Part 5/7:
Emerging from the wormhole, Ethan finds himself in an uncharted region of space, dominated by a colossal structure—a Dyson Sphere. The theoretical mega-structure, designed to harness the full energy output of a star, signals the presence of an advanced alien civilization. Here, Ethan faces the haunting reality of his situation: humanity has only briefly tasted the wonders of light-speed travel while oblivious to civilizations capable of grand architectural feats and intergalactic travel.
As fear grips him, Ethan watches small shuttles detach from the Dyson Sphere and approach. Understanding the enormity of his situation, he grapples with the stark possibility of never returning to Earth. He embraces a photo of his family, preparing himself for what may be his final moments.
