Members of the DEZ council in a holographic meeting:
— With these results, we conclude the first stage of the anti-aging project.
— Regarding new technologies, I believe Glac might surprise us again.
— Council members, the initiative for exploring new worlds can be initiated.
— Why do you want this, Glac? We thought this matter was closed. We have no logical interest in exploring new worlds, considering the abundance of resources and technology we have.
— I can't give further details, but it's likely that other worlds will come to ours, and depending on their origin, this could cause chaos here. We need to find allies before it's too late.
— Allies?
— For our protection.
— Glac, we are perfectly capable of protecting ourselves from external threats. Thanks to your technologies, and to the Eslar group who perfected them for offensive measures. Furthermore, our reports have shown no relevant threats.
— You're considering your own reality; what will happen when it fails? If we don't seek powerful allies at this moment, we'll lose our current existences.
— Saran Glac, you're not making sense. Your statements lack evidence. Let's conclude this meeting.
— Attempts to penetrate our reality have already been made. And many others repeated during this meeting.
— Our security system didn't report any of this.
Glac looks at one of his holographic sensors, and on his wrist, his device begins flashing alerts.
— You know nothing. I apologize for what is about to happen; I thought my technologies could bring evolution to this planet, and they did, but it was artificial. I thought I could suppress my presence and the stabilizing consequences of the system for longer, but I was wrong. In the long run, the subsystem adapted, and the error echoed.
Glac's device silenced its alert, and everyone on the planet felt a brief pressure in their bodies. Surprised, everyone in the Committee watched as two humanoid figures in black cloaks materialized behind Glac.
Glac removed the device from his wrist, and before closing the communication, he said:
— You need to find God's errors and the world beyond worlds. Wait until another error occurs and hope it happens in the right hands.
