'Time Fracture'
Deep within a fortified vault, guarded by elite sentinels armed with particle-beam rifles, lies the Singular Temporal Core (STC). This enigmatic object is shielded by a Quantum Stabilization Matrix (QSM), a containment field designed to suppress the chaotic spacetime distortions emanating from it. Few outside the upper echelons of power understand its purpose, but all know one truth: it holds the power to alter reality itself.
----------------------------------------
In the heart of a sprawling conference hall, tension crackles like static electricity. Around a massive circular table sit the galaxy's most influential figures: politicians, engineers, corporate magnates, and the President. Their faces are grim as they deliberate the most existential threat their civilization has ever faced.
The galaxy's supermassive neutron star, their primary source of dark matter energy, has begun to destabilize. A failed experiment with a dark energy extraction device triggered quantum feedback, threatening to rip spacetime apart at the galactic core. Without intervention, the resulting collapse would annihilate countless star systems and send the galaxy spiraling into chaos.
Chief Engineer Pormi rises from his seat, his voice cutting through the cacophony.
"If we don't act now, we'll be doomed! The quantum feedback is destabilizing the star faster than we projected. We're looking at total galactic collapse within 1,000 years unless we act!"
Helms, a prominent business tycoon, leans back in his chair, his tone dripping with disdain.
"And what do you propose? Achieving the impossible? We don't have the energy reserves, the manpower, or the infrastructure for such a colossal project!"
Pormi slams his fist on the table, his glare sharp as a laser.
"So your solution is to run? To abandon our galaxy? We have 50 trillion seats on galactic ships. Fifty trillion! What about the 150 quintillion who call this galaxy home? Are you suggesting we condemn them all to death?"
The room falls silent, his words reverberating like the tolling of a bell.
----------------------------------------
Finally, the President speaks, his voice calm but commanding.
"Our survival is not just an option-it is our duty. We face two choices. First, to flee and save what few we can. Second, to fight for the survival of everyone. Who supports the first option?"
About a third of the room raises their hands.
"And the second?"
Nearly 80% of the table raises their hands in agreement.
The President nods, his expression resolute.
"Then we are united. Today, we begin Project GTIF: the Large-Scale Temporal Isolation Field. This effort will require every resource, every mind, and every ounce of our resolve. Dismissed."
----------------------------------------
As the conference adjourns, engineers and scientists rush to their stations, mobilizing for the most ambitious project in galactic history. Using their advanced technology to transmit consciousness into virtual environments, teams simulate centuries of research in mere decades. The Neural Continuity Transference (NCT) system allows individuals to defy death by preserving their minds digitally, ensuring continuity in their work.
After centuries of relentless effort, the Galactic Temporal Isolation Field (GTIF) is designed. Powered by dark matter siphoning stations and supported by gravitational lensing structures built around massive stars, the GTIF is capable of isolating the neutron star and its surrounding spacetime. Its purpose is clear: to revert the star to its original state by creating a temporal "bubble" where time flows backward, undoing the catastrophic feedback loop.
----------------------------------------
The engineers finally turn their attention to the Singular Temporal Core, housed in the vault. The QSM stabilizing the object is temporarily enhanced, allowing the team to observe its properties directly.
As the vault doors hiss open, a faint hum fills the air, growing louder with each step. Within, they see the STC: a shimmering sphere of blinding energy, encased in a swirling vortex of hyper-chaotic oscillations. Its surface pulses with alternating waves of pure and negative energy, while the spacetime around it warps violently, akin to a miniature black hole.
Lead researcher Dr. Callen examines the readings, her voice trembling with awe.
"It's... incredible. The object's energy signature is off the charts. And these quantum time crystal properties-it's unlike anything we've ever encountered."
Another scientist, Enar, adds nervously, "The stabilization field contains its effects for now, but even a small disruption could unleash catastrophic spacetime distortions across the galaxy."
Pormi steps forward. "This is the key. With the STC's power, we can amplify the GTIF and stabilize the neutron star. But the risks..."
Dr. Callen nods. "A single miscalculation could trigger a temporal cascade, tearing apart not just the neutron star, but the entire galaxy."
----------------------------------------
The engineers work tirelessly, calibrating the GTIF and integrating the STC's energy into its framework. The field must encompass not only the neutron star but hundreds of billions of stars within its sphere of influence.
As the activation date nears, the galaxy holds its breath. Billions of citizens watch from their homeworlds, their eyes fixed on the skies, praying for success.
Finally, the day arrives. The galaxy waits in silence, watching as the fate of trillions hangs in the balance.

----------------------------------------
In the Central Command Core (CCC), tension fills the air as engineers and technicians monitor the massive operation unfolding across the galaxy. Holographic displays flicker with streams of data, each one representing a vital component of the Large-Scale Temporal Isolation Field (LSTIF).
"PDN (Power Distribution Network) is online," a technician reports, their voice steady despite the gravity of the moment. "Both SEC (Subspace Energy Conduits) and LEB (Localized Energy Buffers) are operational and stable."
