1 Prologue.

Year 2078 _ Month: 11 _ Day: 13.

"Today is the day of the final test of the Destiny Project"

"Today marks a new era for humanity where we will have unlimited renewable energy!"

"This is the day when humanity will take a new step towards the new future!"

These thousands of news toured the entire world!

All the media in all countries spoke about the Destiny Project that was about to take place and that promised to change the future of humanity.

The internet was exploding with news of it!

Thousands and thousands of users were talking about this, and they were looking forward to the news that the project was a success.

But not only people followed this news, many world leaders were attentive to this news, even the presidents of the super powers had come to give a conference about this project wishing it to be a success.

But the Earth was not the only one that was waiting for the project to be a success.

On the Moon, there were several colonial human camps.

Already in the year 2078 hundreds of colonial camps had been created on the Moon with support for the Humans. It could be said that Humanity had already colonized the Moon completely, and all the people who lived there were also attentive to the news of the project Destiny, hoping it was a success and that it will help humanity to take another step forward to the future.

It could be said that November 13, 2078 was a historic day for Humanity!

A day that could never be forgotten!

...

In the middle of empty and starry outer space.

A gigantic hexagonal spacecraft with multiple platforms that jutted out from it, and inside it was a large rotating dome, where they were painted multiple flags of different nations.

This was the third International Spacecraft called Destiny.

The Destiny International Spaceship, which was making the final tests for the Destiny Project at 560,000,000 kilometers from Earth, near Jupiter.

Outside the ship. Floating in space were two engineers dressed in the latest generation of space suits, working on large solar panels.

"Eric, how do you think they are on earth now?"

"I have no idea, I estimate that everyone should be paying attention to the completion of the project"

"Hahaha is true, they have already tried it 17 times, but they failed every time, and this time they have to succeed, if they do not succeed, I heard that they would cancel the project"

"Will they cancel it? That's crazy!"

"Haha true, cancel it after reaching so far is a real stupidity"

"Then why?"

"Is simple, Eric, is the fault of the bosses, have been anxious since they invested in the realization of this project, but we have been here for 6 years, and we have had 17 failures and no success. It is normal that these idiots, begin to doubt the reliability of the project"

"I get it"

Eric Grannel nodded in understanding. He had already been 6 years since he left the earth, and had been working on this Destiny International Spacecraft ever since.

He was only 23 years old when he was recruited for this project as one of the engineers. While it seemed to be a very young age, his reputation stood out as Eric Grannel was known as one of the most talented and outstanding engineers on Earth.

Recognized for being able to create his first space propellant at the age of 14 years, since then, Eric had become more known thanks to his various creations, until he was hired for 10 years to assist as an engineer in this Destiny Project that promised to open the future to humanity.

Eric continued to work on one of the panels, while his fellow engineer named Andres went to another panel and started working on it.

He had become friends with Andres since he arrived on the first day. According to him he knew, Andrés this year would probably be 37 years old, and he was hired thanks to the recommendation of the company Spacex, one of the companies that was quite involved in the project.

Eric continued with his work quietly, while screwing some screws on the panels.

If you were to ask Eric, what do you like about working in space?

Then without a doubt he would answer that it was the silence ...

Eric loved seeing the dark sky full of stars, feeling the silence and his mind without the worldly preoccupations that he had before.

Sometimes he would take out his telescope, and spend hours looking through the telescope at the starry, dark sky. He did not know because from the moment he arrived in space he felt so comfortable, he could even say that he felt more comfortable and relaxed than when he was on Earth.

*escape*

"Shit!"

"What's wrong, Eric?"

"A screw escaped me"

When Eric was screwing, a screw had escaped from his hand and, without gravity, it keeps floating and moving away.

Eric tried to stretch his hand to reach him, but did not catch him.

"Eric leave it, it's just a screw, let's continue so we can finish this once and for all"

"Good…"

Forgetting the screw, Eric continued to screw new screws into the solar panel, making sure all the screws were secure.

...

Within the Destiny International Spacecraft, in the central area several scientists were observing the data that was shown on a large front screen.

"Commander, everything is ready to begin" report someone.

"No anomalies?"

"No sir"

"Well then we can-"

"Sir! We just got word that there are still 13 engineers working on the panels outside! "

"Engineers? What are the engineers doing outside now when we are about to start?"

