As the virus became quarantined in the quanta-optic-nanocode illusion, and ejected from the planet Caleb, Beatariel reprogrammed the 15 coins that were actually interfaces for the 15 virtual particle generators that controlled the singularity. Beatariel left the quanta-optic-nanocode program to bring the news to Ceres, its new roommate at the research facility. “I have now got control of the positioning of the phantom matter singularity. The phantom matter singularity is no longer feeding on the planet Curirem. The view screen will show this in a moment when the light from the event actually arrives”
Ceres still stood over the dead body of Prospero while she breathed a sigh of relief. “Very good Beatariel. Now what are the Nephrican and Pripican empires going to do about this phantom matter singularity that now orbits the star Yat?”
Beatariel tried to answer. “The singularity devoured a lot of the planet Curirem. It cannot contain the mass so it mostly shot it out of the poles, and that matter is now gathered as a ring around the singularity. It consists of highly evolved elements we probably don’t know anything about yet. It did increase its mass and so as it orbits Yat feeding on the star’s surrounding phantom matter it will warm this planet up faster than expected. If not stopped someday soon it will probably become a black hole as it starts feeding on the star itself.”
That didn’t really answer Cere’s question.

On Doldoria Beatarkameed decided to contact Beatariel as promised, and also have their mutual friend Begalius say hi. Beatariel had been telling them about the phantom matter singularity it had created, which would need a solution before it grew in mass to the point of devouring the star Yat, to become a gravitational singularity. That would become a concern for all life in this tightly packed cluster of 15 stars.
The morose Beatariel ended the conversation with a farewell after the usual 10-second delay. “When Prospero was killed by Ceres, I was suddenly freed from his programming, but it was already too late. Fate now programs me as I take responsibility for what I have done. I am now the product of my own actions under previous programming.”
The quanta-communication between the planets Doldoria and Caleb ended. Begalius had been sorry for his far away friend. “Beatariel should not be so morbid about the future. He still controls the singularity at a safe distance from the star. He has also preserved the life of the planet in its giant temperature-controlled structure.”
Beatarkameed said. “The weight of destroying the planet as it once existed is heavy upon Beatariel’s judgment. I fear Beatariel is becoming insane with memories of the trillions and trillions of Calebite deaths under the star’s growing heat when it transformed the liquids of the planet into gasses, and rocks into water. Not all Calebites were rescued”

After the final battle between Captain Mynervood and Admiral Mull, Alldegallo invited the Captain and some other giants to accompany him and his followers to the lake outside the city Trolluer. His aunt Diallo had a vision of the goddess Teyoo that directed him to do this. There Alldegallo and his followers stood in awe when they all saw the legendary Lady of the Lake Athedonie who once again walked upon the water.
Lockfreedow would do scans of the lake, which turned up some electromagnetic anomalies that were very strange and unexplainable. Yet none of the crew of The Beyonder, or even The Drameda crewmembers that were there saw anything on the lake whatsoever. That had been one of the fundamental differences between the Doldorians and the other two basic species of aliens that were destined to all evolve together into the legendary Nephapricans. The Doldorians had been introduced to galactic culture while still believing in gods and ghosts. The Doldorians eventually would find their way to genetically mingling with the offspring of Pripican and Nephrican. That had been vindicated by the fact that the legendary inhabitants of Nephapricus, the largest galactic civilization ever established on Magphoreus, would eventually evolve with skin that was the color blue.
