Deep in the Sahara Desert, the first and most intelligent beings (IB) of this universe still thrives.
Birgeo and his sister Triss were lost in a sandstorm.
Discovered the IB.
"You see, the best analogy of this universe is your front yard. During the summer it is the home
to hundreds of crickets. The crickets, most of them, live in the grass of your front yard all their
lives. In their opinion, the universe is just grass and dirt with sunshine, water, and darkness. But
a few crickets get chased to the pavement of the road. So they know that outside the grass is
only pavement. You, being a human, on the other hand, know that the world is not just grass,
dirt, and pavement. You know about deserts and forests, rivers and oceans, even the moon and
the stars beyond the solar system and galaxies beyond the Milky Way. But, in a sense, you are
still like the cricket in your front yard. What do you know beyond the "Ultra Deep Fields" of the
Hubble Telescope picture/ beyond the outer edge of the remnants of the beginnings of the
universe / "Big Bang"? What if I tell you that the entire known universe is just like an atom of a
bigger picture?
Out of the billions of stars there are many life. But this planet Earth is a special case. With just
the correct measurements of distance, temperature, angle. Life is able to thrive.
My ancestor was also your ancestor, giving both of us a primate visage. But way before our
ancestors even looked slightly like a primate; the extrauniverse beings (EB) saw a problem with
our planet. They saw the nature of the dinosaurs, cruel, blood thirst, always fighting for food,
running for their lives. So they decided that those creatures were no good and should be
destroyed. An asteroid hit the earth and wiped out all the dinosaurs and pretty much every living
thing. Except one branch of the early primates, my direct ancestor, your cousin ancestors,
migrated to the trenches below the Sahara and survived by other means.
…
Now the EB are staring at this planet seeing something even worse. They're not going to destroy
it again because afterwards the situation will probably aggravate like it did. So they are going to
melt down this whole box of universe. Melt down so every atom and electron dissolves. Every
quark and bits of energy break down.
So it is your job, and mine, to help to change this fate.
"But why us?"
"Because you are no entirely evil yet."
"Entropy!" the pale man-monster said. "This universe was designed for entropy, so the Beings
are very frustrated because they see orderly intelligent creatures springing forth from this mess.
They don't understand and they don’t want it to continue."
So they programmed people for self-destruction.
