SPACE ARK! is a thrilling
sci-fi Space odyssey. The exhilarating adventure begins in 2020 A. D. on planet Earth
where some quite inventive Space technologists and a number of very ingenious scientists are industriously engaged in developing
that world's next generation of Spaceships whose potent system of propulsion will be a radical departure from the extremely
powerful, yet extremely limited, jet propulsion generated by conventional rocketry. The futuristic setting for that advanced
R & D is the Magnetic Propulsion Laboratory, or MPL, which evolves out of JPL, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, located on the
outskirts of Pasadena, California in the USA. Some of the dedicated visionaries at that experimental Space laboratory are working
diligently on a project the bold goal of which is to build the first flying saucers
made on Earth! A fleet of the otherworldly Discs will be piloted by the twin personages of eighteen very special engineers and
scientists selected from among their colleagues at the advanced research and development facility. Those especially devoted
people are chosen to have their DNA culled for use in generating synthetic Replicates of themselves so their mirror-image
clones can be entrusted with the momentous task of preserving the endangered life of an ever more troubled and jeopardized
world from which they will have originated. The trusty plenipotentiaries will endeavor to accomplish the vital objectives of
their daunting mission by flying through deep Space on a daring expedition the long duration and faraway termini of which
will be unprecedented in the annals of Space flights launched from planet Earth.
The innovative aerospace lab's dreamers design the Spaceships of their dreams, then fabricate those
exotic lifeboats dubbed circular wings. While some
MPL engineers are assembling those magnificent vessels, others at the lab. are creating the marvelous Androgynyn pilots who
will man the extraordinary Starcraft which will whisk from their ever more imperiled world the chosen Earthlings in that durable
form, then fly them across immense chasms of interstellar space toward very distant destinations. The initial plan is for the
Androgynyns to employ the slingshot force of an hypothesized red-shift catapult which their creators calculate should
boost those powerful Starships straightaway to the outermost extremities of the universe far enough away from the irresistible
gravitational tug of a theorized Big Plunge so they will avoid being drawn into, and then incinerated by, such a crushing
cataclysm and so the tandem salient goals of the grand enterprise can be achieved. First, seeds of humanity and other precious
forms of life from the Earth must be preserved painstakingly in a storable form, then seeded by the surrogate humans onto
habitable worlds as they are discovered, a series of cosmic steppingstones for which they must search throughout the cosmos
while flying their epic mission of preservation and exploration. The Androgynyns then must fly ever onward and endeavor to
accomplish the second major objective of their protracted expedition: prove via their very long flight that the existing
universe, which in due time they must try to exit, finally will expire in the death throes of a shattering Big Plunge but be
followed by another macrocosm born from another Big Bang after which countless new worlds gradually should form as in the prior
empyrean. Their hope is that at least one such nascent world eventually will evolve into one ideally suitable for transplantation
of what will be some very primitive seeds by then!
After years of developing the heterodox technologies for the unorthodox flying machines while planning
the expedition they will fly, then building and thoroughly flight testing them, the audacious mission finally launches its
extensive flight skyward toward the nether regions of Space. The star fleet flies so far and for so long a time that it outlasts
the end of one macrocosm by evading its destructive death while observing and recording the devastating dynamics of its inevitable
demise and eventual cataclysmic annihilation. The Ark of Discovery flies ever onward and also eludes the even greater creative
force of a new Big Bang while monitoring its grand nature in detail and thereby proves what is by then a very ancient Multi-Cosmos
Theory! During its marathon trek, the Ark of Ages is in a dangerous Space race with its menacing arch rival GALCON, the colossal
InterGalactic Conglomerate, a gargantuan commercial enterprise which also employs those otherworldly technologies but only for
self-aggrandizement during its avaricious mining escapades that eventually span many a galaxy. The Ark of Destiny is forced
to battle the mighty GALCON in a decisive star war during which it must save a budding universe and itself from its ferocious
archenemy which the ancient Ark of Faith was certain could not possibly have survived the lethal Big Plunge at the terminus
of the previous cosmos, and subsequent explosive Big Bang that followed its Big Crunch, yet somehow did! After the dawn of a
newborn universe, the Ark of Salvation finally defeats its evil and potent protagonist after being pursued relentlessly and
targeted for annihilation by that deadly nemesis for aeons.
After resuming its far-flung voyage following its miraculous victory over the terrifying and perennial scourge of GALCON,
the Ark of Dreams becomes a very ancient dream by that time. Its ever inquisitive astronauts fly ever onward and eventually
discover a wonderful maturing solar system while navigating the wondrous nascent heavens whose gradual development they
observe closely and document in detail. The fascinating star system they descry is especially tantalizing to them because
one cerulean world orbiting its sun looks perfectly suitable for the very ancient dream of reincarnating their carnal ancestors
who, once upon a time, lived on a similar orb named Earth which once resided for so long a time amidst the erstwhile empyrean.
For, those very ancient ancestors were the special people who originally fashioned the Androgynyns and then dispatched them
on their very long exodus from the bygone cycle of Creation whence they all originated oh so long ago. The amaranthine mission has some very mystical encounters with some very mysterious Beings before
and during its exceedingly long journey. First, while the mission's crews are still Earthbound when they encounter three
extra-terrestrial Starships, which inspire their own similar designs, one of which is stranded temporarily while visiting the
Earth. Then, with some telepathic dolphins who cheer their heady plans to exit their imperiled planet. Next, with spiritual
protectors who mysteriously help them in The Battle Of The Void with GALCON. Finally, during their search for a solar system
with a habitable world when the replicated Beings become endued with supernatural energy and power just prior to their
transubstantiation back into the original people who had created them after they alight upon hearth and
its companion moon charm which are orbiting around
their sun in a star system within a pinwheel galaxy named the milky mode which
is spiraling round and round amongst billions of other young galaxies populating a new and expanding firmament! |