"Sir, the engineers were sent to repair 5 solar panels that has stopped working. You gave approval "

"Hmm Oh ... I remember" The commander remembered, and then he kept in consideration for a few seconds before continuing. "It does not matter, I need those panels fixed for tomorrow, and apart they are arranging the panels in the southern area of ​​Destiny far from where the Project is carried, they will not disturb. Let's move on! "

"Yes sir!"

They confirmed the order, while the scientists positioned in their positions began to type the keyboards.

An image of loading appeared on the screen, with multiple data reported on the smaller screens.

"I hope we achieve it this time ..." the Commander muttered.

The Destiny Project had begun.

...

"Hey Eric, look at that"

"Hmm, what?"

Eric followed the view, where Andres pointed, and saw that, far from where they were, a brightness began to grow.

That brightness was the signal of the beginning of the project.

"Have you started, with us still working outside?" Eric asked with a frown, annoyed.

"Come on, do not worry, we're quite far away, nothing will happen"

Eric and Andres continued to work on the panels, but the light eventually grew bigger and bigger, holding as bright as a sun.

"What the fuck is going on?"

Eric asked with some concern.

"I do not know, this did not happen during the previous attempts" Andres answered with a slight trace of concern.

...

Inside the dome ... (Inside the Destiny):

"What's going on!?"

"This did not happen last time! Do we fail again?! "

"Commander, do we stop the project ?!" asked hastily a scientist who was in front of a monitor.

"Do not! Do not stop it! "

"But Commander, we do not know what is happening-"

"I said do not stop it! This time we can not fail, this time we must succeed! There is no more opportunity after today if we fail again! "

They all stood for a moment in silence, but then nodded and went on with the experiment.

The luminous light continued to grow and grow, almost mowing down the people who looked at it.

"Commander this-"

"..." The Commandant remained silent, then clenched his teeth hard due to frustration and fury. "Stop it ..." I order.

"What?"

"I said stop the project!"

"Yes sir!"

The scientists began to work hastily, while they stopped the project.

The commander looked at the light bright as the sun, with traces of cold sweat running down his forehead and frustration written on his eyes.

The Light little by little began to disappear.

Until it disappear completely and everything went back to normal ... or so they thought.

"Sir! Sir! I detect a gravity anomaly!"

"What?!"

"The anomaly is getting stronger!"

Everyone was alarmed!

The Commander hurried to one of the panels, and began typing hastily to switch to the cameras facing the projected area.

And so…

There it appeared!

On the screen you could see the image of the outer space where the project had been carried out previously, it is assumed that there should be nothing there. But now, you could see a small black distortion that was growing and seemed to start swallowing the light slowly.

It was a black hole!

They had created a black hole!

"Holy God…"

All were left without a word because of what they saw ...

"C-Check the gravity and the force of attraction"

The scientist with somewhat trembling hands began typing the keyboard quickly.

"Sir, it's certainly a black hole, but luckily its attractive force is quite weak at the moment"

*Sigh*

Everyone sighed in relief, what they feared most was that their ship was trapped by the force of attraction and swallowed inside.

"* Sighed * Well ... first we get away from that thing, order the engineers to enter now!"

...

Eric was baffled.

The light that appeared had been so strong that he had to cover his eyes in order not to remain blind.

What the hell was that? Did the project succeed?

Then Andres approached him.

"Eric, let's go, they order us to come back!"

"Eh? But we are not finished- "

"It does not matter anymore! Something weird happened, let's go back quickly! "

Eric nodded, and followed Andres toward the entry pod that was a bit away from where they were.

...

In the middle of the empty outer space ...

Floating near the Destiny International Spacecraft.

There was a small screw.

It was the screw that had escaped of Eric!

The screw slowly moved away from Destiny Ship, being attracted ...

I was being drawn weakly, by the little black hole just created!

Until ... it was sucked!

...

Eric and Andres hurried back, but just as he was about to arrive at the entry pod, they suddenly felt like his body was struggling to move forward.

"What the fuck ?!"

"This is-", Eric immediately turned around, and looked away, where the previous light had been.

Eric knew it was this feeling ...

"Andrés. hold on to anything and stand on the opposite side of where the light came from!"

