Return of the God Ship: Visit by Ha

By Harry N Hambric

Senior battle craft pilot Ha, a blob of intelligent pure energy is tasked to find or create new beings capable of melding with Has species to replace physical bodies taken from them.

Nearly a billion years ago, Ha scattered ancient life-seeds, provided by his Species Council of Elders onto a young planet earth, and created an experiment station. We are its product.

Ha defends the planet from destruction by the Dark Force and the human Apex Beings themselves. The earthlings have evolved to a state of acceptance.

Ha is a magnificent Warrior Pilot, but he is not perfect. He makes mistakes, costing many human lives, manages to vanquish all intruders, and routinely answers to the God Council for his misdeeds.

His ability to communicate with the Apex Beings under his care teaches Ha much about the future of the two species.

The author spent nearly fifty years serving the US Army on active duty and in Department of the Army Civilian Positions. He is internationally known as an expert in the fields of land mine and improvised explosive device detection and has six US patents related to these fields and small military sensors. The scope of this book looks at technologies and concepts that are far beyond today’s . . . and compares them with some that are here now. Return of the God Ship questions many beliefs we hold about the topics of universe age, religion, and science, and while this book is science fiction, it is very difficult to dispute the possibility of alien visitors . . . or their intent. The author is aware of two verified/substantiated UFO incidents occurring near highly classified military facilities circa 1968 and suggests UFO visits are more common than we think.

Return of The God Ship

As young boys growing up in the mountains of Southern West Virginia, we would sometimes lay on the grass after a hard day at play, and look up into the sky…watching the stars. Every once in a while something would flash through the Heavens above us, and our hearts might have skipped a beat or two as we tried to make sense of what we had just witnessed…was it a spaceship, or plain ole Shooting Star. The sight gave us something to think about.

Obviously, if it was a Spaceship, the Pilot didn’t think we were worth the time or effort of stopping and visiting…or attacking. I guess we didn’t even question why it continued on its way; after all, this place is the Earth, and we are the Human Species….and God put us here for a reason…to watch out for this side of the Universe for Him. The time I am speaking of was the mid- to late 1950’s… several years before the first Astronaut was blasted into Space.

What if?…and I use the Term What if…there were other Species and Beings far more advanced than us, living many Thousands of Light Years away. What if one of those Species had, at one point in their existence, reached the ultimate in their evolutionary process, and were able to live without a body to contain their pure energy soul; and by doing so…could live nearly forever?

Perhaps this scenario describes a species of Beings that roamed a Universe in place many Billions of Years before our Universe was created. Maybe those Beings, and their Adversaries still roam the voids of Space seeking something they lost over 20 Billion Years ago, and they intend to locate a way to regain it.

What if A Light Force Senior Battle Craft Pilot by the name of Ha was assigned one such mission by his Species’ Supreme Council of Elders to search one Quadrant Sector of the newly created Universe searching for life. It appears that did happen, and Senior Pilot Ha piloted Vessel, his Craft, throughout his assigned Sector for several Billion years without success.

Not willing to give up on their endeavor to find life suitable to their needs, The Supreme Council directed Pilot Ha to search for a suitable location near a small Sun where a small experiment station might be established and prepared for a very special experiment.

During his search Ha found several locations, but the one possessing the most promising attributes appeared to be a small planet the Council chose to call Earth…the ancient Light Force word for: Home. It was located in the Third Orbit Ring of a small star, and contained a vast array of minerals and various stages of Water.

The rock, soil, liquid and temperature composition of the planet proved to be able to support and nurture the seeds of life that Ha was directed to implant, and after nearly a billion years of growth and evolution Ha was satisfied…This was for sure the place, and it was populated by the Species they would desire.

Three Hundred and Fifty Million Years after making this decision Ha is certain he has made the right choice; and was chosen by The Council of Elders to become the Experiment Station’s Keeper. He was charged to protect and nurture the Experiment Station’s Apex Beings as they continued to evolve.

