[ WP ] `` IT DID N'T WORK ! GET AWAY , HURRY ! ''

`` Does it matter what year it is? When we're done that question will be irrelevant.'' The man began to tap at a keyboard. 
 
 `` Are n't you curious about how much time has passed? How things have turned out?'' The second man asked having paused from tapping on a touch screen. 
 
 The device had been built eons ago; The best of their time used the combined resources of humanity to build this facility. At the time it was jokingly called `` Humanities lifeboat''; built by a group of people who refused to take inevitability as the final word on their existence. Their problem was that while being on the precipice of heat death, they were still too far away for the device to function properly. 
 
 Many were put in stasis and 2 of those were made stewards of the device. One was chosen and one volunteered. The device was to gather the data required to function then wake up it's stewards to initiate the final sequence. The process could have been automated but the designers wanted a human touch in the process. 
 
 The chosen steward paused for a moment then replied `` Entropy happened, I do n't need to know anything beyond that.'' He took a breath `` I do n't even want to be here, remember? Infact when I was'informed' of my'honorable duty', they made sure to mention that i was chosen because i was the *most* outspoken person against the position'' 
 
 The volunteer steward sighed, then apologized `` You're right of course, but the administrators wanted someone cynical to offset my eagerness.''. The volunteer paused to wait for a response but received none. `` the sooner we ge-'' 
 
 `` Yes i know, I'm already getting started'' 
 
 The stewards were to use the data the device had collected to create a singularity then colapse the know universe into it. They were going to create a new universe using the dead matter from theirs. They would monitor the young universe and adjust it's content to ensure that the universe would function the same as it predecessor. After that the device was to wait until the universe had cooled enough and send the ship through. 
 
 `` Great! Looks like the Universal Quantum constant has been properly imbued `` how are those -'' 
 
 `` They're fine, and you calculations are great. That means out job is done here let's get to our pods and-'' 
 
 A klaxon sounded, signifying an error. 
 
 `` It looks like several of the Alcubierre stabilizers have failed, we're in free fall!'' 
 
 `` I'll try to correct it, the system was made redundant for a reason!'' The volunteer gasped **'' IT DID N'T WORK! GET AWAY, HURRY! `` ** 
 
 The chosen steward simply said `` Go where?!'' before he and the whole facility was vaporized in a big bang. 
 
 The last of humanity had been splattered over the surface of a new universe that they had hoped to inhabit. Their greatest hope became their greatest legacy.