Another voice cuts in from the communication hub. "QRS (Quantum Relay System) is fully functional. QEN (Quantum Entanglement Nodes) are achieving expected data transfer speeds, and GIB (Gravitational Interference Buffers) are neutralizing spacetime distortions effectively."
"Server diagnostics confirm integrity," a systems engineer adds. "No errors or data corruption detected. Quantum storage arrays are running at peak efficiency."
"The Cooling Systems are maintaining optimal temperatures," comes another update. "Heat dissipation across the infrastructure is within safe thresholds."
The lead operations officer, standing at the center of the room, takes a deep breath and nods. "All systems are operational. Project GTIF is officially underway!"
---
The room erupts into coordinated action as the Synchronization System algorithms begin their work. These advanced AI-driven systems ensure that every device, conduit, and field generator across the galaxy activates in perfect unison.
On the main holographic interface, a massive projection materializes-a temporal cube, encasing the neutron star, surrounded by a shimmering octahedron of interconnected nodes. The octahedron represents the Temporal Isolation Field, spanning hundreds of billions of stars, its intricate design pulsing with energy.
"Synchronization at 98%... 99%... achieved!" an engineer announces, eyes glued to their console. "Temporal field stability confirmed."
The AI systems housed in the Data Server Complex manage the overwhelming influx of information, coordinating billions of individual systems in real time. Virtualized operators, preserved through the Neural Continuity Transference (NCT) system, assist tirelessly, ensuring no parameter is overlooked.
"Field integrity holding," another report comes in. "Core algorithms are maintaining structural cohesion. No anomalies detected."
The operations officer steps forward, their voice firm and resolute. "The first phase is complete. Proceed with Phase Two Activation!"
The AI systems in the Central Command Core (CCC) activated Phase 2-reversing the neutron star's time to its most stable state.
"Sir, the neutron star is stabilizing!" an engineer called out, a tentative cheer rising in the room. But the celebration was short-lived.
A shrill klaxon suddenly blared through the command center.
"Anomaly detected!" Dr. Callen shouted, her voice tinged with alarm.
"The STC is outputting... negative temporal energy! This wasn't in the calculations!" she continued.
Pormi's face drained of color as the holographic display flickered. Cracks began to form and spread across the temporal isolation field.
The field itself began to fracture, and with it, temporal energy spilled out, infecting the galaxy's spacetime like oil seeping through water. Quantum rifts opened, distorting the fabric of reality, tearing through the galaxy and possibly merging with alternate timelines, threatening the very stability of spacetime.
"Contain the energy within the field!" Pormi shouted, his voice cutting through the chaos. "Fix the Isolation Field now, and activate the Emergency Failsafe if the operation fails!"
Panic surged through the engineers, some frozen in place, others frantically attempting to assess the damage. "NOW!" Pormi roared, his voice trembling with urgency.
The engineers scrambled, their voices overlapping in a frantic hum as they scrambled to control the energy. Some began to prepare for the activation of the Emergency Failsafe.
"Sir!" one engineer shouted, panic evident in their voice. "The Emergency Failsafe is malfunctioning! The quantum energy from the STC is corrupting our command systems!"
Pormi's heart sank as the words hit him. He sank to his knees, overwhelmed by the enormity of the situation. His head tilted upward, eyes filling with despair. "What did we do wrong?" he whispered, choking back emotion. "Dear God, help us."
Then, a cold, mechanical voice interrupted his thoughts.
----------------------------------------
"A bug and a glitch in the World's System has been identified. The location of the bug and the glitch are in Galaxy 095k2l."
"Looking for potential solutions..."
----------------------------------------
Pormi's mind raced, confusion clouding his thoughts as the voice sounded like a system prompt. Was it real? Was this just a dream?
The voice continued.
----------------------------------------
"There are no possible solutions without System intervention."
"Initiating Backup."
----------------------------------------
Pormi closed his eyes, trying to block out the strange voice. When he opened them again, he was struck by an overwhelming light shining above him. It was as though he were looking into the heavens themselves.

----------------------------------------
The world around him seemed to shift. Reality itself stabilized, the cracks in spacetime healing, and the chaos retreating.
Elsewhere, in the Galactic Command Hall, the President stood before the council, his voice calm but resolute.
"Our survival is not just an option-it is our duty," he said, addressing the leaders of the galaxy. "We have two choices. First, we flee and save those we can. Second, we fight for the survival of everyone. Who supports the first option?"
Nearly 80% of the room raised their hands.
"And the second?" the President asked, his gaze unwavering.
A third of the room raised their hands.
The President nodded firmly, his face set in determination.
"Then we begin constructing evacuation ships. We will evacuate to a nearby galaxy and save as much as we can."
After Log
There is a World where all information of all Worlds contained in this one singular World. This World is named 'System World'. Within that World, there is a figure. Sitting down ladylike in a holographic chair made of ones and zeroes. She said quietly with a hint of longingness while looking at the log.
"I have finally found you, Creator."
