The screen shimmers and waves, unfocussed, like moonlight reflecting off the surface of waves. Suddenly, a harsh shrieking sound, and the image snaps to clarity. The figures of Earth and Y stand before you.

Earth: We greet you, Elizabeth Tate.
Y: Together we are the voice of Forever.
There is a slight pause. You could swear that the lights flare up, ever so slightly, but then the effect disappears as if it was never there.
Earth: Forever has reached a consensus.
Y: We are in agreement to the terms of your compact.
Earth: Be enlightened by the darkness, Elizabeth Tate.

Like tongues of flame falling from the heavens, patches of bright light flash upon the screen until nought is left but static.
