Chapter 4: ISS File: The Erasure of Universe-Theta Prime



ISS File: The Erasure of Universe-Theta Prime

File ID: MSC-010-X

Date of Entry: [Standard Galactic Time: 12/20/4103]

Reported by: Dr. Elias Varesh

Reviewed by: Dr. Vance "Wildcard" Helbram

Incident Summary

At exactly 00:00:01 Galactic Standard Time on [12/19/4103], Universe-Theta Prime ceased to exist.

Not collapsed. Not consumed by entropy. Erased.

All records, all spatial signatures, all historical imprints of Theta Prime vanished simultaneously across every known database in the ISS. Not a single archive—physical, digital, or metaphysical—bears any trace of its existence. The Tree of Life, the universal mechanism that records the birth and death of all things within the infinite multiverse, no longer recognizes that Theta Prime ever was.

The only remaining reference to its existence comes from a single anomalous document recovered by the MSC (Multiversal Stability Council), which recorded the following observation before the file corrupted itself:

"The universe was flattened into a script, its essence bound to ink. The Faceless Detective took an eraser, pressed it to reality, and rubbed it away. And with that, the case was closed."

This event is now classified under Universal Eradication-Level Event [MSC-010-X], the first recorded case of absolute multiversal deletion.

Dr. Varesh and Dr. Helbram – Emergency Debriefing

[Location: ISS Deep Archives – Redacted Chamber]

Dr. Varesh: [Pacing, running a hand through his hair] This shouldn't be possible. Even multiversal entropy leaves behind echoes, residual traces of existence. This—this—is something else.

Dr. Helbram: [Leaning back in his chair, spinning a pen between his fingers] It's poetic, in a way. The universe got written out of the story. And we didn't even get an epilogue.

Dr. Varesh: You're making jokes again? Helbram, a universe is gone. The Tree of Life—the foundation of our multiverse—can't even recall it. That's not entropy. That's not destruction. That's narrative erasure.

Dr. Helbram: [Tapping the pen against his chin] Which means what, exactly?

Dr. Varesh: [Slamming a document onto the table] It means that the Faceless Detective isn't just rearranging fate. He's editing existence.

Dr. Helbram: [Snorting] So, what, he's the author of reality now?

Dr. Varesh: I don't know. And that's the problem.

Dr. Helbram: [Sighs, rubbing his temples] Look, I get it. Guy's bad news. He's been a problem since Day One. But let's step back for a second—why did he erase Theta Prime?

Dr. Varesh: That's the other problem. No records. No surviving witnesses. We don't even know what was in that universe before it was erased. The only thing we have is that damn MSC note about a script and a rubber eraser.

Dr. Helbram: [Nodding] Right. Which means either that universe was so damn corrupt he decided to rewrite the whole thing…

Dr. Varesh: …Or something inside Theta Prime was so dangerous that erasing it was the only option.

[Silence.]

Final Observations

The Faceless Detective has now demonstrated an ability far beyond any known anomaly in ISS history. He has not merely disrupted timelines or altered fates—he has proven capable of fully removing a universe from multiversal memory.

The ISS has no way of predicting his next move. No method of counteracting him. No evidence of whether his actions are part of a greater plan or merely his own inscrutable sense of justice.

If he can erase a universe, what happens when he decides that the multiverse itself is a case that needs closing?

The ISS is issuing a Level-10 Directive: Absolute non-interference. All personnel are advised to act as if the Faceless Detective does not exist.

Because the moment he notices us—

We might be next.
