" I'm a NASA astronaut on TITAN , and We found SOMETHING TERRIBLE here !" Creepypasta

I've always dreamed of being the first the first to set foot on a new world the first to make a groundbreaking discovery the first to etch my name in the annals of space exploration but as I stand here on the Frozen surface of Titan Saturn's largest moon I realize that being first isn't always a blessing sometimes it's a curse my name is Dr arara Chen and I'm about to tell you why Humanity should have never come to Titan the year is 2,169 and Earth has changed we've spread across the solar system like an Unstoppable virus

colonizing Mars establishing outposts in the upper atmosphere of Venus and setting up research stations on Jupiter's moons but the outer planets Neptune Uranus and Saturn remained largely unexplored until now I remember the day they announced the Titan Mission I was in my lab on Mars analyzing data from the latest core samples when the news came through a joint Mission between the United Earth space agency and the Mars Colonial Union to explore Titan a dream come true I knew I had to be on that team that night I couldn't sleep the red martian landscape outside my

window seemed to pulse with possibility I pce my small quarters my mind racing with thoughts of Titan's methane Lakes its thick atmosphere its potential for harboring life as the first light of the Martian Dawn crept through my window I made my decision I would do whatever it took to be on that mission the selection process was grueling hundreds of the best scientists and astronauts from Earth and Mars all competing for just two spots days blurred into weeks as we underwent rigorous physical and psychological evaluations simulations and interviews I still remember the final interview the panel

of stern-faced officials sat before me their eyes scrutinizing every twitch every blink Dr Chen one of them began her voice crisp and cold why should we choose you for this Mission I took a deep breath steadying myself because Titan isn't just another moon to me it's the key to understanding our place in the universe I've dedicated my life to studying its potential for harboring life its unique atmospheric composition I don't just want to go to Titan I need to go it's not ambition driving me it's a calling the room fell silent I could hear my

heart pounding in my ears then a slight nod from the lead interviewer thank you Dr Chen we'll be in touch weeks past I threw myself into my work trying to distract myself from the Goring uncertainty then one ordinary Tuesday as I was calibrating a spectroscope my Comm unit buzzed a message from UA headquarters with trembling fingers I opened it congratulations Dr ala Chen you have been selected as the lead scientist for the Titan exploration Mission I collapsed into my chair a mix of elation and Terror washing over me I was going to Titan I was

going to be the first launch day came faster than expected the Spaceport was a hive of activity technicians swarming over the Sleek form of the Prometheus our state-of-the-art spacecraft as I approached the Launchpad I saw him for the first time in person Commander Jack Harper the other half of our two-person crew he was tall with a weather-beaten face that spoke of countless hours in the unforgiving vacuum of space his eyes a startling blue crinkled at the corners as he smiled and extended his hand Dr Chen I presume Jack Harper looking forward to our little road

trip I shook his hand noting the strength in his grip arara please and I wouldn't exactly call 18 months in deep space a little road trip he laughed a deep resonant sound that seemed to ease some of the tension in the air ah but where's your sense of adventure doc we're about to go where no one's gone before it'll be a walk in the park as we boarded the promethus I couldn't shake the feeling that his bravado was masking something a flicker of Doubt perhaps but there was no time to dwell on it we had

a mission to start the countdown began I strapped myself into my seat my heart racing Jack's voice came over the intercom steady and calm all right doc here we go see you on the other side the engines ignited with a roar That Shook the entire craft G forces pressed me back into my seat as we accelerated climbing higher and higher through the viewport I watched as the red martian landscape fell away replaced by the star studded Blackness of space as the shaking subsided and we settled into our trajectory a sense of finality washed over me

there was no going going back now at first Jack was easy to get along with always cracking jokes sharing stories about his previous missions our days fell into a routine system checks data analysis physical exercise to counteract the effects of zero gravity but as the weeks turned into months I noticed a change in him it started subtly he'd fall silent mid-sentence his gaze drifting to the viewport sometimes I'd find him floating in the observation Dome staring out at the vast emptiness of space his expression unreadable one night or what passed for night in the Eternal

