The Box.
Provides light in the darkness, and a song in the silence.
For it holds the knowledge of all that has become and all that will be.
Do not open.

History

First there was darkness, then the song, then light and dark repeating.

A little about me, I am a humble worker from Hurston, I started my working life running boxes for cash. Eventually purchasing myself a Vulture. After hauling scrap for sometime I branched out into mining and prospecting. Occasionally running into scoundrels who would use mining stations as battle grounds forcing me to defend the skies and protect any box runners. Never really leaving Hurston space other to run slightly shady contracts when times got hard, or chasing down reprobates who sullied the burning skies of the planet and moons I called home.

Before leaving the game one night I decided to go to ArcCorp for no reason at the time other than a mere whim. It is a place I have spent little to no time in… I left my body in Baijini Point and upon my return I came across The Box. Either compelled or unable to I carried it out of the the room, down into the lobby. Confused and unsure why The Box had manifested itself for me I tried to seek knowledge but the citizens would not listen or had no answers.

Placing The Box down I set about my return to Hurston and it’s moons. However the urge to return was too compelling and I returned back to Baijni, Picking up The Box again I pleaded with another citizen “Please take The Box” however again only deaf ears were found. Unable to convey The Box in my ship I carried The Box it was compelling me to travel to Pad 1, I conveyed it to where I felt it needed to go and left with it into the cold void only to sight a vessel.

A badly damaged and listing Redeemer, on the neighbouring pad; it’s rear ramp open to receive The Box. I placed the Box Down and jumped the void and gracefully fell into the hold of the ship. I navigated to the cockpit and struggled to right the craft and land it.

This was the first true test of The Box.

Once the ship was firmly on the Pad I brought The Box across and placed it before the cupboards of offerings.

I left the box, seeking for further faithful or anyone that could answer the call of The Box. I eventually encountered Witness SHOCK, who listened to the song and took pilgrimage to the sacred sight, as I waited further compulsion from the box took over and I clambered into the beds near The Box. I looked to my left and pressed the button for emergency override. Filling the box I found myself with pulsing light similar to The Box itself…I then looked outside of myself.

I saw space, nothing, the abyss: The beginning and the end. The Box had gifted me a glimpse into its sheer power and knowledge. I drew myself in knowing Witness SHOCK was close, the sounds of my soul returning to its body was that of a ship travelling through the quantum rifts the generate. Truly a powerful experience one will not forget.

Witness SHOCK appeared…Speechless. I encouraged him to embrace the warmth, the dark, and the song; gesturing towards the bed and instructing him on how to experience the gift of The Box.

I can not speak for his journey but he left enlightened for that I am sure.

Shortly after this encounter I have been ripped from existence and returned into a different universe. Ever so similar to my last but with different people and items not where they were just moments ago.

The Box has once again shown me its true power, and now I know I must spread the word.

And this my pilgrim is why you are here.

Become faithful, spread the word, seek The Box for yourself. Embrace all it has to give. But listen to the sacred text: DO NOT OPEN.

This is my truth recorded – PRAISE THE BOX! [ ]
