Entropy:
From thefreedictionary.com
1. Symbol S For a closed thermodynamic system, a quantitative measure of the amount of thermal energy not available to do work.
2. A measure of the disorder or randomness in a closed system.
3. A measure of the loss of information in a transmitted message.
4. The tendency for all matter and energy in the universe to evolve toward a state of inert uniformity.
5. Inevitable and steady deterioration of a system or society.
The Key of Knowledge was able to see past the veil of time, to see the forces that had acted for and against humanity over the millennia. It could sense intent, see patterns in the manipulations where the various races visiting Earth that were decidedly not human were affecting the lives of the planet’s residents, almost exclusively without their knowledge.
Pan was now able to see all the Key did. Though time manipulation was for now beyond his means, time visibility was not. And the one advantage to seeing time was that those who acted against humanity would be unable to move against him.
But they would try.
For Pan the Key would be what he called a wake-up call. Never again would he allow his naiveté to threaten mankind.
He was determined that the Key would be his tool to save the planet. He was determined to never sit back again until the clandestine threats were gone.
He was determined.
And the fire that the Key felt in its bearer was only building. Soon that fire would explode.

The Sirian World Ship was massive.
Over fifty kilometers long, and three kilometers across, with hundreds of thousands of windows and protuberances along it’s length. This far from the sun it was in almost total darkness, a virtually invisible ship carrying two hundred thousand souls. A needle in space, visible only because it was white, whether by paint or material, unknown, but it would catch what little light there was available.
In ten years the World Ship would arrive at Earth.
Jessica marveled at it from her bubble of space, holding hands with John as they had decided to give them a visit.
Enough light was cast from the ship itself to help illuminate the shape, the contours. Though tube shaped in general, it looked nothing less than like hundreds of massive white tree roots intertwined in random yet organized chaos. It was breathtaking in its complexity.
From their vantage point they could see incredible detail on the surface, watching as the ship slowly spun along its axis to create artificial gravity. It was intricate, patterns that defied explanation, curves and lines flowing into each other in seemingly infinite variation. They could see windows, irregularly spaced, and in many of them they could see movement.
It would appear they were being watched.
That was on purpose. They wanted the Sirians to know they weren’t a threat, and the only way they could think to do that was to appear as themselves in easy sight.
They hovered, taking in the spectacle for a moment longer, then decided to jump inside the ship.
For the second time that she could remember, Jessica’s breath was completely taken away. If the scale of it from the outside was impressive, the sight of it on the inside was incredible.
It was like the surface of a planet, wrapped inside a tube. Lakes, fields, grasses, trees, rivers, every inch of the interior was like some kind of massive park. Along the center of the tube ran a pinpoint source of light, like the sun being drawn out in a single line, providing life to everything on the inside surface.
The rotation of the ship provided a form of artificial gravity, and Jessica noted that it was quite a bit less than Earth gravity.
Her reverie was interrupted by the sight of four beings walking towards them. Two males and two females, apparently, human looking except they were much taller, at least twelve feet tall she estimated. Long blonde hair, blue eyed, but otherwise human, wearing colorful flowing robes that were tight at the
