[Erno86]

I may have something to add later.

By all means...

It turns out it was only a weather balloon and swamp gas.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Ahhh...a classic Allen Hynek comeback I see.

By gravitational attraction I should think.

I misread that and thought black holes were eating space wasps.

^^I am sure by then, Old Earth will still be a popular vacation and tourist spot. Possibly a very important hub of commerce along the spaceways.

Cue the short story Passion Ploy, by Matthew Hughes. An offshoot from his Archonate series of novellas. Outstanding work of sci-fi and future tech. Recommended for anyone into that kind of stuff.

If you want to get the brain jogging check out "white hole theory".

Pic of white hole found.
Is this the exit hole Maggot spoke of?

Uhm...

I just want to say, “Damn You!”

Being an avid Sci-fi fan that only reads in spurts and fits, I made the mistake of looking up Matthew Hughes and Passion Play. Now I must start from the beginning of his writing and follow it through. This might even cut into my reloading time.

Did I already say, “Damn you!”?
