On an unknown planet in the universe.
It was dark and barren, with nothing but rock.
The planet was so far from its Fixed Star that almost no sunlight reached it, and its temperature stayed below minus two hundred degrees year-round.
Yet cells capable of life still survived beneath its ice.
If that Fixed Star had not aged billions of years from now, life might one day flourish on the planet.
But just then, a small Spaceship appeared nearby and descended toward it.
It was the only Spaceship Thanos had brought to the E39537 Universe.
Three days earlier, upon learning that the Time Stone was about to take shape, Thanos had ordered his fleet to head for other planets.
He was worried his Spaceship would get caught in the battle.
Losing a small Spaceship would not matter much. Losing the star charts it had gathered of this universe, along with its Quantum Realm teleportation device, would be a serious blow.
The ship was still in the Milky Way, but it was now on an unknown planet hundreds of light-years from Blue Star.
Soon, the Spaceship landed on the nameless planet and flew above a sheet of ice.
A huge, long pipe extended from it, plunged into the ice, and began drawing up ice.
Thanos then appeared inside the Spaceship with Female Adam and Captain Marvel.
Female Adam still sat cross-legged, holding the Eye of Agamotto in both hands. Green light flickered inside it.
It seemed the Time Stone was taking shape within the artifact.
Captain Marvel looked around curiously.
This was not her first time aboard a spacecraft, but she had never seen one built in this style.
Before long, an Executive of the Black Order approached.
"My lord, we're extracting ice from this nameless planet to fuel the ship."
