The scope includes creative storytelling and speculative ideas rather than established scientific theories.

  • Another participant humorously comments on the fate of "Voyage One," implying it encounters an unfortunate event in intergalactic space.
  • There is a question raised about the presence of people on the bridge of Voyager One, indicating a misunderstanding or miscommunication regarding the original post.
  • A participant reflects on the need to clarify the original post's wording, humorously referencing "grammar Klingons."
  • Another participant expresses skepticism about Voyager One's ability to leave the Milky Way, suggesting a limitation in the narrative's premise.

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.

I'll have to answer to the grammar Klingons for that one, won't I?

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.
