This is a SKYSHOCK ALERT.
Multiple distributed ISR assets report a TRANSIENT NEAR EXTRASOLAR EVENT. Event duration ZERO POINT THREE SECONDS. Event footprint includes sterile neutrino scattering and gravity waves. Omnibus analysis detects deep structure information content (nine sigma) and internal teleonomy.
No hypothesis on event mechanism (FLAG ACAUSAL). Bootstrap simulation suggests event is DIRECTED and INIMICABLE (convergent q-Bayes/Monte Carlo probability approaches 1).
No hypothesis on deep structure encoding (TCC/NP-HARD).
Source blueshift suggests IMMINENT SOLAR ENTRY.
Promote event to SKYSHOCK: OCP: EXTINCTION. Activate VOLUSPA. Activate YUGA. Cauterize public sources to SECURE ISIS and harden for defensive action.
I am invoking CARRHAE WHITE and assuming control of solar defenses.

I will now try to translate into simpler terms what I think the grimoire is saying.
Warmind ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance) assets detected a brief (transient) event that occurred outside of (extrasolar) our solar system. The event lasted 0.3 seconds. The aftermath readings suggest scattering neutrinos and gravity waves. (Neutrinos and gravity waves are related to supernova explosions and core collapses of stars, by the way). A statistical (omnibus) analysis was run to determine the supposed nature of the event, in order to determine its purpose.
It is unclear what caused the event. It seems to be both directed and hostile.
Entry to the solar system is imminent.
Event is cateogrize as an extinction event. Protocols YUGA and VOLUSPA are activated.
[spoiler]EACH of the four Yugas, as described by the ancient Hindu sages, has a correspondence with one of the four powers of Maya, the [b][u]darkness[/u][/b] of Illusion that hides from man his Divine nature.
Each Yuga brings to mankind in general an opportunity to control and understand one of these universal powers.
The four Illusions, Avidyas, of Maya, counting from the grossest to the most subtle, are:
Atomic form, Patra or Anu, the world of gross material manifestation, wherein the One Substance appears as innumerable objects
Space, Desh, whereby the idea of division is produced in the Ever-Indivisible
Time, Kal, whereby the mind conceives of change in the Ever-Unchangeable
Vibration, Aum, the universal creative force which obscures our realization of the Ever-Uncreated
Furthermore....
If this fourth and last sheath of Maya is thus removed, in the [b][u]Golden Age[/u][/b], from the eyes of the perfected man, he passes on to the fifth sphere. In this state, freed from the four Illusions, he is called Brahman, knower of the Creator, Brahma, the spiritual light and only Real Substance of the universe.
Regarding VOLUSPA (wikipedia):
Völuspá (Old Norse Vǫluspá, Prophecy of the Völva (Seeress); Modern Icelandic [ˈvœːlʏˌspauː], reconstructed Old Norse [ˈwɔluˌspɑː]) is the first and best known poem of the Poetic Edda. It tells the story of the creation of the world and its coming end related by a völva addressing Odin.
[quote]The Æsir then established order in the cosmos by finding places for the sun, the moon and the stars, thereby starting the cycle of day and night. A golden age ensued where the Æsir had plenty of gold and happily constructed temples and made tools. But then three mighty giant maidens came from Jötunheimr and the golden age came to an end. The Æsir then created the dwarves, of whom Mótsognir and Durinn are the mightiest.[/quote]
[/spoiler]
ISIS platform is secured and hardened (ISIS may stand for Integrated Strike and Interceptor System).
The Warmind invokes Carrahae White and takes control of solar defenses.
[spoiler]Regarding Carrahae (from wikipedia): The Battle of Carrhae was fought in 53 BC between the Parthian Empire and the Roman Republic near the town of Carrhae. The Parthian Spahbod ("General") Surena decisively defeated a numerically superior Roman invasion force under the command of Marcus Licinius Crassus. It is commonly seen as one of the earliest and most important battles between the Roman and Parthian empires and one of the most crushing defeats in Roman history.
Crassus, a member of the First Triumvirate and the wealthiest man in Rome, had been enticed by the prospect of military glory and riches and decided to invade Parthia without the official consent of the Senate. Rejecting an offer from the Armenian King Artavasdes II to allow Crassus to invade Parthia via Armenia, Crassus marched his army directly through the deserts of Mesopotamia. His army clashed with Surena's force near Carrhae, a small town in modern-day Turkey. Despite being heavily outnumbered, Surena's cavalry completely outmaneuvered the Roman heavy infantry, killing or capturing most of the Roman soldiers. Crassus himself was killed when truce negotiations turned violent. His death led to the end of the First Triumvirate and the resulting civil wars between Julius Caesar and Pompey.[/spoiler]
Anyway I just wanted to help decode that for some others who might be more interested in the lore like I am.
It is only clear that an event, resembling a supernova explosion occurred right outside our solar system and caused the mass near extinction of humanity, and that a warmind (Rasputin) assumed control of all defense platforms. There are key references made in the grimoire, which are explained in the spoilers below the accompanying paragraphs.
If you have any input please let me know, or what your theories are.

Thank you for simplifying that for me; I read the Grimoire multiple times and even looked up the meaning of some of the terms used, and I was still confused. This has only made me more curious though. If this event happened right outside our solar system, just the aftermath resembling a supernova, The Darkness must be exceptionally powerful. I wonder if the event caused the mass near extinction directly or if maybe something else happened. I really want to know what the "Collapse" was and what exactly happened because I feel as if it was brought on by humanity and The Darkness was simply a beginning of that end. I don't think the Hive even understand the Darkness, which is kind of scary.