Protecting the Apex Beings from Ha’s adversaries…as well as from themselves required much of Ha’s time and energy; and frequent visits. He has made a Thousand visits to the Experiment Station during the last One Billion Years, and has watched the Beings grow from one cell seedlings to the Apex Beings inhabiting the Station today.

During their early years Ha taught the earliest civilizations the secrets of surviving during their hard times, and has watched them expand upon what he taught them.

He now realizes the Apex Beings may have much to teach him as the time approaches for Melding the two Species. Now, The Supreme Council had decreed there will be a Species’ Melding between Ha’s and the Apex Beings’ Civilizations as soon as conditions for each are favorable. If all goes as planned, this event will prove to be the best thing that ever happened to both Species; and it is Ha’s responsibility to create the conditions that will allow it to happen.

When it finally occurs Ha will be able to look back at the events he had to contend with as the Apex Beings matured and evolved towards their destiny. They were many: Some Happy, Some Sad, and Some Tragic; and they were all leading to the promised land. The following document is built from excerpts of Events contained from Light Force Species’ Visit Reports submitted to the Council of Elders as described by the Light Force Beings tasked to maintain the Species History.

Chapter 1

Return of The God Ship - Direct Translation of Message From Ha to Apex Beings Populating Experimentation Station Earth

I am Ha, Pilot of the Light Force Species’ MK 111 Battle Craft Vessel…I send my greetings to you Apex Beings on Experiment Station Earth, located in the third orbit ring of the minor star MW-1,473,810,976. You refer to it as your Sun.

One Billion Earth Years ago I was assigned by the Light Force Species’ Council of Elders to be your Creator, Caretaker, and Protector. I have watched your species evolve from the ancient life-seeds I sowed throughout this desolate sphere nearly Seven Hundred Million Years ago; and watched you as you populated, and evolved in this Mineral and liquid Sphere you call Earth. I have known you, and have watched you mature from your beginning to the present time. I have rarely disclosed my presence when I am here among you, but I continue to watch you carefully.

You cannot see me, you cannot hear me, and only when I desire… Can you feel my presence. You have felt it when I was called upon to protect you from our enemies…and sometimes from yourselves. Someday you will understand that all I have done…good and bad was for your Species sake.

While I do not have any real desire to communicate directly with your Species, because it requires far too much of my valuable energy to communicate directly thought-to-thought with so many Apex Beings. I am here to announce that You have progressed according to our wishes, and It is time for you to know of me and my Species. I will take time, and energy on this occasion to address you all through a medium you are familiar with.

Your intelligence has progressed well, but has not yet matured sufficiently to allow me to communicate with so many of you directly through basic Thought-Transfer. Some of the other civilizations in this young Galaxy achieved that capability much earlier than you early during their evolution, but they were unable to match you in other important areas of evolution. You have excelled in many other important evolution categories that have caught the attention of The Council of Elders.

You have instilled hope to our species that through your species evolution we may correct an error that occurred many Billions of years in the past. It is this error that leads me to resort to this mundane and time-consuming means of communication with you. Perhaps if I identify myself and my mission it will make it easier to understand my purpose and expectations.

As for my Species we are what you beings here on your Earth describe as pure intelligent energy. Unlike you beings I do not have the need for verbal communication. My Species lost that ability 350 Million Earth years ago; when the last of my Species’ sound speakers vanished from this Station while on a documentation mission…assessing your progress. Since that time there has been no further collection or use of sound in our Species’ Communication.

Even though I return home frequently to report on your progress; I am never truly away from you. I continue to monitor all that you do through my Evolution recorders…or as they are named: Stay Behind Monitors and Sensors. They are capable of retaining every word, fact and action occurring during my absence as well as when I am here.

I have installed them everywhere in order to obtain all data of events occurring here. I collect that data from them, and transport it to my Home…Haven. All that has happened, and all that has been said or done is recorded…and subject to review by our Supreme Council of Elders.

