Report from watcher Michael, Seraphim 1rst class, gamma sector, 5th dimension to his eminence Arch Angel Gabriel. Stardate 2354.7

Salutations your eminence. We are receiving some interesting reports from our watchers in every sector and dimension throughout the universe. It appears as though strange glowing orbs have risen to the surface from deep underground on every populated planet we surveil. We have no initial theory on their purpose or intent only to say that it appears that this phenomenon has occured simultaneously on every world. We await your orders on how to proceed.

Salutations. The phenomenon of the orbs has also occured on our own homeworld. Our scientists have been studying the orb and while they have made some progress it remains a mystery where it came from originally and its exact purpose. I can report that we have found it to be millions of years old, even older than our race is known to be and it poses no threat to life. Even stranger is the fact that exactly every 23.7 hours the luminescent glow fades and stange images of myriad races, wars, planets and spaceships travelling in the vast expanse of space appear and remain for only .3 hours for each cycle. We have seen images of our own race both past and present and have seen races of creatures that are unknown to even us. Are these images of other races, peoples that once existed and perished in the mists of time or do they actually exist in dimensions that are as yet untravelled? Most curious indeed. We will continue to study and analyze these images and imform all of our watchers when we have more information.

Salutations. Our scientists have recorded images from the orb of our homeworld and several of the planets we now inhabit. These images are disturbing in that they show our worlds as burnt out husks with no life present. We cannot say what these images represent at this time but our scientists are working around the clock to analyze them. Whether they are representations of events past or a portent of the future is a matter of speculation. Nonetheless we prepare. We have begun building fleets of ships to expand and colonize the universe with our race should the worst happen ...... we will be prepared.
