In the year 2148, each country sent it's own spaceship into space with a single goal of finding another world. Three days have passed without problem, but on the 4th day, when one of the spaceships reached another system, it disappeared without a single trace. Word was sent to other countries, some of them sent another spaceship to find them. But everyone who got near them, disappeared too. Scientist started a project to research about it. After years of research, they found out that it's some kind of teleport passage or warp gate. Desperate to find the destination, they sent another scout ship with scientists on it. They didn't have the permission to get near it, but the coordinates were wrong. It was much bigger than expected. They suddenly got sucked in. Then suddenly, everything went into a deep silence. The spaceship wasn't damaged and scientist were alive but...

They found out multiple traces of organic species on detector and an unknown spaceship approaching them, defenseless in the middle of an unknown place. Unknown spaceship approached them, broadcasting a message. It seemed to be in English, they got surprised who were them? The unknown spaceship wanted them to follow it.

They follow it to another planet, when they landed, they got terribly surprised. There were humans on it, humans!!! Looks like the whole planet was colonized by them, but how?! How many spaceship were sent there? Colonizing an entire planet requires at least hundreds of them!!! Soon they found out that it wasn't the only planet. Clueless of what's going on, they went to one of the planet's headquarters, the only thing they heard was: "All will be explained soon..."

As they went into that palace, they met that sector's leader who was going to explain the whole story to them. Scientists, surprised by everything just looked at him. This is what he said:

"Long ago, our fathers reached this new world. They said, they're masters sent them here but now there is no turning back. Lost in this new world, our fathers landed on of the planets. If was possible to live there. Lost and defenseless in this new world, they struggled to survive. They started from absolute nothing and yet we are here. They completely forgot their past, and started a new life. Their spaceship was the remnant of their lost technology helped us advance this far. And then, a group left for another planet, and then another group and another group. They started to colonize another planets. Slowly, we grew stronger and stronger, but power...power...is what bring war and destruction. Two power can't exist at a same time, this is when the war started. There were alliances created and war fought but for what? This is the nature of humans! They bring only destruction...slowly, they destroyed what the were created by struggle. Such fools, they will never learn from their mistakes...After the great war, when casualties reached over millions, and hundreds of colonies destroyed, they found themselves again. There was peace once again but do they really change? And now, here we are, living our lives after a thousand years"

Scientist and asked: "A thousand years?! How many years have passed?!"

He answered: "Thousands..."

Scientists just stared...stared...
