Jawara lands in New Jersey, the world is terrified, there is no trace of other natural disasters. But the doubts began to dissipate: A huge hole was made where New Jersey was, all of New Jersey disappeared, there were no survivors, except for all those who boarded the space plane. Jawara feels a lot of pain, he feels guilty for not having taken more people. They arrive on Earth, get off the Airspace-wanderer and approach the huge hole.
_Look at all that, -says Jawara- New Jersey no longer exists! The place where I was born no longer exists- Jawara feels very nostalgic and in pain, he could not hold back his tears, many tears run down his cheeks
8.7 billion people died. The whole world is in mourning. Many people exclaim pain at such a loss. Millions of people died because of the huge hole that was formed, but many others died from the extraction caused by the mysterious black hole. The loss of gravity, such a catastrophic event, something that had never been seen before, it had only been completely lost in New Jersey, but the extraction into outer space as a result of the black hole, was imminent, shocking, without time to think. Many friends died, loved ones, childhood friends, university classmates. The world is in agony of pain, every corner of the planet is terrified by what happened, in all the news they comment on this earthquake that occurred, they say it was a 17.0 earthquake, curiously it was not felt in other parts of the United States, only New Jersey felt it, which is no longer there. Not even neighboring states felt the earthquake, only the inhabitants of New Jersey experienced it. People around the world immediately began to build monuments, almost the entire population went to their churches to pray for their lives. Protests and demonstrations are seen in many parts of the world, people are scared, even though the details of the earthquake are gradually becoming known, people need all the questions they have to be answered at that moment. You can see Jawara approaching the giant hole. What he found was even more surprising. You could see that there were many colors down below, but the colors were similar to those we see in space. It even seemed like there were fallen stars, bright phosphorescent lights, meteorites, but you could also see that shooting stars had fallen there. As if many celestial bodies never seen before had piled up in that hole. But you could also see something else: a silhouette, a silhouette of an alien, but in human form. That silhouette emitted strange sounds, screams were heard, but those screams were not from humans, they were heard as sounds from outer space. Those screams shook humanity. That silhouette was the silhouette of Fiorella, Armin Blake's wife, but part of those sounds were the moans and screams recorded by Fiorella and her daughter, before Fiorella died, the other sounds were very very strange to humanity, not even scientists, nor astronomers, no one specialized in the subject could explain the nature of all that, it was like being in diapers before such a situation.
_ What is that? -Sharon asks scared- You hear screams, but those screams are not from people. A person does not scream like that!
Those screams were heartbreaking, like defeat, anger, arduous desires for revenge, but they were also heard as if they were agonizing screams, asking for help, part of them, generated by the alien AI that Fiorella and Kesil had. Every so often those sounds were heard, and when that happened, the lights shone brighter. The silhouette of a spaceship could also be seen, like that of an alien ship. But it looked like it had been destroyed. At one point, more screams were heard, and when the screams were heard, the spaceship was glowing. But these screams were for help. Many people came closer, desperate, they organized to help, since they believed that they were survivors. But Jawara intervened
_Wait! Do not come closer, these screams we hear are not from human beings. Listen! Listen carefully. They are not human screams!
_Jawara, I must tell you something-says Yadir- when the earthquake was hitting New Jersey, I saw a spaceship fall into the hole, and I saw many lights with that ship
_What do you mean?
_That I have doubts and uncertainty that this is something more than the end of the world-Yadir shows concern, he has doubts about that ship, since it did not seem like an ordinary spaceship, even Yadir managed to see that it was a ship of very advanced technology. He was so amazed and shocked that it was difficult for him to accurately describe what he saw.
"We have to see what it is," Jawara said with determination. "We can't say anything if we don't have a basis for it."
People paid no attention to what Jawara said.
So they organized to go down, but in a big oversight, 20 people slipped and fell into the hole, but they didn't fall down, when they fell, they disappeared. Seeing this event, many people got scared and gave up on continuing. Chaos began, but Jawara tried to calm them down again
_ Wait! Don't be alarmed because if not, the same thing will happen to more people
_ Oh my God! Jawara, what is this? -Sharon says very scared- Oh no!
_ Love, listen! - Blossom exclaimed- Not even your sister being an astronomer can explain something like this, nor can my brother Joshua, I think it's a fact: it's the end of the world! The apocalypse has arrived!
