Where?

All his life Commodore Antoine Ciccerone had hungered to explore the farthrest reaches of interstellar space. Since the disappearance of his family as a youngster in a raid on his home planet by an unknown alien race, he had vainly sought to know the unknowable: Certain in his belief that somewhere beyond the next blue event horizon would lie the answers. When last he tight-beamed a message to Space Station U4B his message, the last thing to escape the gravity of the pinpoint black hole his one man ship approached, had stated, "Finally, I know." Today, Antoine Ciccerone Jr. graduates the Space Force Fleet training, majoring in Deep Space Exploration. Perhaps his new missions will answer the old questions.
