This end, and the escaping craft, are witnessed by another ancient race, which laments the loss, but finds its own resolve to help prevent such tragedies strengthened. They embrace, the craft launches, and ironically enough, that act is the trigger for their world's destruction. Helpless to prevent the coming tragedy, the couple hopes to survive it, in a sense, by launching their own vessel, which will carry every aspect of their culture to a distant planet, actualized in the form of a child. In one, an alien couple gazes out upon their technologically advanced world, while one tells the other that each exploratory probe the planet launches brings their doom that much closer, their manipulation of gravity increasing the instability of the black hole at planet core. But behind each seemingly innocuous object lies a story, and a tragedy. These objects are a complete mystery to the Planetary personnel who discover them while digging through the abandoned New York laboratory of the sinister group known as The Four.