_ We cannot sit back and watch more people die! - said Joshua - I have delved deep into the world of meteorology but there is no technicality or theory that explains something like this, even technological and scientific advances become obsolete in the face of all this
_ I do not have your knowledge or wisdom, but I can say one thing - said Yamal - now is the time to unite, because if this is the end of humanity, that end that you have talked so much about, we must act in order to have those passes to the coffers, meanwhile, I must take care of the sick, there are many psychiatric patients today since the COVID-19 pandemic, and something like this can cause more premature deaths, .
The reporters managed to film what happened. A huge crowd was around the hole, but upon seeing them, many retreated. Could there be extraterrestrial life down there? The doubt and uncertainty increased more and more. Wally Smith, a friend of Jawara, reassured the people.
_ Listen! At this point there are many doubts to be resolved. But let me tell you the following
Wally Smith presents an invention
_ Look at this! I call it "the truth walker". It tells us if in certain places there are human beings, or there are aliens, because if aliens exist, they could deceive us into believing that they are humans. That is why the truth walker is in charge of warning us if a human is approaching, or if it is an alien.
Jawara looked indifferently at Wally, who feared that there was going to be an alien invasion soon, he also felt a lot of indifference and rejection towards his loved ones due to his interpretations and the way they react to such situations. Wally is an expert inventor, he loves the idea that there is life in outer space, although there is still no evidence that this is true, he is a persevering, stubborn, committed, visionary, bold and loyal boy, for Wally it will be a dream come true to meet an alien face to face.
Wally used his invention to make sure there were no living souls down there. If the truthwalker made a strong wind sound, it means there are human beings down there. If it makes a space noise, it means it's an alien. When he brought his invention closer, it made a sound. The problem was that people didn't know how to interpret it because Wally didn't tell them anything.
_There's nothing here. In fact, not even the truthwalker can tell if there are people down there. I think it's best if we get away from here.
The press approaches Wally to ask him about his invention and to give details about the information it provided.
_Wait, Mr. Smith. How exactly do you know there's no life down there?
_The truthwalker makes different sounds to indicate whether there is human life or not, but since we've never found evidence of extraterrestrial life, the sound that marks it hasn't been activated. My theory is that this sound is because the aliens down there are already dead or there may even have been survivors. I think it's best that we stay neutral on that and now focus on what we're going to do about it now that we've seen natural phenomena never seen before. But more importantly, that more people don't die, so don't go near the hole.
People are very, very scared. There is a deep pain for so many lost souls, but there are also many questions to be answered. People are scared, they think it's best to go away and not look for more problems than humanity already has at the moment. Jawara stays looking at the hole for a long time, which they call "the hole of shadows." Far from showing concern, he expresses his pain for what has just happened now, he can't take it anymore, he curls up on his knees and starts crying. He lost a lot, although his dearest friends, his fiancée, his sister, his best friends, his father, lived, he lost many people, good friends and companions that he had throughout his life and career, mentors who helped him in his career as an engineer and unconditional support in his project. Blossom, approaches him to give him comfort. Although she is confused and surprised that Jawara feels that he can do everything and shows a skeptical and incredulous attitude that humanity does not have the ability to do it.
Faced with something like that... Jawara made Blossom promise that she would never question his position, since his position is firm and clear: Although science has its limitations, trust in it and that human beings can have the solution so that all world problems disappear and that each human being has the opportunity to be someone, and that in a not too distant future, humanity will have conquered the universe, and thanks to that, all the doubts that humanity has would be resolved.
Blossom remains by Jawara's side until he calms down. Despite the promise she made him, she decides to ask him why he doesn't take the situation seriously.
_My love, what happened is too painful, it causes a lot of desolation and a lot of fear. But... I think the most sensible thing is that we look beyond what we have trusted... look... beyond our beliefs and convictions. It is time to prepare, we must be ready to survive what is coming, this is not over yet... We have to be ready. Don't you think so?
Jawara looks at her strangely.
