What you are invited to is, presumably, the last human act. You will wonder about the plausibility of a document drawn up and of the ones who benefit from it. Be lenient and leave the weight of the answers to time. Haste has crowded our reason as a dense, suffocating and stupefying fog. The black cosmic curtain opens up in the austere void of a shuttle drifting between Saturn and Enceladus. Inside, the mellow recorded voice of Sagan flows through the on-board instrumentation. Let's say you're experiencing something terribly distressing. Would you really like to listen, at regular intervals, to the arid alarm signal to remind you that oxygen supply is running out? This is what Adam must have thought, now leaning on his back against a cold wall in the observation module. His legs outstretched, in his mind angry echoes, to remind him of his shape, make room through the hypothesis of being able to extract oxygen from the water present on the sixth Saturnian moon, so he was told. Anger that blinds, turbid existence, damned impotence, frustrating oblivion, the breath becomes short, more and more feeble, even more, eyes like two sickles. The profiles of Mimas, Prometheus and Atlas blurred, more and more. The stars in the background now light up, almost on fire, now buzzing, now they speak, no, they sing an ancient lullaby:
"Run and run, ascending from the Earth, Tourning round around the Moon, Warming up for the Sun Jumpin 'over Saturn "
What if the end was a sweet hallucinating cradle?