As far as compatibility between our species, there is none…the only understandable common factor we share with your generation and Species of Beings is that principle, which you refer to as time. While the time you experience as a Species is finite; My Species’ Generation’s life span and existence is infinite, and we use the term Time to only describe distance. We were alive long before the current universe’s creation…in fact all our historical and ancestral records that remain in existence chronicle that we were part of life long before that instant.

There are very few remaining records chronicling our beginning, and the period leading up to the death of the old worlds, and their Universe. All but a few of our Species’ records dating beyond 17 Billion Years in the past were destroyed during the last Great Battle between two of the old universe’s rival civilizations as they sought to consolidate their holdings around the Universe. That battle for supremacy between my Species, the Light Force, and our nemesis, the Dark Force Species brought an end to our previous homes; and the previous universe.

During that unfortunate, but unavoidable great war between the two dominant species…the unfortunate simultaneous detonation of two Type III Ultra Pulse Bombs terminated the previous Universe as we knew it, and all but a few Billion Beings were terminated. What followed soon after were events that allowed for the formation of our present Universe. Since the events which created the new Universe are far beyond your ability to comprehend…it is best explained for the time being to simply say…Yes…the Universe was created by a Big Bang…the one you are familiar with was created nearly Fourteen Billion Years ago…three Billion years after the Old Universe was destroyed.

During my last visit, nearly Two-Thousand years in your past, your Species’ scholars had not yet been able to calculate the age of the Universe your Solar System resides in…They were not ready, nor prepared to receive; or comprehend that knowledge, so I have chosen to not pleasure them with that important information until today….More information will be brought forth to be explained after you have evolved sufficiently to comprehend it.

As for me, my mission began under charter by the Light Force Species’ Supreme Council of Elders. My task is to patrol this sector of the universe; and seek life forms that have evolved from the Seeds of Life we scattered around your Planet and its neighbors nearly a Billion Earth Years ago. I constantly monitor the evolution of all things populating this Experiment Station including You Apex Beings, and the Millions of lower class life forms thriving here. Everything you see has evolved from seeds of life I dispersed.

My charter now tasks me to seek out and monitor all Beings on this Experiment Station that now exist at your level, as well as those that have failed to develop with the same success experienced by your Species. Like your Species we too were encased in a fragile vulnerable shell much like yourselves, but then came the great Experiment 30 Billion years ago…when the entire generation cast off our individual outer physical shells. It was but a few Billion years after that time that we realized our error, and have longed to rekindle the experience and feelings of touch and emotion that are chronicled in ancient documents describing what our ancestors might have experienced.

The earliest memories and legends we retain stored in our memory reservoirs all point back to a period in our development that mirrors what we have observed in your developmental cycle. The decision to evolve to our pure energy form failed to take into account that, by not being able to touch or love or experience emotion we would erase the joy we felt before casting off our Outer Shells..

Realizing our error in this decision nearly Ten Billion years ago the Supreme Council of Elders made the decision confirming that removing our outer shell had been a terrible mistake; and charged the teachers and the scientists to find a way to reverse our termination of the Outer Shell.

As a result I, and other Pilots like me were given the mission to recreate an environment conducive to producing the same fragile enclosure our earliest ancestors inhabited using DNA collected from sacred graves. It has been both trial and error; and guess work to create the seeds we transported here. The seeds I brought appear to be highly successful and conducive to their evolution.

I was among the first of the seed-planters, and I arrived at Experiment Station Earth nearly Six Billion years after its formation. The Experiment Station’s surface at that time was totally bare and unstable, as a result of much of its surface being extremely hot, and covered with a strange combinations’ of minerals. To expedite the cooling process I chose to capture several large comets consisting of frozen solutions of Hydrogen and Oxygen to help cool the surface. Surprisingly the frozen compound making up the Comet converted into a stable liquid. I had never observed such a condition, and chose to disregard the highly toxic gaseous atmosphere, and distribute a large number of my valuable life-seeds onto the surface and onto the liquid compound…My Experiment.

