The Cosmic Council's chamber existed in the space between spaces, suspended in a void that predated the concept of location.

Where his attention focused, reality solidified into rigid mathematical perfection. "Seven million consciousness patterns simultaneously achieving transcendence. The probability matrices are collapsing."
