Collector had just returned from scanning the fractured planet, but a few minutes into evaluating the data he realized exactly how much he missed while researching infinity.
He decided to take a break, whatever was happening on that planet did not seem to be moving any time soon.
But sadly... That was not the case...
???: it is time... They have found my crystal... Let the end of the multiverse... BEGIN...
Meanwhile the collector was speaking with inkmatas. she was glad to see him, but quickly became worried when he began to tell her about what he has discovered.
Inky: don't you need our help? Especially with what happened with He and the traveler?
Collector: trust me, if it's something as strong as the crystal of creation neither you, eggy, or even redi could stand a chance. And besides, I'd rather not see any of you end up like those stickmanian ships.
Inky: I guess you're right... Have you asked redi about it? If it's mainly stickmania doing the research wouldn't he have classified information?
Collector: a logical assumption, but he says he's had almost nothing to do with research on that planet. He even admitted he almost forgot the name of it!
Inky: oh...
Collector: I detected no life forms on that planet, and since it's even highly secret at the citadel I doubt anyone could find it, Let alone get to it's surface.
Suddenly a shiver went up the collectors spine, as the crystal of creation began to flow brighter than usual, It seemed to have sensed something.
