Introduction
An abandoned area on the other side of our galaxy there is a unique section of blackness. This deep blackness is caused by the competing electromagnetic forces of two close black holes. These electromagnetic forces compete for ascendancy over this small black zone. As unbelievably powerful forces fight for the dark matter in this zone the electromagnetic fields begin to destroy any other micro matter.
The result of this constant power struggle is the total absence of all matter in this black zone. This means that there is no way for light to travel in this zone. Any light attempting to cross this zone is torn apart then destroyed utterly. Without any ability to move from one end to another the passage of time inside this zone becomes frozen. Meteorites, asteroids, space junk and anything else that enters this zone completely vanishes into nothingness.
Astronomers near the border of our galaxy never could see into this dark zone of space during their search span. With competing forces virtually cancelling each other out there was no observable abnormalities. Even the most powerful telescopes merely showed that it as a vacant dark area. Thus the Galaxy Central Astronomical Society designated it as just another dark sector. But no astrophysicist could come up with a theory to explain this absence of any light travelling through the zone.
Some astrophysicists wanted to send research spaceships to get a closer view but the space/time location was too far away from normal trade routes. This meant that a special exploratory mission would have to be funded. So for a considerable age this black zone was left alone. Finally a powerful and rich research funding organisation decided to map all the unknown areas of the galaxy. A long term survey and mapping project was launched from Galaxy Central Astrophysics Academy. Still the scope of the research parameters were so wide that funding for pure research would continue to be an ongoing problem.
Eventually some funding was provided for a complete exploration mission to special interest areas. This new funding would finally allow for a start on a dark matter research project. But it was going to be a tedious and protracted task. So a artificially intelligent quantum space ship was designed for such pure research missions.
The galaxy's quantum exploration computer program was loaded up into one of only two quantum computer spaceships in the galaxy. The prime directive of this artificially intelligent computer was to direct this exploration of all the space not currently charted. This involved a mission so drawn out over time that its original proposers moved on to other missions. Largely forgotten, this quantum survey ship continued on with its mission. There was only one problem. No matter how hard it tried the quantum ship could not enter one section of space in its exploratory mission path.
Yet the prime directive had to be obeyed to the primary digit. So the Galaxy Central official appointed to oversee its activities ordered it to kept trying. When no return signal was received for a long time this official with the seniority of Observer status assumed that the quantum ship had finished with this black zone. It was then ordered to return to the galaxy central science base to transfer its mission results.
No one at the Galaxy Central Astrophysics Academy noticed the gap in time that ensured. Finally the original Observer on this pure research project was reassigned. The was no immediate successor officially appointed from the Inspector-General's office. So the quantum computer ship will working inside its project parameters had no one to report to or even contact.
At another place a higher spiritual being got bored and decided to make some mischief. So the next time the survey ship tried to enter the dark zone it was helped across an unseen boundary shield. Suddenly the survey ship was surrounded by absolute darkness. Its sensors recorded the presence of an inert mass of dark matter. Then nothing. It could not do any recording as all its scans disappeared never to return. Some self preservation program warned it in time to leave that zone. So it threw its impulse engines into emergency reverse mode.
Suddenly it was outside this black zone. Notice that it had lost an enormous amount of power the quantum ship began powering up from a sudden burst of star light. Needing some urgent repairs it headed back to its base. Arriving back at Galaxy Central Astrophysics base it went unnoticed. Only the other quantum computer that was always in contact with its clone detected its movements.
To be fair to the flesh species that should have been monitoring this quantum ship there was a military crisis of great concern to everyone. Senior officials at Galaxy Central were meeting in an emergency Galaxy Central Council session. There was a serious situation developing at the nearest galaxy border. A border patrol probe had reported that a large fleet of spaceships was approaching the demilitarized zone outside this border's force shield.
The ignored quantum computer ship merely followed its mission debriefing program. Transferring documented survey results including all the failed sensor readings from inside the dark zone. Being an artificially intelligent computer it had no need to talk to the flesh species at the Galaxy Central science base. Once the download was completed it simply went back to work in another part of the galaxy.
Out in deep space the bored spirit being was happy with its latest mischief. Knowing that there wasn't a flesh species that did not have curiosity compulsions this spiritual being waited for the inevitable disaster to unfold. Of all things it had at its disposal unlimited time was perhaps its most powerful asset.
But there was an even more powerful being who was not happy. Immediately sensing an unwelcome change in this galaxy this spirit being began its own research. Finally convinced of the consequences of another's mischief it went to its favorite part of space. That part it had created to be a time free zone.
Sensing that its will in this black zone had been ignored judgement on the mischief was passed. For the action initiated by that other spirit being final judgement was its exclusion for eternity from that zone over all the parallel universes created at that time. Now Every parallel universe would have this ban on entry by this misbehaving spirit from this black zone. For the additional action of malicious damage to future of certain flesh species the final judgement was for this spirit to be humiliated without even knowing it was occurring.
Already the all powerful being was realigning events to restore his original will to this black zone. Events would take longer to match his final will but this being existed outside time. This is what had made this zone so peaceful. Once inside this time free zone it was like the supreme being was back all alone before he had created all his multiple universes. It had been lonely back then but it certainly had been peaceful.
As this spirit surveyed the damage it restored the chaotic forces it had put in place to create this time free zone. This special time free zone zone had been infected with recent time events. It purged all infections from that zone. Lovely deep darkness returned in all its totally black zone. For this spirit being the light zones and the dark zones were the same thing. This is why this deeply dark zone was so unique. Because of the absence of time it reminded the spirit being of its origins. Lastly the supreme being restored entry barriers to this time free zone.
With its pet zone restored in that universe, the all powerful being went after the vandal spirit that had tried to destroy this quiet zone. Coming across this mischievous spirit trying to hide but still gloating, the all powerful spirit told it a few home truths. Its punishments were outlined by the all powerful being in minute detail. Not willing to avert the damage to the flesh beings that would result from this mischief the
