I asked for more information and resources before making a decision. Agent Orion nodded, and a data packet was transmitted to my ship's computer.
The packet contained classified information about the ancient civilization, known as the "Architects." They were a highly advanced race that had mastered the art of manipulating space-time. But their civilization was thought to have been destroyed in a catastrophic event billions of years ago.
I studied the data, and a strange energy signature caught my eye. It was similar to the signature of the rift, but it was older, more complex.
Suddenly, my ship's computer alerted me to an incoming transmission from an unknown source. It was a mysterious message, encoded in an ancient language.
I alerted Agent Orion and the Cosmic Vigilance Council about the message. They quickly traced the source of the transmission to an ancient ruins planet on the edge of the galaxy.