Returning, after giving the life-seeds time to germinate…nearly 200 million years I was highly encouraged to see the beginning of life forms both on the surface, and particularly in the liquid substance. On the land there were the first beginnings of microscopic inanimate life forms that appeared to thrive on the surface’s minerals. In the liquid I was nearly astounded to discover the presence of one-cell life forms as well as the existence of simple plants thriving on the surface. From the that point on Station Earth continues to be extraordinary!

My visit reports to the Council on your progress were received with ovation, and I was directed to devote most of my time and energy observing and protecting this valuable discovery. My charter from the Council of the Elders is: to monitor you, leave you be, and allow you to evolve as you will. I was directed by the Council’s Senior Member to take no steps to guide or deter you unless you progress to the point that your actions might endanger our existence…or your own.

If you continue to develop according to the needs of our compatibility the Melding of our Species will occur at some point in the future…You will be Us, and we will be you forever.

You are evolved from products of the one-cell seeds we designed and harvested in our Life Laboratories, and distributed them from nurseries aboard our transports. Over the Millions of Sun cycles as the Life Seeds matured I watched as even the most immature life forms began to seek out companionship of their own species in the great depths of the liquid medium as well as upon the bare stone and dirt of the Experiment Station’s surface.

We watched as your growth manifested itself into groups that built into groups of groups, and watched as they communicated within and among themselves…striving to evolve into entities of simple cell structures able to adapt to new and changing events and environments.

I watched as simple cells demonstrated their ability to want and need companionship; and their ability to communicate, and absorb each other…and together strengthen their desire to evolve. Your Species’ ability to grow and evolve gave us great hope that you simple Beings might become the future hope for my generation.

Now, my Species has great confidence that you the Apex Species on this third planet will someday have the capability to join with us. We are truly excited about the opportunity to share your form, but we are also placing much emphasis upon the Thinkers to evaluate how our two forms will interact, and how we will learn to become a part of you with the least amount of influence on your solid structure and immature thought mechanism.

We seek to enjoy being a part of you during the time you are a living entity, but must give much investigation to what the consequences to each life form will be because of the extremely short time period your solid form is functional.

We have observed your interactions with others of your own specie, and in some cases lower life forms of species and see the care and devotion you exhibit towards them. We are not sure yet how we will be able to interact with the emotions we see you exhibit. Before we are able to meld our Being with yours we must be sure we are able to join you without danger to our…or your Species.

We estimate we will not have many future visits before the initial meld can occur. We can wait, but as we watch we see great events among you higher life forms…Apex Beings, that give us consternation on your suitability to join with us.

There are factors that must be considered. I will address you again when the time is appropriate…now absorb what I have had to contend with during the past 700 Million Years to bring you to the evolutionary Plato you currently enjoy.

Chapter 2

Preparing to Journey

On Haven Ha is nearly ready to begin another journey to the Experiment station. He has methodically scanned all of the data and protocol entries related to the experiments being conducted at the small planet…the same procedures he has performed a Thousand times before. Experiment Station Earth…as The Council of Elders has named it, is located in a small solar system at the far side outer fringe of his domain, and Ha feels a great satisfaction for the progress He has observed since the first Seeding mission 700 million years ago…when the first Seeds of Life were scattered from the Life Seed Transporter Craft into the vast liquid bodies and bare inhospitable landscape.

As Ha goes through his mission check lists He can feel the surge of Vessel’s energy thruster’s power reservoirs swelling to their maximum capacity; while the Sustainer Crews slowly bring the Craft’s Thrust System reservoirs to their maximum capacity to meet all projected needs of the upcoming voyage. Ha has been given authority to launch as soon as Vessel’s auxiliary processing domains; and Gravity Mass Attractors have finished mapping, and optimizing its course to ensure Vessel is able to make use of every Galaxy’s attraction Boosters encountered along his course..

