A blurry figure stands in the void of space starring out at all the stars and colours in the cosmos. the galaxy moves around the figure; sometimes still sometimes dancing. In the distance stars are born and collapse as black holes consume space.
Unknown: "Nothing makes sense."
Suddenly laughter rings out and the universe itself seems to shake, vibrate and sing.
Unknown: "Nothing... If I had listened to the first maybe things would be different."
The blurry figure looks down at its hands seemingly lost in thought but then the figure became unstable, sometimes see through and sometimes distorted. It seemed like space and time were being broken down by something . Finally the figure looked back up and an ancient voice was heard, if anyone was there to hear it they would be shocked to discover that the voice seemed to come from their own minds.
Unknown: "It seems that even I cannot escape order. If there is nothing, anything you create will be perfect but empty... If you create another then there must be good and evil; because now it matters."

He picks up the phone and switches off the alarm, just as his clearing up and making breakfeast he suddenly remembers to do something very important.

Berlin:"Yes sir, I understand do you mind answering a few questions for me sir?"