darkness of space I found him there again he didn't seem to notice me at first his eyes fixed on the distant pin prick of light that was Saturn you okay Jack I asked my voice sounding unnaturally loud in the silence he turned to Me Slowly his eyes shadowed you ever wonder if we're meant to be out here Alara if maybe there are some places in the universe that should stay unexplored I tried to laugh it off but the sound came out forced come on Jack where's that sense of adventure you were talking about he didn't

smile adventure's one thing this this is something else sometimes I feel like we're not heading towards Titan we're heading towards something else something waiting for us a chill ran down my spine what do you mean he shook his head as if trying to clear it nothing forget I said anything just space Madness I guess he pushed off the wall floating towards the exit I'm going to try to get some sleep you should too doc big day tomorrow as he left I turned to look out at the stars they seemed colder somehow more distant and for

the first time since we'd left Mars I felt truly terrifyingly alone the incident marked a turning point in our journey the easy camaraderie we'd shared in the early months gave way to Long stretches of Silence Jack retreated into himself spending more and more time alone in his quarters when we did interact his responses were clipped his Smiles forced I tried to focus on my work running simulations of Titan's atmosphere analyzing the latest data from our long range sensors but the Silence of the ship pressed in on me broken only by the soft hum of the

life support systems and the occasional ping of incoming Transmissions from Earth One day about 14 months into our journey I decided I couldn't take it anymore I found Jack in the mess hall pushing his rehydrated food around his plate we need to talk I said sliding into the seat across from him he looked up his eyes wary about what about this this thing between us this silence Jack we're the only two people out here we can't keep going on like this he was quiet for a long moment then side you're right I'm sorry Alara it's

just the further we get from Earth the more I feel like we're heading into something we're not prepared for and the dreams dreams I leaned forward intrigued despite myself he nodded his eyes distant almost every night now I see Titan but it's wrong there are things there things that shouldn't exist and they're waiting for us I wanted to dismiss it as stress as the psychological strain of deep space travel but something in his voice in The Haunted look in his eyes made me pause tell me about the dreams I said said softly and as he

began to speak describing visions of ancient structures and lurking Horrors I felt a creeping dread settle Over Me Because deep down in a part of myself I'd been trying to ignore I realized I'd been having the same dreams too we landed on Titan with a bone jarring thud our descent barely controlled through the moon's dense atmosphere outside the viewport a yellow orange Haze clung to the landscape filtering the weak light of the distance as we touched down Jack let out a triumphant shout we did it DOC first humans on Titan I smiled but the moment

was tinged with unease there was something wrong about the place I could feel it in the Stillness of the air the way the orange Mist clung to the icy ground we suited up our protective gear designed to withstand Titan's extreme cold and toxic atmosphere I remember remember standing at the airlock staring out at the alien landscape my breath catching in my throat the surface was a Barren mix of water ice and rock its reddish brown Hue like dried blood in the distance the glassy surface of methane Lakes shimmered reflecting Saturn's ghostly Rings Jack went first

his boots crunching on The Frozen Ground I followed my heart pounding in my chest the air was thick with tension as if the very ground beneath us was holding its breath it's incredible I whispered my voice trembling as I took in the view the vast expanse of Titan stretched before us unbroken except for distant Jagged ice formations that pierced The Horizon Jack's voice crackled over the radio let's get to work we've got a lot to do the days blurred together in a haze of routine we collected samples conducted experiments transmitted data back to Earth but

the unease never left me sometimes while collecting soil samples I'd feel a faint Tremor beneath my feet when I asked Jack about it he'd shrug it off but I could see the tension in his shoulders the way his hand would unconsciously tighten on his sample collector one night after a particularly grueling day Jack and I sat in the habitat module eating rehydrated meals in silence Jack stared at the wall his eyes Hollow you know what they say about explorers arara he said suddenly his voice low I looked up from my meal what they say we're

the ones who push too far we go where we're not supposed to we open doors that should stay shut he chuckled Darkly maybe that's what we've done here I frowned unease prickling at the back of my neck you don't really believe that do you you jack didn't answer he just stared out the window his gaze distant as if he was searching for something in the Dark Void beyond that night I dreamed in my dream I stood on the surface of Titan but it was different the ice beneath my feet was translucent and through it I

