The Silence

The Silence is the name given to the extra-dimensional being that we know as nullspace. It is an O8 intellect and exists in every universe in all time as the same being. It is intelligent and hostile, actively trying to breach into our reality for unknown reasons. The Silence was temporarily pushed back into nullspace after The Silent War (The Null War).

As it is impossible to fully observe and understand The Silence, most of this information is speculation gathered from other high OI individuals and compiled into a comprehensive list.

The leading theory on the existence and nature of The Silence is that it was imprisoned in the form we know as nullspace to prevent it from manifesting in reality. Nullspace, while observed to be empty, may contain particles that are infinitely apart from each other. These particles may be the true form of The Silence, and a breach into reality may allow it to re-form into a cohesive being.

This form of imprisonment would require technology far beyond our comprehension as it would require the ability to create dimensions as well as generate infinite negative pressure. A civilization or intellect capable of doing this should be readily visible from the amount of energy required, but no such entity has been observed. This entity may also exist above our plane of understanding. An O8 or O9 level intellect may be able to perceive it.