Unaware that a Being from a Species so advanced it no longer requires a physical body to do its bidding is returning to its Experiment Station to do its standard 1000 year visit to review and maintain the Life Seeds sown nearly a Billion Years ago…The Population of Earth was oblivious to the pending arrival of Ha, and his MK 111 Battle Craft…called Vessel by its Pilot…Ha. The time in Earth Years was 2010 AD…Light Force Years: 14 Billion

This new addition to Vessel’s Propulsion Suite is a major addition to the Reconfigured Battle Craft, and to make use of the gravity attraction Ha will encounter during the trip. The new addition, unimpressive as it appears, increases Vessel’s Gravity Mass Receptor capability to focus on greater than One Hundred Million Galaxies between the Craft and its destination.

Ha will be able to travel at nearly the speed of Thought…very convenient when one is transiting the Universe from one side to the other.

The constant flux and expansion of the Universe creates new challenges to resolve each time Ha travels. Preparation and mapping his return course for the next visit begins with, and takes nearly all his time during the journey back to Haven.

Thrust Energy is finite, and Ha must conserve it whenever possible…or his return trip may be seriously endangered. He will replenish what he can at Station Earth’s under-sea energy repository, because the Council insists It is incumbent upon all travelers to return home with as much energy reserve as possible. For the last 350 Million Years Ha has met those goals and have been rewarded with the highest prestige for that accomplishment..far beyond his peers.

Along with that prestige comes advancement and additional responsibility. At the young age of 22 Billion earth years of age Ha has attained the position of Battle Craft Pilot and Senior Experiment Program Manager for the 4th Quadrant Sector containing no less than 200 Million Galaxies. Within that Quadrant he has initiated nearly two Billion Seeding Experiments. Out of this number not more than 500 Thousand efforts were successful. Experiment Station Earth is among his most successful, and has promise of achieving the Council’s ultimate goal.

Ha is well aware he is one of a race of Beings that has attained all that can be attained. They know all, see all, and can influence all. What they cannot do is feel emotion, express feeling, or touch their companions. The thinkers of the Species has spent several billion earth years attempting to design and develop a class of Beings able to accept and join physically with the Species’ life forms…and return them to that ancient enjoyable existence.

The Station Earth Experiment has demonstrated great promise of attaining this goal and has become a major topic among the Council…Will this be the one?

Since this voyage is merely a domain maturity growth oversight and energy collection mission it will not be necessary for Ha to attempt to travel at a velocity greater than Near-Thought Velocity unless deemed necessary by the Council…or potentially escape an interception by a Dark Force patrol. Approaching velocities faster than Thought-Speed is unpredictable, and is not permitted except in specified Combat Encounter Escape Engagements.

The Council has gone to great lengths to cloak their experiments from any other Species…known or unknown, that favor opportunistic acquisition of Light Force Evolution Centers to hijack and inject their own experiments.

Earth Apex Being Scientists would be astounded to realize that a Vehicle could approach nearly the speed of Thought…much less the Velocity of Light…in the late 1940’s they began to realize that exceeding the speed of sound was in their grasp, and by the early 1960’s had developed manned Craft able to fly well faster than Sound, and shortly thereafter, Rockets able to escape the gravity of Earth…interestingly Ha had never observed these achievements…when he was last visiting the Experiment Station…The Apex Beings had not even conquered the concept of horseless buggies.

Thankfully, no Dark Force Vessels have been detected in Ha’s experiment sector for nearly a Billion years. He is renown among his fellow Battle Craft Pilots for his ability to avoid his enemies…or take decisive actions against the ones he could not avoid. He and his Craft Vessel are equally prepared for either option.

While there is great mistrust and competition between the two major civilizations. there have been no acts of extermination between the two generations for two-million years, and Ha has no desire to be involved in the resumption of hostilities. It was nearly 14.7 Billion years ago since the Light and Dark Forces last clashed, and the termination of action only came about after the Accident.

