Situation Report

The Tesseract appeared in our skies six days ago, over the exact magnetic north of the planet. It was the size of a city block. Since that time it has been condensing, collapsing upon itself. It can now fit into the palm of your hand.

Together, our world's best minds will either find a way to contain and control the reactions of this alien artifact, or its exponentially increasing destructive power will remove our planet from existence, reconfiguring our space/ time to the extra-dimensional needs of its creators.

Are we intelligent enough to shut down the Tesseract, or is humankind simply a blip in the grand scheme of the universe? Time will tell.
