implanted have all given birth."