Both Warring Groups activated Ultimate Energy Pulse Weapons simultaneously, and their combined force generated destructive forces vast magnitudes beyond either side’s expectations. The only survivors throughout the entire Universe were those Beings from each Species in the few scattered patrol colonies and sector security outposts at the far reaches of each Species’ holdings.

Nearly One Trillion Quadrillion Energy Souls were extinguished in less than an Earth Hour. Ha was one of less than One Billion survivors of his Light Force Generation. Dark Force Survivors are estimated to number less than 500 Million.

The plasma created from the by-products of the Ultimate Energy Pulses rapidly began to break down into vastly different gases and solid components than either Species had ever witnessed prior to the explosion. The gases and particles began their own accumulation of mass, by capturing and joining any nearby particles within their attractive range.

Soon after the energy plasma began its decay those that survived the Accident began to witness the growth of huge Spheres of cooling solids throughout the void moving in all directions. As they neared the attraction of gravity forces of the recently formed giant stars, many were captured and quietly moved into permanent orbit around them.

The Universe as we know it now was born as the dormant life energy of the exterminated souls moved through the vast emptiness created by the explosions for nearly five billion years before slowing down enough to be drawn toward another soul’s pure energy. For the next two billion years energy sources throughout the void of the Universe rapidly sought out new sources to bond with.

These Light Energy sources combined to form Visible Light Stars expelling indescribable light and heat as the friction created by the energy of old Comrades as they raced through and collided with one and another’s energy field boundaries searching for friends and relatives.

Dark Force Energy Souls collected simultaneously among the vast void of Space. Their mass and energy have been drawn into huge energy fields called Black Stars. Unseen because of the mass of these energy collections is so tremendous that even the radiant energy they produce is unable to escape their grasp.

Because of the forces created by their mass ultimately the Black Stars are unable to allow movement of energy within their structure, and can only maintain their existence by capturing and consuming unsuspecting White Energy from Light Force Stars wandering too near them. During the early millenniums of the Universe’s formation It was routine to witness the death of a White Energy Star as it passed too near, and was consumed into the core of Dark Stars.

As of this time Ha’s Generation has carefully located and mapped the locations of the Dark Stars, and few of his Generation have been victims since that time…even so, It is always a great concern to those that must travel outside Light Force boundaries. There is only one way outside being engaged by Dark Force Weapon’s that Ha’s Generation’s Energy can be extinguished…and that is to venture too near a Dark Star and become trapped in its Gravity as it consumes their energy.

Ha has completed all his pre-launch activities, and can put any anxiety to rest now. He has communicated completion of his final checks, and pre-launch tasks to the Council; and await acknowledgement and authority to proceed from the Council Chambers.

The Beings on Experimentation Station Earth at this time in their Evolution had never questioned the true age of the Universe. The Scientists and Astronomers had reasoned that the age was nearly Fifteen Billion Years ago based on the knowledge and technologies available for them to do their analysis. Even the Light Force Species was not certain of its age…but they had historical records dating from 30 Billion years…They were well aware that it was little more than Fourteen Billion years ago that the great explosion had occurred, and it had taken nearly 500 Million years for matter to begin creating the stars and planets populating the present universe. Ha was a young Warrior cadet observing from Haven as the present universe was born.

There is immediate clearance to launch from the Port Authority. Ha confirms he has received the acknowledgement, and directs Vessel to activate the gravity locks securing Vessel to the Haven Launch Cylinder Assembly. He monitors the count-down progress, and senses the smooth movement of the Launch Cylinder throwing Vessel rapidly away from Haven Launch Facility. Being a routine mission launch this time Ha did not use the Advanced Rotating Launch Arm, which would have violently pushed his Craft well away from Haven before activating Vessel’s Thrusters. There is no need for that much initial velocity…He is not in a hurry.

Vessel is now tied to Ha’s thoughts and operates autonomously, needing no command or direction from him…they are one now. Increasing speed slightly as they move beyond the confines of the Haven Launch Port Facility, and then the slope of the Giant Solid Mineral Sphere…Haven… they call Home begins to fall away rapidly as they move into free space towards the Black Void of Space.