_You know Jawara, when that black hole pulled us up, I was scared, I thought we were going to die. I really liked the way we behaved there, we didn't lose our sanity and we were willing to do whatever it took to save all those people and save ourselves, but you know? There was a strong trigger that managed to save us: well in advance, you created "aerospace-wonderful" (the name of your company) and thanks to that you created "airspace-wanderer" (in the name of your space plane). And look at the results! Thanks to that you saved many people, you saved your friends, your sister, your father, you saved me! But what did it take? Preparation, you prepared all this so that humanity would go in a good direction, so that we would all have opportunities and the world's problems could dissipate. But all according to a plan. We didn't know this was going to happen, but this preparation was very useful. Don't you think we should prepare now for what's coming? If we already see strong evidence of events that are worthy of fear, shouldn't we prepare and put aside disbelief? Wouldn't it be wise to admit that we can't handle this and start planning to survive instead of planning to challenge nature, with all the supernatural phenomena that go with it?
Thanks to Blossom's convincing argument, Jawara began to consider the possibility of putting aside his firm stance and seeing as something real that we can't face everything and sometimes we must pay attention to the warnings given to us in order to protect ourselves.
_ You know what's nice? You're right, I'm going to take it into account, - says Jawara accepting Blossom's advice - I'm glad to have someone like you. This is alarming. It's very sad... painful, but it's also alarming. Since the way thousands of lives were claimed is not as we know it. Strong earthquakes take the lives of many human beings, but this way has never been seen before. To be honest, I am very scared, I feel so scared that I can't think clearly right now. I would really appreciate your help and that of others to continue.
_ Of course! We'll see how we can continue.
The evidence was very clear. Strange events occurred, but those events have caused a lot of pain. New Jersey disappeared. Everyone was stunned. In fact, even Jawara who doesn't believe in it is extremely scared and confused. All of humanity is in shock. Chaos in the world was forming. How is it possible that gravity was lost in New York and several buildings and houses went up into outer space? How can it be possible that a mysterious black hole took the houses? It even pulled the airspace-wanderer. Strong riots, strong protests, fear, confusion, building monuments, laments and uncertainty existed worldwide.
The press soon went to interview Jawara. He did not want to talk to anyone about what happened, several reporters chased him and he rejected them flatly.
_I don't want to talk about it, go away!
But finally, he decided to grant the interview, since he knew that the world was afraid, and he wants everyone to be calm in the face of so much uncertainty and fear.
_Hello, how are you? Good afternoon, I'm Mariana Wilson, here we are with the now famous creator of the Airspace-wanderer to learn details of something impressive that we saw and that has now gone viral: a very strong tornado of 15.0 degrees hit the City of New Jersey, but the worst news is that all of New York disappeared, except for the 256 people who were saved thanks to this wonderful innovative plane. Mr. Malenfant, tell me, how did you manage to survive in the Airspace-wanderer?
_The truth is that it was thanks to the extraction of a mysterious black hole, the same black hole that was extracted
Malenfant, I'm surprised you say that it was a black hole that pulled all these poor people into space. I see that it also pulled the Airspace-wanderer into space. Tell me, how did you manage to avoid being swallowed up?
_It was because we maneuvered the Airspace-wanderer well, although there were serious setbacks, we were able to solve them. I worked with my friends to be able to get it through. For example, we were about to reach outer space without oxygen, but in time my best friend Yadir Paterson managed to activate it. In outer space, the space plane was disintegrating, because the plane was not in space mode, but after a hard struggle to activate it, we succeeded and were able to get through.
_Wow! That was a lot of adrenaline. Did you see the black hole up close?
_Yes, in fact we were 1500 km away from the black hole swallowing us. But at that precise moment, all the setbacks were solved and what I did together with my co-pilot, Yadir Patterson, was that we took the Airspace-wanderer down to avoid the black hole, it was like landing, but a very rough landing, that thing was about to swallow us, but we managed to divert it. We lowered the plane to 18,000 km, we did many somersaults and pirouettes so that the plane would be strong enough to hold on and get us out of there. The passengers lived a great experience at that moment, of course there was a lot of panic, but we managed to calm down. It was very exciting, I think we can handle that, although natural phenomena are increasingly stranger, we can handle them.
_You seem very sure of yourself Mr. Malenfant. Tell me. Why do you think we can handle natural disasters?
_Thanks to technological progress and scientific discoveries, many lives have been saved, our quality of life is getting better. And look what I achieved with the amazing help of many people! Thanks to the Airspace-wanderer, many of us are alive, so I think we can find an effective solution to save more people.
_Yes, yes. The reality is that several people were saved compared to the enormous disaster that happened. What do you think people should do to survive this type of disaster?
