CIRCLING CHAOS
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Althea had been told not to go off the ship, she had been warned. The consequences would be dire but she couldn’t stay away; the stairs called to her, beckoning her to have a look, that’s all—just one simple look.

Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Aboard a nice, pressurized spacecraft like the Fulminus, however, anybody can.

Dark matter gets its name because it doesn’t interact with electromagnetic fields, meaning it doesn’t produce or reflect light. Though we can’t detect it directly, astrophysicists are fairly certain it exists due to its gravitational influence. Even back in 1884, Lord Kelvin looked at the velocity of stars near the center of the Milky Way and knew their speeds couldn’t be explained by only visible matter. He reasoned that the vast majority of the matter in our galaxy was invisible. Since then, the evidence for dark matter has piled up. Today astrophysicists use it to explain everything from the rotation of galaxies to the makeup of the cosmic microwave background, as dark matter’s gravitational pull seems to be the missing piece of the puzzle. In fact, the consensus is that it comprises roughly 85% of the universe’s matter, though we still struggle to explain what it’s made of.

Chapter 1 Aria Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I try to quell my rising panic. There is a coiling in the pit of my stomach as I look out of the small, round window to the fathomless open pit of space. The blackness is all consuming, suffocating; even with the scattering of stars, strewn across the darkness like white paint thrown at a black canvas.

“Trooper? Trooper, can you hear my voice?” I slowly turn my head to the sound of the voice. I see four people wearing the red and orange colored armor of a Rescue Squad. I blink once and they’re even closer.

Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. The exterior cameras caught footage of the incident. It was somewhat horrific. There had been some damage with one of the circuits which ran the exit portal usually used for robots exiting to make external fixes on the space station. The door opener had been tripped and a person, a female person, had been essentially ejected from the space station. Usually, robots used this in order to access the outside of the space station but they were always tethered before they exited. The entire area around the ejection portal was sterile and clean. All the surfaces were white and dustless, the cleaning robots went through these hallways a lot, vacuming up any dust and few people came in to dirty the space. Also, they didn't need to breathe, so they didn't need spacesuit enabled with an air supply. The footage contained the moment right after the young woman had been ejected from the space station. She must have been trying to open the window covering further to take more photographs, but the wrong button had been pressed at the ejection location, so she was immediately dumped into the vacum of space just outside the space station. There was a tether for when robots or suited construction workers used the ejection spot to go out into the darkness of space and repair the outside of the space station, but she wasn't connected to this tether at all. Even if she had been tethered she would have most likely died anyways since being out in space unsuited still would have killed her in under a minute. She had been trying to do some photography and even though people were banned from this wing, and only robots were allowed to access and walk about the storage area, she had snuck in with her camera and had been shooting through the window of the portal. The side of Europa which was facing away from the sun often glowed in the dark, and the young woman had always tried to take photos of the unique aspects of Jupiter's most beautiful moon.

Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. We learned the truth though. They're deafening. Four days earlier
Into Darkness
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I can hear everything. A vibration of noises sings a disturbing melody all around me. I feel as though something terrible has happened, but my mind is entrapped in confusion.

VOICELESS UNIVERSE: A TALE OF PARA THE EXPLORER BY IRIS BROOKS CHAPTER ONE: LOST IN SPACE Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Plants and trees can “hear” sounds through vibrations in their leaves. And humans also respond to the impact of vibrations. Likewise, 24th-century humans have evolved in voiceless worlds to both “hear” and communicate with organs other than the ears or mouth.

Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But I can feel it rising in my throat—an unstoppable tsunami triggered by an earth-shattering realization in the pit of my stomach. Like the raging columns of water from the ocean floor to the wave’s crest, every atom in my body leans toward the one thing I feel prepared to do, and that is to scream.

“Welcome back to the land of the living my friend. You have been gone for quite some time.” Commander Baja says cheerfully as I look around. Her teal-colored hair (which normally should be up) was currently hanging down just barely touching her shoulders. I guess standard doctrine was out the window at this point. I mean, even if what I saw wasn’t a dream, at this very moment it was currently just us here. Who knew how long it would be before, [IF] we see another unit. It could be weeks, months, hell years even.
