[ WP ] Giants casually stroll the universe , and the very best the rest of us can do is try to stay out from underfoot .

It was 2087 when humanity finally discovered the nature of Dark Matter. Heralded as `` The Great Discovery'', humanity soon after developed an incredible sense of unity, gave up on wars, and very quickly noped the fuck out of the solar system. 
 
 By the end of 2143, Sol ceased to exist. 
 
 Humanity spent the next few thousand years star-hopping, desperately scavenging asteroid belts and solar radiation to power their interstellar colony ships. 
 
 For the next few thousand years, `` The Great Discovery'', was right behind them, knocking out whole star systems, leaving irradiated nebulae in its wake. 
 
 It is now the year 10,741, and humanity, with its vast population of 24,000 individuals, has decided that their nomadic way of life just can not continue. If they were going to die off, they would do it with dignity. Upon arrival at NGC110023, Humanity set up a permanent outpost. They would confront this, `` Great Discovery'', and attempt communication. 
 
 Construction began on the most powerful transceiver the human race has ever made. Utilizing a vast network of drones, humanity converted the bulk of NGC110023's stellar output into a host of information displays, broadcasting in all manner of outputs, from gravitational waves, focused beams from the entirety of the electromagnetic spectrum, even to synchronized lines of asteroids. 
 
 All of these efforts were directed towards their eternal pursuer, `` The Great Discovery'' that their ancestors had warned of so long ago. 
 
 As the stars they previously visited began winking out of existence, `` The Discovery'' grew nearer. Upon impacting the functional radius of the Transciever, for the first time since 2087, `` The Great Discovery'' ceased to move. 
 
 In a display of unparalleled magnitude, the dark matter in the region of NGC110023 began to encircle the outer edge of the system. Fearing the end, humanity began to prep for one last warp jump, switching off the Transceiver, and redirecting power for interstellar travel once more. 
 
 In a great flash of light, all of humanity once again leaped to a nearby star, leaving the self-organizing dark matter to chase once again. `` The Great Discovery'', as it was called, had left yet another message, blocking out the NGC110023's radiation just as it had done to so many stars in its own attempts to communicate. 
 
 `` Please come back. I'm so lonely.''
