We start with Soul

Spirit comes next

Mental acuity is required

To put the Elements to rest

The Celestial counters Infernal

While Gravity fights Space

Look how the Time has flown

Now the Soul returns to its place

The Founders, a long-dead or ascendant race created a system to hold back Entropy. They thought they'd planned for every eventuality, every possible scenario. They thought that they could change their ultimate destiny.

Of course, others would come along. Of course, others would try to subvert their work and claim it for their purpose. Of course, Fate would put the unluckiest individual in the Multiverse on a collision course with those forces. Or perhaps the luckiest, depending on one's point of view. Regardless, Anton's involvement changes the equation, and himself in ways that mortals were never meant to exist.

Who is Anton, Just a nobody, fleeing a bad relationship from Fargo North Dakota who happens to be on a Scientific Research vessel when they make an earth-shattering discovery that changes the world, and himself, forever!
