Intergalactic Summit

A Khanid man on the planet Afnakat X recently claimed to have discovered a Bottomless Pit in his back garden, while planting vegetables for the coming season.

The Bottomless Pit appears in several Khanid theophilosophical works, as a metaphor for punishment of sinners, and the discovery of what appears to be the Pit amazed several local theologians.

"I have long thought that the Bottomless Pit may have a physical reality to it, perhaps some form of wormhole or other spatial distortion", said one local Afnakatian priest.
"The reality of the Pit has profound implications for all of Khanid theology", said another.
"A series of wormholes that opened and swallowed nearby persons is a somewhat plausible theory", said another local priest.
"The Bottomless Pit could quite possibly be some strange astronomical occurrence, not limited to the conventional three dimensions, it does not need to have just one mouth", said a local astrocartographer.

The discoverer of the Pit disappeared shortly after announcing the discovery, with some suggesting they fell in while attempting to take a self-portrait.

Other local residents expressed concern about the possible danger of the pit, saying it should be fenced off.

"Children and slaves routinely drown in neighbours swimming pools, this Pit is a magnitude more dangerous", said one local concerned mother.
"When he said he had found the Bottomless Pit, I said to him, so I did, I said 'pull the other one, it has bells on', and now the silly fool has gone and fallen in, so he has", said a local flower arranger.
"We shone a light down the hole, could not see the bottom. Then we dropped a few pebbles, didn't hear them hit anything. If it's not bottomless, it's very deep", said a local geologist.

Local officials said that King Khanid II has been informed of the existence of the pit, but they have not yet received any instructions on what to do.

Gutter Press will continue to look into this, and other stories.

Down with this sort of thing...... hmm.

I have long spoken of the Pit, sometimes naming it as such, other times calling it Abaddon, the Pit of Destruction. And ever am I mocked — called heretic or madman for believing such things not only exist, but exist materially.

Now I stand totally vindicated. Fear God, sinners. The Pit awaits for you. Amen. Amarr Victor.

I know a drop user when I see one!

We are not desecrating the Bottomless Pit by using it as a toxic waste disposal.

What we ought to do is build a large park and picnic area around the pit, and then have monthly family events where we toss sinners into it.