could see movement vast shadowy forms shifting in the depths I tried to run but my feet were frozen in place and then slowly agonizingly the ice began to crack I woke with a start my heart racing in the dim light of the habitat I could see Jack sitting up in his bunk his eyes wide and staring you saw it too didn't you he whispered I nodded unable to speak because in that moment I knew we weren't alone on Titan and and whatever was here with us it knew we had arrived a week later we ventured

to the southwestern Ridge our Rover groaning as it crawled over the rugged terrain Jack pointed at a towering ice Spire in the distance its Jagged form reminiscent of Earth's Gothic Cathedrals reminds you of home doesn't it he said though his tone lacked the usual warmth I nodded though I could feel a chill that had nothing to do with the temperature as we continued on foot the Tremors ID felt before grew stronger Jack remained silent but I could see the tension in his movements we crested The Ridge and that's when we saw them monoliths tall dark

and ancient rising from The Frozen Ground like Sentinels their surfaces glinting under the distant Sun my heart froze they couldn't be natural they were too precise too deliberate someone or something had built them Jack I whispered fear seeping into my voice we're not alone here for a moment Jack said nothing then with a slow deliberate movement he sank to his knees and began to laugh it was a high pitched Hollow sound that chilled me to my core we were never alone arara he muttered between fits of laughter we just didn't know as the ground beneath

us trembled again again something enormous began to stir beneath the surface and this time it was no illusion the ice beneath our feet began to crack spider webbing outwards from the base of the nearest monolith a low resonant hum filled the air vibrating through our suits and setting my teeth on edge we need to get out of here I said grabbing Jack's arm now but Jack didn't move he stayed on his knees staring at the monoliths with a mixture of Terror and recognition don't you see arara he whispered this is what I've been dreaming about

this is what's been calling to us the humming grew louder and the ground began to Shake in Earnest in the distance I saw the methane Lakes start to churn their glassy surfaces disturbed by something rising from the depths Jack please I begged pulling at his arm we have to go finally he seemed to snap out of his trance he stumbled to his feet and together we ran back towards the Rover behind us the ice continued to crack and split the sound like a thousand gunshots in the thin Titan atmosphere we reached the Rover and I

threw myself into the driver's seat my hands shaking as I started the engine Jack collapsed into the passenger seat his breath coming in ragged gasps as I gunned the engine steering us away from the ridge I glanced in the rearview mirror what I saw made my blood run cold rising from the fractured ice towering over the monoliths was a vast otherworldly form it was like nothing I'd ever seen or imagined a writhing mass of tentacles and eyes its skin a shifting Kaleidoscope of colors that hurt to look at directly what is that thing I gasped

my voice barely audible over the Roar of the Rover's engine Jack's response was almost inaudible the titans of Titan the true rulers of this world and we've just woken them up as we raced back towards our habitat the sky above us began to darken not with clouds but with more of the creatures rising from the methane Lakes emerging from crevasses in the Ice Titan it seemed was coming alive around us and we were The Intruders we made it back to the habitat but we both knew it was only a temporary reprieve as I sealed the

airlock behind us my hands shaking so badly I could barely operate the controls Jack slumped against the wall his face Ashen beneath his face plate we need to contact Earth I said already moving towards the communication array we need to warn them it wonk matter Jack interrupted his voice Hollow don't you see Alara this is why we're here this is what they wanted all along I froze turning to face him slowly what are you talking about he laughed a broken sound that held no humor the dreams the Visions they weren't warnings arara they were instructions

Jack's words hung in the air heavy with implication I stared at him my mind reeling trying to process what he was saying instructions I repeated my voice barely above a whisper what do you mean instructions he looked at me his eyes haunted think about it arara the dreams the Visions they were too specific too consistent they weren't just random firing of neurons in deep space they were messages I shook my head denial Rising like bile in my throat number that's impossible we're scientists Jack we don't believe in in what he interrupted his voice sharp in

things beyond our understanding in forces we can't explain look outside arara tell me what you see out there can be explained by our science I turned to the viewport my eyes drawn to the chaos unfolding on Titan's surface the sky was alive with writhing forms their impossible geometries twisting in ways that hurt to look at directly the ground heaved and buckled methane geysers erupting in towering plumes that ignited in the the atmosphere casting an eerie flickering light over the landscape this isn't possible I whispered more to myself than to Jack and yet it's happening he

