existence as most biological entities begin life – as primordial sludge percolating up from ancient hot springs. These simple life forms coalesced into more advanced life forms.
     
    After millions of years of evolution and numerous diebacks of living species on their planet, the Entities became the stronger and more advanced species. They had an unexpected jump in evolution from another dying race more advanced than their own. The advanced species also helped the Entities develop technologies and taught them about the mysteries of the Universe. This jump in knowledge occurred 1.8 million years ago and since that time the Entities have become the most powerful and advanced beings in the Universe.
     
    In the beginning, their species consisted of several social cultures, each with completely opposing ideologies. They hated one another and there were devastating wars throughout the years. They eventually found that war was not the answer and began to work together for the betterment of their species. Eventually there was peace, and war became only a painful memory.
     
    As they evolved, their social structure simply consisted of a leader and several sub-leaders responsible for different geographical areas on their planet. Each section was responsible for providing specific types of resources to all other sections. Each section had a population of approximately 300 million and their planet had 6 sections, a population of approximately 1.8 billion Entities, a rather small population compared to other races on other planets, however, their brilliance and advanced technologies made up for their small population, in fact all other known races on other planets in the Galaxy paled in comparison.
     
    There are about 20 other known inhabited planets within 600 light years of the Entities planet, each at different levels of advancement. The Entities maintain a peaceful relationship with all other advanced life forms and they are reluctant to provide advanced technology to other species. In the past, their gifts of advanced technology eventually destroyed those who were unable to handle it in a positive manner.
     
    Adam paused the device and looked at Jen; “Are you doing okay?” She looked at him with an un-believing look in her eyes and nodded her head up and down. He activated the device again and started the holographic portrait of the Entities.
     
    At the same time, Reynolds was in communication with his superiors. They were plotting a devious scheme to get the device from Adam.
     
    Again, Adam and Jen are presented with breathtaking holographic images. With a wave of their hands, the images rotate so they can observe them at different angles.
     
    They were awestruck by what they were seeing. The images were so vibrant and real...
     
    The Entities have developed a brain that consists of essentially four smaller brains; each of the four sections has a capacity and processing power of about one-thousand human brains working at full capacity. Looking at their brain one would see a highly advanced collection of closely packed neuron cells fused together by superconducting helium plasma and excited by a neutrino power source the size of an atom that will last... forever.
     
    This powerful brain has the ability to perform tasks that would seem anything short of a miracle to other less advanced species. However, the Entities accepted this as a normal part of their existence. With the aid of a plasmatic Orbotic robot the Entities invented, they are capably of completing any task with efficiency; there are no limitations to their mental abilities.
     
    Their four brains connect to a host brain or a memory repository by super conscious telepathy. A memory repository is a collection of over a billion brain energies which, among millions of other feats, allow the Entities to instantaneously travel anywhere in the universe.
     
    Their craniums that house this magnificent brain-cluster are a marvel of technology. They don’t have eyes,
