synopsis

SPACE ARK! is a thrilling sci–fi Space odyssey. The exhilarating adventure begins in 2022 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 whose very long duration and very faraway termini will be unprecedented in the annals of Space flights launched from Earth.

The dreamers at the innovative Space lab. design the Spaceships of their dreams, then build those exotic lifeboats dubbed circular wings. While some MPL engineers construct those magnificent vessels, others create the marvelous Androgynyn pilots who will man the extraordinary Starcraft which will whisk from their ever more imperiled world those chosen Earthlings in that durable form and then fly them across the yawning 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 very powerful Starships straightaway to the outermost extremities of the universe far away from the irresistible gravitational tug of a theorized Big Plunge so they can avoid being drawn into, and then incinerated by, such a crushing cataclysm and so the tandem salient goals of their epic enterprise can be accomplished. First, along with the chosen seeds of humanity other precious forms of life from the Earth must be painstakingly collected and translated into a binary format, then preserved in a digital repository onboard the Ark's genome wing for their eventual transplantation by the surrogate humans onto a habitable world somewhere in the current universe for which they must search while flying their farsighted mission of preservation and exploration. The Androgynyns then must fly ever onward and endeavor to reach the second major goal of their expedition: prove by way of their very long flight that the existing cosmos, which eventually they must attempt to exit, finally will expire in the death throes of a crushing Big Plunge but be succeeded by yet another monumental macrocosm born from the microcosm preceding yet another Big Bang after which multitudes of worlds gradually should form as in the prior empyrean. They hope at least one such new world will evolve into one ideally suitable for the seeding of what will be some very ancient seeds by then!

After years of developing the heterodox technologies for the unorthodox flying machines while planning the expedition they will fly and then building and thoroughly flight testing them, the audacious mission 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 curious essence 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 being pursued relentlessly and targeted for annihilation by its nemesis for aeons, the Ark Of Salvation finally defeats the diabolical and deadly protagonist at the dawn of the newborn universe.

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 closely observe and record in detail. The fascinating star system they descry looks especially tantalizing to them because one cerulean world orbiting its sun appears ideally suited for the superannuated 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 plan 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!
