"NASA sent us to a collapsing universe, and its God saw us" Creepypasta

in my tireless pursuit of answers I found fresh questions of Terror Comfort is an alien notion to me I've always been afraid always failing to steal my brains ever wearing cogs but from a young age I aimed to cease my mind's endless worrying I poured every ounce of my energy into becoming an engineer it has always eased my nerves to fix things of course nothing was ever enough I needed absolute certainty and I wasn't going to find that on our little green rock naturally I looked to the stars in the early 2000s shortly after graduating

from Cambridge University I moved to America and secured a job at Nasa I wanted to be part of something bigger than me an organization focused on exploring the deepest crevices of the universe the date was January 2nd 2023 it was a day unlike any other the office was filled with the excitable chatter of my colleagues folk who typically would have their heads silently buried in paperwor the air on this particular day however was filled with a jittery magnetic energy Connor you'll never guess what just leaked Adam eagerly said motioning for me to follow I Shrugged

and followed my friend out to the office what's happening I asked you're going to lose your mind my colleague replied we made our way into one of the compounds main facilities a building which housed NASA's assembly line of rockets I a hunch that Adam's exciting news might be related to dm50 the Dozen minus Rockets after all the bulky vessel was nearing completion no low-level employees have been given any inkling as to what purpose the spacecraft would serve my colleague and I rounded the corner of the vessel and we found Dr Stanley Jacobs talking to a

few physicists he was a graying pale-faced fellow with chap skin the sort of man who had physically aged Beyond his years he could have been 64 or 46 the wary faed man groaned at the sight of Adam but my friend didn't care he was fixated on the screen behind the physicist it depicted various graphs and charts a foreign language to me everybody's been biting Stanley's ear off after being mistaken L forwarded an email to Jenny in accounting last year Jacobs discovered an anomaly at the edge of our galaxy Adam gleefully whispered an unidentified phenomenon that

vaguely resembles a black hole though its physical makeup is unlike anything previously discovered in human history and NASA has been intercepting frequencies from the other side using telescopic data they've created musical tones which sound like well who knows storms on unseen planets forms of alien communication a parallel version of our reality perhaps this sounds like fiction why didn't we hear about it when Jacobs found the anomaly a year ago I asked my colleague Shrugged you know what the media is like this could be huge or it could be nothing but Jacobs is suggesting that it

might be a tear between universes hypothetically I scoffed though secretly my interest was peaked come on Connor you're always talking about the mysteries of the universe well it turns out that there's more than one Universe Adam said and Frank heard that they're planning an expedition with the dm50 I told you something big was happening why else would they have contracted dozen miners it's unofficial highly classified technology my heartbeat started to Quicken as I contemplated what my friend had said parallel universes I thought could these Distant Worlds offer the answer I've always wanted the small group

of physicists eventually dispersed and Adam nodded his head at Stanley talk to him about the Expedition he didn't want anything to do with me this could be your shot to see space my friend whispered before walking away may I help Dr Jacobs asked overhearing us I does the dm50 Expedition have any openings for engineers I asked the man side you shouldn't know about that but you're not the first person to ask this day has been you're going to explore the anomaly aren't you I asked eagerly interrupting the physicist did you hear something wait are you

even an engineer you're not some government servant under a mission to shut down this project are you Dr Jacobs asked lifting an eyebrow no I just need to be on that ship Sir you likely already have plenty of Engineers attached to the project but we do so I wouldn't get your hopes up the man interjected hacking his briefcase I won't pretend to be some indispensable genius I said but this is more than a job to me I don't really care about NASA I just I've always wanted answers to well everything the man carefully examined me

what's your name Dr Jacobs asked pulling a piece of paper out of his coat pocket Connor Bridges I said composing myself the physicist nodded and scrupled my name there aren't any official openings Connor but I know that look in your eyes it's what guided me to this place too it's what prompted me to Chase Harriet's eye Harriet's eye I asked the man solemnly nodded the name of the anomaly my late daughter sorry I quietly replied Jacobs cleared his throat the dm50 could always use an extra engineer my eyes glistened and I immediately accepted the offer

