"...even though ancient civilizations have documented sudden earth changes in the past, isn't it possible that Sedna is too small to be considered dangerous?" asked Cardinal Bertone.
"There's no doubt the brown dwarf will draw Sedna closely to the solar system, the proximity will affect the earth's geomagnetic spin, stability and rotation. Some may call this dangerous, your excellence."
The project manager begrudged his assignment for the papal commission. He didn't want to cross Cardinal Bertone, known for his short fuse and direct access to the throne of St. Peter.
The Vatican scientists and staff concluded that the brown dwarf was causing the strange orbit of the ice planet, Sedna. They had paid dearly for the cloned classified software programs and the dedicated feed from JPL, but it was the Vatican’s top-secret quantum computer that cost the most.
After acquiring the plans through Pentagon contacts they engaged several Chinese firms each building a separate part of the prototype. They called it the St. Mary’s project. The system tracked orbital velocity period calculations, reconstruction, simulation and analysis.
The proprietary software and hardware also filtered out current space debris and had a view of galaxies three hundred times more powerful than Hubble. The array that located the brown dwarf hidden behind the sun was based on cuneiform symbols found in Sumerian and Babylonian scriptures.
The main program used advanced transform analysis, differential equations. Certain routines used ELS coding similar to the ones used for analyzing other projects. Many different ancient traditions implicated that the Torah was dictated to Moses letter by letter by a supernatural or alien being.
According to the program output - God must have helped the Sumerians perform the same miracle.
"…and this brown dwarf was never closer than 1000UA from the sun and that is why it was undetectable until now, the program has allowed us to find it. We have directed the telescope to the location, if your holiness will look into the monitor..."
The Pontiff excused the entire staff from the room except for Cardinal Bertone. He sighed audibly as he was wheeled slowly towards the special display unit, built for the aging pontiff.
“Dio in cielo è bello al di là di tutte le parole,"
...mused the aging Pontiff in reference to God and the beauty of the heavens.
His stooped posture moved slowly forward in the plush chair to gaze at the heavens through the fifty-inch display. He stared in awe at the beauty that was God's canvas.
"There is one other problem, your Immanence; our protected feed has been compromised. One of our men in the States is building a dosssier on a Professor Tong, it should be available soon." the Cardinal whispered.
"Our mandate's to protect the Church and this must be so. It is for the good of all and not just one man that we live and serve. Handle it you will, but keep the best interest of the Church foremost at all times."
His muted reply left him drained and he felt the weight of the world on his aging shoulders. It seemed like the weight just got a little heavier...
