The scientific community was overjoyed at the creation.

They cheered and they laughed, once again.

Their labours were finally bearing fruit. But the creators were aware that this fruit might as well have been the Forbidden Fruit.

One that mankind was not meant to create, or interact with.

But humanity had lost its patience. The secrets of the universe could now be unravelled. And they wished to wait no longer.

The Time Contraption would be implemented, in conjuction with the infinite energy solution. A team would be sent, consisting of several people including the five creators. The project would be dubbed "The Great Voyage."

And their space ship would be called, The Titanic.

The name was opposed by many, given the history of the original bearer. But Noah was adamant that the name remain unchanged. For unlike the real ship, this one would go forth and not sink.

This one would complete it's voyage.

It would take five years for the Titanic to be built to perfection, and not a soul working on the project made any compromise.

They slaved away, working as relentlessly as the machines. Assiduously integrating every piece into the system. It was a sight to behold! As glorious as the creation of the pyramids themselves. The pinnacle of human innovation, and ingenuity. The ultimate creation made by man. The summation of every scientific research.

The possible solution to the universe itself.

And it was done. Five years had passed. The Titanic was ready. A colossal ship, fifteen storeys high. Shaped like a surfing board. Completely black, like the Time Contraption itself, which lay at the heart of the ship.

The crew of 50 was ready. The goodbyes had been said. Promises of return had been muttered with wavering lips and uncertain eyes.

Noah was ready. The four other creators were ready. The five of them were, perhaps, the only ones among the fifty five that knew for certain that this voyage would be a complete success.

Fifty-five humans would travel beyond the edge of the Universe.

The Titanic would not sink. The Great Voyage would be noted in history books and become the stuff of legend.

The creators had known this ever since the Time Contraption had been created.
