AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a fictional narrative involving dark matter beings that feed on dark energy and eventually create their own universes. These beings have largely ignored life in uncomfortable "hot spots" but become intrigued by an artifact labeled "Voyage One" from a nearby star. This leads to an encounter that results in an intergalactic incident, referred to as "road kill." The narrative includes a ship's psychic sensing something amiss, although the crew remains oblivious. The conversation shifts to the nature of the story, with participants debating the presence of people on the bridge of Voyager One and the grammar of the original post. Ultimately, there is skepticism about Voyager One's ability to leave the Milky Way, with a suggestion to focus on writing a story about intergalactic exploration.

It's here so the dark matter "being" can feed on dark energy and grow up. When they achieve a more advanced state they move on to create their own universes, where their offspring can grow up. So far they've ignored life around the "hot spots", the climate there is too uncomfortable for them.

But one day one of them notice an artifact emerging from the hot zone around one star a few galaxies over. If it could read it would see "Voyage One" on the side. Intrigued, it moves over to chat...

... and Voyage One creates another intergalactic road kill.

No one on the bridge notices anything. The ships psychic/crazy "feels that something is not right" but can not properly explain to the ship's doctor.

No. Just write a story about first voyage to inter-galactic space.

I doubt Voyager One is going to make it out of the milky way.

I didn't say it would.
