The Peacekeeper research ship finally found the specific point in space where black matter, gravity, energy and time all met the pinpoint criteria which the scientists demanded in order to make the new weapon function.
Ensuring that the area for 150,000 metras in every direction was empty of ships they began to feed the entire power output of the massive research vessel into the weapon. Before their screens the elated staff could see the beginning of a subspace rift forming. Cheers began to echo through the control room, but suddenly one station after another began shrilling alarms as the experiment went hideously wrong.
Shouts of "Frell" and "Dren" and cries of confusion filled the room as the Subspace Tear began expanding out of control, consuming and destroying all energy and matter in every direction around the ship, but leaving the power source itself alone. Before anyone could react, all planets, all stars, all matter in the universe was engulfed by subspace ... nothingness.
And so the universe was destroyed because a single tear frelled.