I couldn't quite wrap my brain around the idea of going to space now of course months after my Voyage of Terror I tried to pretend it never happened after 10 months of training launch day arrived Dr Stanley Jacobs and Dr Elizabeth faroh his research partner had been developing the logistics of the mission for the better part of two years as stealth vessel the dm50 would venture to the edge of the Milky Way undetected by the people of Earth and we would send various automated research vessels into Harriet's eye given promising results aand Mission would follow

it was an airtight plan the launch was a surreal experience sitting in a near silent ship equipped with cloaking technology we left Earth behind not a soul on the ground watched it was a weekl long journey using dozen minus technology we achieved The Impossible we not only traveled to the farthest reach of the Milky Way but we did so within an unthinkably fast time frame the reason for Dr Jacob hurry would eventually become horribly clear from within the window of dm50 the crew surveyed Harriet's eye with doy blissfully unaware faces a gaggle of school children

dazzled by the mysteries of space and as we approached the eye Grew From A blackened blemish on the horizon into a ginormous wound that had splintered the very fabric of reality a hauntingly spectacular sight the unman vessels were launched once we reached the suitably near yet safe distance from Harriet's eye we watched as the tiny metallic blobs jettison from dm50 then one by one the three vessels were swallowed by the blacken mouth we found ourselves hovering in space at the edge of Oblivion waiting for the robotic explorers to return the majority of low-level workers had

nothing to do but twiddle thumbs we couldn't proceed until the data from the unmanned vessels had been retrieved and analyzed not quite the adventure you imagine Mr Bridges Stanley Jacobs asked grinning the two lead physicists sat on the opposite end of the canteen table I smiled at the pair of them was horridly finishing my mouthful of food it wasn't often that lowly crew members would have the opportunity to talk to the ever elusive lead physicists actually it's no different from a day in the office sitting around waiting for something to do I said Stanley laughed

well it's just this tedious for Elizabeth and me too right but I enjoy lunch breaks because I get to spend some time with people other than him Dr Elizabeth faroh chirped I hate to pry but well have you made any progress I asked I won't pretend to understand the physics of this Expedition but don't be so modest Connor Elizabeth said you're an engineer I'm sure you understand more than you pretend to know he's a mysterious egg Jacobs chuckled did you know that he twisted my arm to get on this Mission he was almost as determined

as me almost Elizabeth raised an inquisitive eyebrow yes I seem to remember him showing up quite late in training were you Keen to see action Connor the woman had kind eyes Elizabeth was middle-aged possibly the same age as Stanley but the years had been kinder to a soft skin Rosy cheeked face she reminded me of my late mother something about a velvety voice encouraged me to open up it wasn't about the adventure Dr Pharaoh I've just always been afraid I said I've always wanted answers to unanswerable questions and this phenomenon seems fundamentally just opposed to

the reality which surrounds it before either other physicists could reply our food Trace slid to the right as we did and everybody cried in confusion as the bodies were limply flung to the side of the unexpectedly leaning vessel my temple connected with the edge of the table drawing blood and I gripped either side of the canteen bench until my Knuckles whitened dozens of Dazed Injured Workers clambered to their feet we all hurry to our respective stations ready to assess the damage though the ship corrected its balance it continued to Quake uncontrollably and as we ran

to the engineering office my crew members and I shuddered at the sight of complete Blackness Beyond dm50 Windows the stars and planets had disappeared race for impact a voice shrieked over the ship's intercom the ship's outer body groaned under the strain of seismic pressure and I tumbled to the office's metallic floor the other engineers and I clutched at any fixed thing we could find and we erased for our lives as dm50 finally came to a blunt jarring halt everybody lay as still as possible moments of pain echoed around the office light fixtures flicked unstably and

various alarms sounded in a clamorous cacophony all Personnel report to the main Bridge a voice announced over the turoy my fellow wounded Engineers stumbled weakly to the corridor outside our office but we did not walk to the main Bridge we speechlessly filled the corridor and each of us stared out of the window and each of us stared out of the windows which lined the walkway Beyond dm50 there lay a near colorless hellscape the only light stemmed from a luminous blue orb in the distance a white dwarf one woman said gasping do they usually look like

that a man asked the edges of the orb seemed to dance erratically and the ocean beyond our ship was littered with tidal waves of crumbling rocks stray pieces clattered against the windows of dm50 and then I realized that one of the larger distant rocks was a planet it appeared to be cleanly split down the middle as if it were two halves of a cracked coconut shell this foreign place was not the Milky Way the very laws of physics seemed to contradict our reality we entered Harriet's eye a man whispered it's another Universe somebody muttered all