Ha motions Vessel forward, and await its response. He senses the movement as Vessel’s Guidance System makes small corrections, and then the ever increasing hum as the Energy Thrusters push the craft faster and faster.

Within a few moments Ha is able to see the photons of lights emitted from the Haven Launch Facility struggling to keep up with Vessel’s speed. In milliseconds the area behind the Vessel is black. He smiles as the visible light to his front and sides begin to change colors as the result of the Doppler effect of Vessel’s velocity. It is not long before Ha can only see the Photons emitted from light to his front.

The craft is now flying on its own, and it is continuing to increase speed until it reaches void terminal velocity. Gravity Energy from everyone of the Billions of Bodies to the front of the ship are locked onto Vessel’s Gravity Mass Attractor Suite and are continually pulling it ever faster. Even at the velocity Ha is traveling it will take Vessel one earth year to reach the far outer edge of the Milky Way Galaxy…the home Galaxy of Experiment Station Earth.

The Energy Thrusters in the rear of the Craft are gently beginning to decrease power as Vessel is captured by the gravity of more and more Galaxies to its front. The front and side thrusters are now more active as the Vessel optimizes its course to take advantage of the huge gravitational forces of the galaxies the Craft will pass.. all the while making sure it remains outside the capture range of the many Dark Stars it will pass during the journey. As many times as Ha has made this trip he is always amazed at how rapidly the view transitions from the millions of bright lights in a Galaxy to the craft’s front… to immediate darkness as they pass by it.

There is nothing for Ha to do during the journey. Vessel reads his Thought Processor as easy as Ha reads its components. Settling down for the long journey, Ha will use the travel time to review data from previous visits. He is anxious to see how well the experiment has progressed. It has been over 2000 Earth Years since his last visit to collect data from the Stay-Behind Monitors and Sensors. By the time He arrives on station it will have been nearly 2001 Earth Years, and his excitement is growing to see how the Council’s experiments have evolved.

Now, after several days of flight Ha is traveling nearly as fast as thought, and as he looks out either side of his craft all light is rapidly changing color, and now appears as long streaks as Vessel approaches and passes it. The Universe around the Craft now consists of darkness, except the fast approaching light from Galaxies to the front of Vessel…then in an instant they too have vanished as Vessel flashes by…making room for the next set of lights.

Even the viewer screens in the rear of Ha’s Pilot compartment appear dark. Vessel is moving too fast for the photons from light sources behind him to reach him. Even the bright glow from the compartment’s forward Viewers reflecting from the rear screens is too slow to reach Ha.

If it were not because of the inverse properties of the compartment Ha is sheltered in he would be unable to exist. It took the Council almost 500 Million Years of study to realize that the thousands of Vessels presumed lost to the Dark Force were in all actuality products of the designers own unpreparedness.

Those brave travelers were unable to withstand the effects of traveling near the speed of thought. They lost the ability to retain, capture, and manipulate their own thoughts, and without their thoughts interacting with the Craft’s control system it wasn’t long before the craft became confused and uncontrolled. Light Force Headquarters had no knowledge what the final outcome was for its lost travelers until by chance one of the Vessels reverted back to less than light speed after nearly being consumed by a Dark Star; and its emergency signals received at Haven nearly Four Hundred Million years later brought to light the problem.

The Council’s Thinkers processed the data in the emergency signals for less than ten million years before coming to the conclusion that new Near Thought-Speed Classes of Vessels were required before another observation mission was authorized. The Vessel Redesign was a simple reconfiguration, that was initiated and completed in less than 50 million years.

For obvious reasons Ha cannot provide the details of their research accomplishments for fear of his adversaries acquiring the details

. At this point in time Light Force Developers are unsure if the Dark Force was able to also capture the emergency beacon message sent by the ship; and even if they did…it will take
