The probe was, to be honest, a ramshackle collection of spare parts and repurposed sensors. They weren't about to waste too much money on something that was intended to be jettisoned into a black hole. The few microseconds of data it would send back before it was crushed would, it was hoped, give some insight into what was going on inside one of the last mysteries of the universe.
It went in with not too many people paying attention. When it started transmitting minutes, hours of data, people took notice.
And then really wished they hadn't, when the nightmares started.