replied his voice flat we were sent here to wake them up arara we're not explorers we're harbingers I turned back to him anger flaring that's insane who would send us here for that why Jack laugh was bitter who knows maybe some shadowy government agency that's known about this all along maybe some cult that's been waiting for this moment for centuries does it matter we're here we did what we were supposed to do and now his voice trailed off and I saw his gaze drift to the airlock a chill ran down my spine as I realized

what he was thinking no I said firmly moving to block his path we're not giving up we're going to figure this out and we're going to stop it Jack's eyes met mine and for a moment I saw a flicker of the man I'd known during our journey then it was gone replaced by a resigned weariness stop it he echoed arara we're ants trying to stop a tsunami this is beyond us Beyond Humanity the best we can do now is he didn't finish the sentence but he didn't need to I could see it in his eyes

the best we could do in his mind was die die before whatever was happening outside reached us I took a deep breath stealing myself no I repeated my voice stronger now I didn't come all this way to give up we're scientists damn it we observe we analyze we understand that's what we're going to do now Jack stared at me for a long moment then nodded slowly all right he said his voice barely audible what's your plan I turned to our equipment my mind racing first we gather data all of it every sensor every reading every

scrap of information we can get then we analyze we figure out what's happening how it's happening and then and then Jack prompted I met his gaze determination burning in my chest and then we find a way to stop it we poured over data readouts analyzed atmospheric compositions studied seismic readings on the surface it all seemed like chaos wild fluctuations in temperature impossible atmospheric pressures gravitational anomalies that defied everything we knew about physics but as we dug deeper patterns began to emerge look at this I said pointing to a series of readouts these energy signatures they're

not random there's a pattern here a rhythm Jack leaned in his brow furrowed it's almost like a heartbeat he murmured I nodded excitement cutting through my fear exactly and look here I pulled up another set of data these gravitational fluctuations they're synchronized with the energy pulses so what does it mean Jack asked his voice tinged with a mix of curiosity and Dread I took a deep breath my mind racing to connect the dots I think I think what we're seeing isn't chaos it's a system a massive complex system that's just waking up Jack's eyes widened

the Titans he whispered I nodded slowly they're not separate entities they're part of something bigger something that encompasses this entire Moon Maybe maybe Titan itself is alive the implications of that statement hung in the air between us too vast and terrifying to fully comprehend but if that's true Jack said slowly then how do we stop it how do you kill a planet I shook my head we don't we can't but maybe maybe we can communicate with it Jack stared at me like I'd lost my mind communicate with that he gestured towards the viewport where the

sky was still alive with writhing impossible forms think about it I pressed on if this is a system then there must be a way to interact with it a way to input information to I trailed off a new thought striking me the monoliths I breathed what about them they're not just structures I said excitement buil buing in my voice they're terminals interfaces that's why they affected us so strongly when we approached them they were trying to connect with us Jack's expression was a mix of awe and Terror so what do we do go back out

there and what try to talk to them I nodded determination setting in exactly but first we need to figure out how to speak their language the next few days were a blur of feverish activity we barely slept subsisting on stems and protein bars as we worked to decipher the patterns we' discovered outside Titan continued its terrifying metamorphosis but we forced ourselves to focus on the data on The rhythms and pulses that seem to underly the chaos it's like music Jack murmured on the third day his eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep these patterns these rhythms

it's a symphony on a cosmic scale I nodded too exhausted to speak we'd been working on translating the energy signatures into audible frequencies and the result was Haunting ethereal tones that seem to resonate on a cellular level making the very air around us vibrate with potential but what's it saying I asked frustration creeping into my voice we can hear it but we can't understand it Jack was quiet for a long moment his gaze distant then slowly he turned to Me Maybe we're thinking about this wrong he said softly maybe it's not about understanding maybe it's