At that moment, Yadir Patterson appeared in the interview, Jawara introduced him as the co-pilot who helped him a lot in those moments. But Yadir had a different perspective.
_It's a pleasure that you are with us, Mr. Patterson. Tell me, how do I support Jawara Malenfant when the black hole almost swallowed them?
_The truth is, as Jawara Malenfant already said, it was thanks to a very good organization that we had with our friends and family, but now that I have the opportunity to be here with you, I would like to give you some advice.
_What advice do you want to give the world, Mr. Patterson?
_Be ready! Be prepared, "no one is prepared" for something like this. Human beings have never been prepared so that no human being dies in an earthquake, a tsunami or in any natural disaster... The truth is that... If we have never been fully prepared for a natural disaster, now imagine that we are seeing a natural disaster with phenomena that humanity has never experienced before! Jawara Malenfant said that "life is a journey, but sometimes it is a labyrinth." At this crucial moment, humanity is in a labyrinth, so let's look for solutions and be ready.
_I think it is good advice, Mr. Malenfant. What do you think now of the hole of shadows?
_Come with me, there's something I have to tell you
The reporters accompany Yadir to the hole of shadows, Yadir was determined to reveal what he saw during the earthquake, Jawara goes with them a bit upset
_Very well Mr. Patterson, what do you want to tell us about it?
_As you can see, there is a silhouette of a mysterious spaceship, but there is also a silhouette of something similar to an alien. During the earthquake, I saw a UFO-like spaceship, very technological, fall into the hole of shadows.
Flash Back
_It can't be! I can see asteroids moving from one place to another like in a "black hole" where you can see outer space, but just like planets, planets that left their orbit and now move from one side to another and as if crashing. It's not possible! Wait! What is that? Is it a UFO? No, it looks like it's a ship, but, like a spaceship, like the ones in science fiction movies, but it looks like a warship, it has a lot of weapons! These are things I've never seen in real life.
End of Flashback
_ That's how I saw it
_ And how can you say that?
_ Although it fell at a high speed, it was immediately seen that it was
A modern ship, not even the Airspace-wanderer has all that technology. And those movements in outer space, they were very scary!
_ Do you have photographs of that ship, Mr. Patterson? And photos of what you saw in the sky and the planets?
_ The truth is that no, but I saw all that with my own eyes. You must listen to me!
The reporters were skeptical of Yadir's statement, they were more focused on finding out what is down in the hole of shadows, and finding out what happened to all those people who disappeared when they fell. But an alien invasion, astronomical phenomena, they don't believe it.
_ Maybe I'm hallucinating, Mr. Patterson, -the reporter tells him- I recommend that you rest and concentrate on what we already know is happening, and not on things that are not based on facts.
_ I'm telling you the truth! - Yadir says angrily - Wait! - the reporters leave from there - Wait! I'm not crazy!
Yadir left very upset because they didn't believe him
Upon hearing Yadir's advice, Jawara gets upset because he thinks he is mistrusting his ability to save people from this coming cataclysm. Although, seeing that he was able to save many people, he feels deep down in his heart that pride is growing, he feels capable of surviving and saving many people from the coming catastrophe. He feels that he has the power to achieve it and that he should not worry due to his natural talents, his achievements and his tremendous knowledge of engineering, he feels that there will be nothing to stop him, that even, at the rate that technology and science are going, humanity can handle anything. Is that really possible? The coming catastrophe goes beyond what a human being can imagine.
The shadow hole continued to cause fear in people. No one dared to approach it after the shocking news that several people fell into it and disappeared immediately. The supposed screams stopped being heard after 3 days. What humanity did not know was that there were really survivors asking for help, they did not know more information out of fear. Even reporters did not dare to investigate how the shadow hole was formed for fear that the same thing would happen to them. The shadow hole stopped making noise, it was just there, its diameter was the same size as all of New York, it practically covered the entire size of the disappeared city, its depth was 750 km. It caused a lot of fear. How is it possible that a natural disaster could have caused that?
One morning, Yadir was woken up by a small earthquake, but it was a long earthquake, it lasted about 2 hours, he goes under the table in case it gets bigger, but he also considers going to the arispace-wanderer in case the same natural disaster happens again, but it didn't. Yadir goes outside his house and sees a storm approaching, fortunately, it was just a normal storm. But the long earthquake puts Yadir on alert
_Oh my! I hope we can be ready
