"Mission status: Beyond." "Coordinates: Undefined." "Oxygen: Irrelevant." Exiting the Oort Cloud. Passing the graves of the satellites. The sun is a pinprick. The dark is a tidal wave. Engines at 110%. Tearing the veil of the vacuum. LEAVE. THE. MAP. LEAVE. THE. MAP. THE GREAT VOID. BEYOND! DEEP SPACE. "NO SIGNAL Found!" Chronos is dead, time is a ghost Sailing away from the Milky Way coast Gravity’s leash snapped at the neck Earth is a speck on a dying deck We’re punching through the event horizon No moon setting, no sun rising Just the roar of the dark and the cold Seeing the secrets that can't be told Beyond the pulsars, beyond the stars Beyond the reach of the gods of Mars! "Space is not the final frontier... it is the exit." BEYOND. THE DEEP. The ship is a coffin, the ship is a womb Navigating through the cosmic room Black holes humming a low-frequency hymn Light is fading, the vision is dim We aren't in the universe, the universe is us Turning the carbon to stardust and rust Beyond the nebula, beyond the light Into the throat of the infinite night No more physics, no more math Only the fire on the silent path! Do you hear it? The silence isn't empty. It’s screaming. The Great Beyond... It’s looking back. IT’S LOOKING BACK. INTO THE BLACK! "Can anyone hear us?" "There’s... nothing... but... everything..."
