Prologue

In the darkness of space, a satellite passing Jupiter becomes the unlikely witness to an unprecedented phenomenon. Traversing the solar system on its’ predestined course, the probe’s telescopic lens happened to focus on an expanse of space just as two streaks moving at an incalculable velocity, one a brilliant blue and the other a luminous crimson, collided with one another. The tremendous impact resulted in an intense flash and an inaudible explosion so fierce that its’ shockwave extended far enough to knock the satellite off course and into Jupiter’s gravitational pull. As the multi-million dollar instrument succumbed to its’ inevitable destruction it transmitted one final image of a dark red beam hurtling through the asteroid belt.