Personnel to the main Bridge The tanoy Voice repeated urgently snapping out of the existential fever which had seized our bodies the engineering crew hurried through the walkways of the ship and we joined everybody in the main Bridge area beyond the chatting crowd I could see Dr Jacobs and Dr Pharaoh standing sheepishly behind Captain pton quiet the captain bellowed the entire crew immediately complied we tried to fixate on our bearded stern-faced leader but our eyes kept wandering to the swirling Kaleidoscope of colors and bombardment of rocks beyond the Bridge's main Viewpoint an unidentifiable Force has pulled

us into the anomaly Captain pton said we're working towards immediately returning home and we do not know what we might find here the data has not yet been retrieved from the unman vessels so these are uncharted waters anxious murmuring resumed enough the captain shouted before we attempt to enter the anomaly again we must deem dm50 to be Ship Shape I'll leave that to our engineers the time is of the essence isn't that right Dr Jacobs there was a disquieting tension between the lead physicist and the captain Dr Jacobs cleared his throat the anomaly is shrinking

we should have told you that we have a limited window in which to explore what lies Beyond it that's not all Captain pton growled Stanley cleared his throat nervously but Elizabeth placed a delicate hand on his shoulder we have entered a dying Universe one that is collapsing on itself she said prompting a gasp of horror from the crowd the anomaly is our only exit and it will soon be closed for Good Dr Jacob sighed I believe that Harriet's eye might well be more than a rip in the lining of reality it might be the crunch

point for this universe all matter in this reality will collide here Anarchy ensued crew members H abuse of the physicists and a few Furious individuals lunged at Jacobs the captain and several security officers restrained the enraged crew members we can't change what is been done Captain pton yelled shoving the mob backwards when we return to Earth Dr Jacobs and Dr faroh will stand trial for their crimes until then we have one objective save every last person abroad this ship the crew worked tirelessly over the following hours but things only worsened we were sitting ducks at

the entrance to the anomaly the ever closing seal between two universes that became apparent as the ship's body began to wail painfully the onslaught of rocks louded against the metal work and reinforc glass panes the M50 began to Quake on a near constant basis and whenever I would glance out of the ship's windows I became acutely aware of a burgeoning light in the distance the Sinister swirling glow of a trillion galaxies converging the incoming flurry of long dead planets and moons the universe was collapsing and we were at the epicenter I eventually slumped into my

bunk bed at the brink of exhaustion but I found myself unable to shut my eyes eager to busy myself I switched to my terminal to run a few diagnostics for the evening the sooner we could give the captain the green light to go the better I was surprised to find a notification in my inbox it was a day old video message from Adam hey Connor I've been bored out of my mind I'm still upset that Dr Jacobs wouldn't let me join the crew so I decided to do some research on the big man I talked

to Frank in it because he owed me a favor and he let me look at some of the Transmissions that Jacobs has been deciphering NASA received signals from the anomaly that seemed communicative Connor and it was a two-way flow Jacobs responded he talked to something you need to ask him about that the thought of receiving a message from alien life whether in our universe or another had once filled me with such excitement but I was filled with the inexplicable dread by the idea of Jacob's communicating with some unseen intelligence it could have been the secrecy

surrounding the communication Jacobs hadn't told anyone that he'd already found something sentient Beyond Harriet's eye why my gut instinct was to confront him I slid out of bed got dressed and left the engineering quarters the ship was eerily quiet on my walk to the main laboratory other than the Roar of space debris which had become a form of white noise as expected I found Dr Jacobs hunched over at his desk and busy himself with work the white of the screen illuminated the man's gaunt possessed face he hardly looked human why didn't you tell us I

asked the Expedition would never have been green lit Dr Jacobs muttered without looking up good I said we never would have faced such horror Dr Jacobs removed his glasses and eyed me with disappointment what happened to that young man who wanted answers we're not going to get any answers here I said certainly not about that thing you heard in the darkness Stanley Jacobs froze eyeing me for a few seconds as droplets of sweat collected on his forward brow how did you know about that he whispered he only spoke to me I shivered he Stanley's frown

