In The Beginning * By Our Own Professor Farnsworth

 

Star System Alpha Centauri


IN THE BEGINNING:


All Being finished setting the parameters of the template for this specific reality. He established how elements reacted to one another, how atomic particles moved and changed states. He set up all the mathematical constants that would govern everything along with biology, chemistry and all the physical processes that made reality work. When done, he stepped back and asked his second “what do you think?”  “I say it's good, Master.” Nodding his head, All Being said, “so be it." He reached into this new plane of existence, exhaled his breath into it and snapped his fingers. With a great explosion, the mechanisms that moved the universe slowly began to grind and turn as it grudgingly began following the template that was laid out before it.



 Prologue Part 1: In a small corner of this universe....

 

In a star system 4.37 light years from Earth was a binary star system whose twin stars  orbited each other, which we call the Alpha Centauri system. The celestial dance they performed birthed 2 planets, one a small icy planet outside the inhabitable zone and one super Earth that orbited a small red dwarf. It was in this mystical zone where humans believed life would exist. It was a hostile planet because it was so close to its star that one side permanently faced the angry red dwarf who would occasionally spit out flares to punish it's child. One side bathed in heat and radiation and the other side, absolute cold. Life is hardy as we all know, so along the terminator, the line where light and dark collide, there was a thin line of neutrality where these two opposing forces balanced out and life could begin.


This life was extra hardy for it had to live on the razor's edge between life and death.


Over billions of years of trials and extinction events, life evolved and adapted according to All Being's template. A civilization was born, a very arrogant, aggressive, and intelligent race. This race had no name for themselves  yet to express their assumed greatness.
