...."That hell is real and is found in us all. It is the weight of our deepest sins, our most grievous guilts, and our most painful scars. All of our burdens in life, weighing us down and tormenting us as we leave this world. And the worst part is, there is no escape from us, from the things we have seen and experienced. Everyone has a different hell, but in the end, we are all suffering in our own heads on some level or another..."

At that, a hand pressed the button on the screen. In an instance, the sum total of human history was released into the datalinks. Perhaps to suave the mind of an awakening alien being, to not destroy humanity.

The long-forgotten past, the remains of Humanity had come to a new planet. Earth was a distant vagueness. Alas, mankind had never changed, bringing wars to a new world. We had never taken the lessons that the Universe had tempered. Until now.

The Awakening Alien being made its presence known. Judgement was nigh.

There was nowhere to run to. There was nothing Humanity could do.

"It's hot as hell here..." was the last Datalinks message ever.
