[@Navy89SEALs]

Something tells me that the humans in this story bubbled themselves mainly because they got sick of being viewed as gods. And if the religious groups made enough "noise" to draw them out again, they would probably come out screaming, "STOP WORSHIPPING US, YOU TWATS!!!"

[@alexistaylor969]

More than likely it was because they Advanced too far with their tech tree and when they uplifted civilizations they went too far thinking the tech was low tier and the race destroyed themselves. Probably retreated to work on their own tech until the uplifted civilizations were ready to bypass the "void" on their own as a test. Only then would they interact with other civilizations. Like now the other civilizations have religions arguing with scientists and they are starting "Holy Wars". They know they are just an Advance rave yet they deify them anyway, proving they are not ready. If not for a genocide right on the border they probably wouldn't have left the void to help.

[@citizen_grub4171]

I always enjoy stories featuring humans as a precursor species, especially seeing as how at the moment it actually seems like the most likely possibility.

[@aj_the_infamous1013]

its scary looking into the void and wondering if you are alone in the universe. its scarier and more stressful to realize that you are indeed the only sentient life in the universe. that is why people are hopeful that there is life out there beyond us

[@citizen_grub4171]

@@aj_the_infamous1013 I mean, we don't know if we are or aren't. We know that we can't *detect* other intelligent life, but that doesn't mean much. It *could be* because we're the only ones, yes. But it could just as easily be that light from them hasn't reached us yet.

Thats what i was thinking until the humans were described it made me think of Halo and how the ODST drop pods look and work

[@dantreadwell7421]

Eh, the difference between a 40k Space Marine and a Spartan is really only one of semantics, given the differences between universes.

[@jacobfoss7783]

@@dantreadwell7421 Spartans are more surgical while Space Marines are more of a sledgehammer, and aren't nearly as impressive as a Spartan.

[@dantreadwell7421]

@@jacobfoss7783 yes, but in the HALO universe, a 40k marine would be massive overkill, whereas the other way round, a SPARTAN would probably be on par with some of the Imperial Guard special forces units. It really is due the difference between settings. They both have the same role.

This makes me remember an article many, many years ago (maybe the 60's or 70's in Analog Science Fiction/ Science Fact magazine (Not sure this is the full title, I know the Analog part is right) It showed that our sun is probably one of the oldest if not the oldest in our region, and that We might be the Older Benevolent Civilization that Sci Fi always mentions. Depressing isn't it?

[@richardstanek5549]

Agro Squerril thank you for the narration and please pass on to the writer that I really enjoyed this story. To the Humans, "Our watch has not ended" . . . .

[@AgroSquerril]

glad you enjoyed

[@lornbaker1083]

I like this. We realized we where too close to the hubris of thinking we where gods wirh our good intentions it was about to go wrong, so we stopped trying. We never however stopped watching what we had created, like our legends said the gods of old did for us. But unlike our gods. We did eventually answer those prayers of "our children". This is like warhammer 70k. After wiping out all the terrible horrible things in the galaxy, We had the time and peace to research everything to make Humanity become gods. and Sort of as a cross between the old ones and necrons. We let the galaxy repopulate with new life. But we stay around in the darkness between stars. Ever watching. Stepping to protect, when truely needed.

[@kalel4677]

Little does the rest of the galaxy know, they are only waiting in the void until Legends of the Dragoon 2 comes out, then they will come back.

I can relate to the main character in this story because I can point to at least 8 times in my life that there’s no reasonable explanation for why I lived let alone didn’t suffer injury except for divine intervention and lots of people have told me that it’s because god has a plan for me. Only problem is, if he does he sure as hell hasn’t shared it with me. I’m not religious although I do believe in god, I just don’t believe in formalized church/religion. To me a relationship with god is a personal one that shouldn’t be defined by anyone except you and god. God is God. Churches and religion are made by men, two totally different things.
