Prologue

Greg Sanderson (Medical Examiner), "Black Box" room, The VoidWalker

There are often accidents associated with ships, as well as buildings. It is as though the very walls of these structures demand a sacrifice to complete their creation. The VoidWalker had claimed her sacrifice a few hours ago.

The man had been found dead in the "Black Box" room, next to the "Slab" that contained the mysterious "Black Box", the first ever-artificial wormhole generator. He had clawed out his own eyes with his bare hands. He had then scrawled a message on the chamber wall in his own blood, with a surprising degree of accuracy for someone that had just blinded themselves. It simply read "God save us all!” The look of sheer madness and terror on the technician's eyeless face had been like an icicle boring into Greg's soul.

Greg had filed a report in his PDA as "Death due to heart failure." He watched as they dragged the technician's body away and frowned. His heart had certainly failed it was true. As to what had triggered the otherwise healthy man's heart to fail, that was another matter entirely.
