CONSCIOUS GRAVITY - VISHNU PASUPATHY

Seventeen space pods, each with the word ‘Hope’ embossed on their hulls were drifting with a certain ethereality in an illusion of vast emptiness. They were cast together to form a pyramid. It was like a cold star that would never shine.Orbiting it were three white dwarfs.
The three could afford to stay powered. Even to do so, they needed gravity, strong enough to hold them together in one place. A place that could never be plotted in any man’s imagination.
The little remnants of plasmid fuel left on board Hope-17 were used to run the particle accelerator and breed some of the heaviest elements known to mankind. The seventeen pods were filled to the brim with these dense elements, so that they could become a little planet that the three moons could orbit. This would ensure that they stay together even if they got hauled by some distant helium giant.
The pod pyramid was the only solution to Mikzo’s biggest fear; waking up to find her pod isolated in some maddening void and perceive that the only non scientific bonds she shared had drifted millions of miles away in space and time. Zevil and Ana occupied the other pods.
Mikzo had led them away from cataclysm at the cost of eternal excruciating guilt.

For six continuous years, she had investigated and pondered over what she believed would yield answers to her tenebrous obscure state of being. Hope had mystified her & it was too late to avert what the Large Hadron collider was about to reveal, the very eventuality that the founder of CERN had purposefully averted ingeniously during its inception.
Twenty years hence, a new team had anticipated everything. Did the world want to witness the effects of the Naked Singularity? That was out of the question. The mission was almost running inside a black hole, a place no human could fantasize. Findings from the LHD had empowered CERN with technology that could completely camouflage its identity and generate a false realm of knowledge for the rest of the world. Even the precocious Israelis had not known what was afoot.
It was in this dire situation that Mikzo persuaded her fellows to make the penultimate escape from Earth. The decision was hard but it needed to be quick. Loved ones were taken along.Twenty pods equipped with close to infinite life supplies shot out of the Alps with remarkable stealth.
The pods were eEscaping the vicinities of a familiar environment, where the material manifestation of space and time seemed suddenly limited. It was all going in, into the naked singularity that would disintegrate the nature and habitat of planetary life forms. CERN was digging a nebulous trap; a burrow mankind would not climb out of.

The singularity manifested, taking with it the entire mass of the planet. At least that’s what Hope 20 observed a few light years away.
Initially Mikzo had hoped that the planet might have slipped into a worm hole and reincarnated itself in another part of the universe. She hoped that the electron blast from the collision would have ionized all the harmful gases and made her home a better place to live.

Hope 20 loses incentive and her members turn fatalistic. Lack of purpose forces them to surrender consciousness.

The three survivors had been saturated with guilt for the past three years till this morning. Radio waves had interrupted their nightmares. The waves instantly triggered cyan aurorae in their minds.
A peculiar cyan that evoked the one word that their pods bellowed from deep outside. Was the wait eventually worth it? Mikzo could only get speculative. Enough to drive her into a new orbit of insanity.
Keeping her focus was paramount. The three sat down to decipher the signal. It was still striking H-17 like an invisible beacon of hope. Zevil tried converting it into all possible outputs. There was an embedded rhythm that resonated the human essence.
Mikzo strived for consciousness. Gravity prevailed.


What remained was what they were called.

It’s a good story but you have to handle your language more carefully and work out the plot. If Mikzo is the protagonist then what is her main problem? I wuld like you to plot this carefully and take it forward. The ending is vague.
