Synopsis[]
Professor Obligado flies the ship he stole from a platoon of Black Ops Utromi Obscura Secreti. He has a simple plan in mind: to data-mine the ship’s computer for information related to Magonia. His intent is to use that information to bring a legal case before the Universal Court of Supreme Justice. What he discovers is of far greater import, leaving him wishing for his pipe and tobacco.
In need of the calming state brought about only by certain types of tobacco, Obligado heads to the nearest deep space station with a Hookha Joe’s franchise. Without thinking about it, he places the purchases on his Hookha Joe account, which alerts the Secreti to his whereabouts. Upon leaving the space station he is set upon by three Secreti ships. The ships open fire on him and the Professor punches in the coordinates he found on their ship and enters hyperspace, but so do the Secreti.
Obligado exits hyperspace and finds himself staring at the largest wormhole he’d ever seen. The Deus Optica, otherwise known as “The Eye of God”. The Deus Optica is the largest wormhole in the universe and incapable of being tracked or located. As a result, it has never been anything more than a myth amongst scholars. Obligado now sees it to be real; just one more astronomical revelation that the Secreti have been covering up. The Secreti ships continue firing upon him and with no other way out, Obligado flies directly into the Deus Optica. The Secreti ships stop and then turn back.
Upon exiting the wormhole, Obligado finds himself in a dense forest of massive hair follicles, being approached by several gargantuan fleas.