"What!? And that stops- "

"Just do it!" Eric hurriedly ordered with some panic in his voice.

Eric moved with all the strength and speed he had to put himself in a safe position that he could fight against the attraction.

This was gravitational pull!

Something was attracting him to where the previous light has been seen!

...

"Commander, something is happening!"

"Sir, the gravitational attraction is increasing rapidly!"

"What?!"

"Keep increasing sir!"

"Shit!"

The alarms started ringing inside the Destiny!

...

Eric and Andres began to feel like their body was heavier, that seemed to be crushing them. The attraction to the place where the light was seen was increasing.

"Fuck, what's up?! "

"And I, as I will know!"

Eric was clenching his teeth hard to resist the weight he felt, he did not know what had happened, or what was causing this gravitational force and attracted them to it, but whatever it was, Eric knew one thing.

That it was not good to go towards whatever it was that was generating this force of attraction!

"Haaaahg!!!"

A scream was heard over the intercom, when a body dressed in special astronaut suits flew by, and hit several parts of the spaceship, without stopping, it was drawn into the distance, disappearing

He was a fellow engineer who had gone out to join them!

"Shit!" Eric and Andres cursed at the same time, while their faces turned pale with fear.

"Andres, we must hold on to the strongest spaceship!" Eric yelled hastily.

Then Eric with his safety ropes that hooked him to the spaceship. tied him twice and adjusted him as hard as he could to the ship as if this depended on his life. Andrés followed the same action and firmly adjusted his ropes to the spaceship.

Suddenly!

The Spaceship trembled, as the thrusters began to ignite!

Eric seeing this, knew that the spaceship wanted to escape the force of attraction.

But they were still out there!

He paled at the thought of whether his special suits could withstand such pressure, although the special suits were fully reinforced with the latest technology on earth, but could he withstand the pressure of being tied to a spaceship when it starts?!

Eric could only close his eyes and wish they could survive ...

But then.

"Eh?"

Eric looked back watching the thrusters were at full power, but the Spaceship did not seem to move.

What happens?!

Then he realized.

While the pressure that Eric and Andres were feeling caused him to grit his teeth in pain, even so most of the resistance was done by the space suit. But, what about the spaceship?

The Spaceship measures hundreds and hundreds of meters compared to them two. And if the two that are about the size of an ant compared to the spaceship already felt so much gravitational force, then how much must the spaceship feel that was thousands of times bigger than them?!

The attraction that the spaceship must feel must be thousands of times stronger than what they feel!

"As it can be ... we will die here" Then when he realized this, he gave up, if the thing that caused this gravitational attraction did not stop, the ship would be carried in followed by all of them ...

Little by little, the spaceship began to move, but not forwards, but backwards!

It was being drawn into the black hole!

Everyone inside the Destiny International Spaceship was in a panic, but all they could do was watch as they were slowly drawn into the black hole.

"Quick, send more power! More power!"

"Sir, we are already at our best!"

"I do not care! Send him more power! More power!"

Scientists could only seem powerless before the totally disheveled Commander who was in charge of the Destiny spacecraft, this recognized and experienced Commander seemed to have gone totally crazy about the idea of ​​dying.

So with the increasing force of attraction of the black hole, the Destiny spaceship came closer and closer until ...

It was sucked by the black hole!

...

And on Earth ... While everyone is looking forward to the success of the Destiny Project that would mark a new future for humanity.

But suddenly…

All the news about the Destiny Interstellar Spaceship was sealed, and it was announced to the people that the project was canceled!

People did not know what had happened, why was the project canceled? Was not it already in the final phase?

Then another explosion came when the UN held an emergency meeting for all the leaders of the world!

People by this time already began to realize that something terrible had probably happened.

And little by little the tumult and chaos began to grow, with people demanding the revelation of what happened with the Destiny Project that everyone expected.

The chaos was growing, the political struggle also began to show itself between different countries.

And suddenly!

A laboratory in charge of researching the stars revealed a video recorded by their telescopes on the day of the project.

There it showed how the light shines brightly and then the Destiny Spaceship with hundreds of renowned scientists were swallowed by something similar to a black hole that appeared in the place where the Destiny Project was made.

And it was not only that, but it became known that a black hole had now appeared in his solar system!

Only 560,000,000 kilometers from Earth!