about feeling I frowned what do you mean he gestured to the readouts look at these patterns they're not just data they're emotions vast alen emotions but emotions nonetheless this Rising pattern here it feels like awaken and this one it's like curiosity I stared at him then back at the data and suddenly I saw it too the patterns weren't just rhythms or pulses they were expressions of something vast and ancient stirring after aons of Slumber oh my God I whispered we're not just witnessing The Awakening of Titan we're feeling it Jack nodded a glimmer of his

old excitement in his eyes and if we can feel it we can respond to it I finished my heart racing we worked for another day straight fine-tuning our makeshift translator it wasn't really translating in the traditional sense instead it was a device that could take our brain waves our emotions and convert them into the same kind of energy patterns we'd observed from Titan are you sure about this Jack asked as we suited up preparing to venture out to the monoliths again I met his gaze seeing my my own mix of Terror and determination reflected there

no I admitted but it's our only chance the journey to the monoliths was surreal the landscape of Titan had changed dramatically the once Frozen surface now a roiling sea of liquid methane and heaving ice the sky was alive with the writhing forms of the Titans their impossible geometries seeming to bend the very fabric of reality around them as we approach the nearest Mon I felt a familiar pressure building in my head but this time instead of fighting it I embraced it I activated our makeshift translator and open my mind the world exploded into sensation colors

I had no names for sounds that resonated in my bones emotions so vast and alien they threatened to overwhelm me I gasped staggering under the onslaught aara Jack's voice seemed to come from very very far away are you okay I couldn't respond I was lost in the torrent of sensation of alien thoughts and Cosmic emotions and then slowly I began to make sense of it curiosity that was the overwhelming feeling curiosity about us about why we were here about what we wanted with an effort that felt like it might tear me apart I focused my

thoughts I projected Ed images of Earth of humanity of our journey to Titan I tried to convey our own curiosity our desire for knowledge Our Hope for connection for a moment there was nothing then like a tidal wave came the response understanding recognition and something else something that felt like Amusement the pressure in my head increased and I fell to my knees dimly aware of Jack kneeling beside me his hand on my shoulder the world swam around me reality seeming to bend and warp and then as suddenly as it had begun it was over I

gasped ripping off my helmet and gulping in the toxic Titan air it should have killed me instantly but somehow I knew it wouldn't I turned to Jack seeing the same realization Dawning in his eyes we did it I whispered my voice sounding strange in the methane Rich atmosphere we communicated Jack nodded slowly his eyes wide with Wonder but what did we say what did they say back I laughed the sound bubbling up from some deep Primal place inside me they said welcome they said it's about time we showed up around us Titan continued to change

but now I understood it wasn't chaos it wasn't destruction it was transformation and we Humanity were part of it as we stood there breathing The Impossible air of an awakened world I realized that our journey hadn't ended it had only just begun years have passed since that fateful day on Titan Earth received our Transmissions our warnings our pleas for understanding for a while there was Panic fear of the unknown that had awakened in the outer reaches of our solar system but fear gave way to curiosity and curiosity to a New Age of Exploration Titan is

no longer a frozen distant moon it's a living world teeming with forms of life we're only beginning to understand the Titans those vast impossible beings we first encountered are not our enemies they're not even separate from us anymore we've learned to communicate to coexist exist to merge our Consciousness with the living essence of Titan itself Humanity has changed evolved in ways we never could have imagined we're no longer bound by the limitations of our fragile Earthly forms Jack and I we're still here in a sense our bodies are long gone but our Consciousness lives on

merged with the vast Cosmic awareness of Titan we've become part of something greater something that spans not just our solar system but reaches out to the Stars Beyond as I look back on that terrifying exhilarating moment when we first made contact I realized that my initial Dream came true but not in the way I expected I wanted to be the first the first to discover to understand to connect and in a way I was we were but being first wasn't a curse as I once feared it was a gift a gift that opened up the

Universe to humanity in ways we never could have imagined the titans of Titan weren't our Doom they were our destiny and as our merged Consciousness reaches out to the Stars I know that our greatest Adventures are still to come because out there in the vast Uncharted depths of space other Titans are waiting other worlds are dreaming and we'll be there to wake them up to join the cosmic dance that's been waiting for us since the beginning of time this is drar Chen signing off from Titan the next chapter of human history is about to begin

and it's going to be beautiful
