He taps his front paw twice activating the space map. 

“The signal has jumped from one to four galaxies in the past doek (*comparatively a week on Earth), our analyst has calculated a speed of the same magnitude as the sunbeams coming from the Euripa Star (# the most far-reaching sun rays known to the GG).

“Have we gotten any communication from this situation? What should we call it? Queen Xela?”

“Pardon my planetary, Commander Cooper, I’m sure you have hated my withdrawal from my royal duties. It is not my intention to leave matters to you on this sig event. I have ruled for a thousand eons (*1 GG-eon = 1 million Earth-eon) now since inheriting the role from my mother, Grandma Ellcy. She advised me before this will come. This is not the first sig event we have experienced. I admit this one seems strangely similar to the Trekai-5000, you were still a pup when that was going on. I know you have studied the files as part of your training but like the Trekai-5000, Champi-3E5, Sonix-20 – It will pass, and we will never know why. We call it natural universal disturbances for a reason.”

“But Queen Xela , this one moves like all three of those!”

“I know, I know, but have you seen a whole galaxy created in the blink of a tonae (Comparative to a nanosecond)? No? Well, I have. That feeling does not fade. It happened a few million years ago. Everyone in the Gumway felt it. It wasn’t a turbulence shake, it was a warm wave of heat and cosmic energy radiating, hugging everyone as it moves across the universe and as it passes, you catch an image of the sparks and size of the moving particles through your body. It was as if you turned into a star yourself. A giant body mass of magic and pure endless energy. I caught that feeling last week from just a look.”

“The sig event. Beep, Beep, Bop, Beep, Beep. Snote-4E7.”

“How do we name these sig event anyway Queen Xela? This came from the sig situation this morning.”

“We call it such after the trails it leaves and then the trail year it is in. All that stuff is arbitrary to us. You see, time is relative. In the Kelvin Galaxy, time and space are essential still, nothing moves, and space exists within each water droplet that vibrates in its own rotation. The sig event can teleport through a neighboring wormhole in the next topae (*comparative to a picosecond) and be in a completely different position. The trail year we have chosen is a mere snapshot and used to categorize its characteristics. Analyst B, we must predict where it will jump to next and intercept it. Mechanics in the metaverse have been working on this since Sonix-20, the first sig event. We have made several mistakes in the past trying to understand these disturbances. Lost fleets of our own on these endless trail chase. Lost in wormholes, devoured by black holes, smashed by asteroids, or hijacked by space bandits. The mistake was not expecting the sig situation to detect our incoming presence. It seems it detect nearby space warption and light fraction. It teleports the moment the frequency wave presents itself after the light fraction, so it observes a warning before we even arrive in that galaxy.”

“Back when the Sonix-20 was happening, the space king of the Mooly Galaxy realized the trail chase of the sig event became a zero-sum gain competition among the other space kings of the universe. The Trekai-5000 came and like the Sonix-20, we know nothing of the occurrence. The time advisors of the kings were ignored except for timelord Iro, trusted advisor to King Koa of the Mooly Galaxy of the pentadimension. Chasing of the sig events became galactically banned. The kings came together and decided the continued understanding of the sig event remain crucial to the time-space balance. The kings remained in their perspective galaxies and enlisted the Galactic Gumway, the one of the few auto- generating species made from its own planets. A collective celestial creation birth from the planet’s resources. Queen Xela’s pupils come from the seeding of the Juli plant on Ia, years and millions of generational coupling. Grandma Ellcy was known for her beautiful long hair that traced her elegant neck. Her hair was once the life force of the longest healing river in the water planet, Sapmu. Fluffy water that hugs and holds like microscopic fingers as soft as velvet and smooth as clay. The Sapmu river is still as lush and flowing and has run for as long as I’ve known. Gram Ellcy is in retirement and hair glows the high palace like a lighthouse for wondering spaceships that stumble upon or dedicated visitors of the GG.” 

“Uh, Queen Xela. We have news, there is an sig event following the original sig event we were following.” 

“Commander Cooper, please tell me how that is possible. Are you saying something or someone is chasing the Snote-4E7??”

Sig events chasing have been banned for so long, every species knows better to do that…or it could be something else… 

Queen Xela pace around perplexed and resist the thought of intergalactic dissolution of sig events agreement.

Impossible. Could it be a sig event on top of a sig event?? Or…or was it something else. Could it be something to do with that Earthling…