lifted as he realized that I knew nothing go to bed Mr Bridges he said returning his gaze to the laptop what were you hoping to find I asked the man scoffed Another Universe Connor something greater than us and I calculated that we had known more than a couple of years before harro's eye would seal forever a couple of I stopped mid-sentence how long do we have before this reality collapses Jacob's months weeks days Stanley whispered fists clenching of their own accord I stormed across the lab and towered over the man who quickly shrank into his

desk chair what could we possibly learn in day Stanley you brought us here to die I barked I wanted this to happen sooner he retorted but the AirHeads at NASA had to plan carefully unofficial projects are always messy especially when they result in countless deaths I said the anomaly almost tore the ship in half we might not even be able to fix it we might die don't you care I have every faith in you Dr Jacob said returning his gaze to the numbers on his screen and I have every faith in you I replied you're

lucky to even be here the physicist snarled as we continued the back and forth discussion our voices gradually raised it was only after 10 minutes of running in circles that we realized we were competing not with each other but with the growing Sound Outside the ship and when we turned our heads to the laboratory Windows Stanley and I gasped in unison the dying universe's void was filling with light at an increasingly rapid pace and D m50's trembling foundations felt less stable with every passing second no this isn't right we should have time Stanley breathlessly cried

I still have so much data to collect I need to all Personnel to stations a voice announced over the intercom flight to Harriet ey will commence in 5 minutes brace for impact we've barely run 50% of the necessary Diagnostics I said who cares about the ship Connor Dr Jacobs manically cried this is greater than anything in human history this is what are you the wispy disembodied voice rattled sharply around my skull like a coin stuck in a jar it's me I'm here Stanley whispered I did as you asked the physicist noticed my horrified expression and

he realized I heard the voice too he wasn't as special as he thought himself to be I became aware of the fact at all sound outside the ship had ceased the terrifying convergence of galaxies continued beyond the window but there was quiet only that haunting whisper permeated the silence a new land to conquer the voice thank you for showing me the door I want to see her Dr Jacobs wailed throwing his arms outwards you said I'd see Harriet she is still in the place of all dead things come closer let me show you the chilling

voice said outside the window amidst the multicolored glare of approaching galaxies I saw two forming bodies red G gassy spheres of biblical proportions and as black specs emerged from their centers I realized what they were eyes of unfathomable enormity I tried to scream but my quivering narrowing throat was unwilling could it have been strangled perhaps by that paranormal deity black tendrils emerged from the abyss of the universe's ever nearing Edge they curled forward and took the shape of colossal Godlike fingers fingers that were reaching towards us the ship suddenly lurched forwards the captain who had

looked upon the horror in the depths of space commenced our Voyage into Harriet's eye thankful for the slightest hope I looked to the sobbing physicist beside me Harriet he cried you you promised with a thunderous Clap the tremendous ear shattering sound of the collapsing Universe returned as if the terrifying entity with eyes like blazing gateways to Hell were roaring in Fury at our attempted Escape those ever stretching fingers soared towards our spacecraft and dm50 began to jolt from side to side a trillion swirling lights soared towards our ship as the universe's collapse quickened I screamed

as I finally fathomed the horror of being crushed by a universe but then the polling began the pull of the shriveled near closed anomaly Blackness began to envelop our ship we were entering Harriet's eye as Stanley and I sted ourselves against the nearby desk I closed my eyes and thought of home a little green rock that I had shunned for my entire life in that moment it was the only thing I wanted following an explosion of sound everything stopped all sound all movement and when I opened my eyes we were surrounded by life we had

returned to our universe there were bright burning stars in the distance fully formed planets Serene tides of space that gladly carried us home a long quiet journey home I rushed to the laboratory window to eye The Fading anomaly did it close or simply fade from view I still don't know part of me believes in the dark and distance of space I might have seen those terrible black tendrils slinking through the tear between realities the hand of a god fleeing its dying un Universe to claim another Dr Jacobs and Dr Pharaoh await trial for what they

did I've been denied visitation privileges but I need to see them I need to understand the last thing he said to me it lives
