[The ID reads Green Lantern and he's sitting on the rooftop of some building and eating a sandwich.]

Word of warning, if you go off planet they'll threaten to cut you off and effectively leave you to die. So if you leave make sure you have something that isn't dependent on your abilities, technology from your world counts in that category so build a new ship.

Also this universe is quiet. I couldn't find a single inhabited planet or get any transmissions. So to answer that question, we are in fact alone in this universe.

[He takes a bite and chews on it while he sets up a hologram of the region in space he explored. In case the ID didn't make it clear, the hologram is green. Green everywhere.]

Anyway a while back there was a discovery that this lady mapped out a section of space and noted down a couple of stars that don't actually exist now. [The relevant points glow brighter.] I checked them out and there's nothing there. At all. Something that big doesn't just vanish, but whatever happened there wiped it out so completely I couldn't get anything on my scans.

If anyone wants to look them over be my guest, but I doubt you'll find anything new or even find anything that can handle that much raw data.

So it really is a whole new world.

Can I ask what you mean by finding anything that can handle the raw data?

[ oh oh oh, he did it. he did it! there's a bit more attention that Loki gives this broadcast, pausing in multitasking to give this green fellow the once over. ]

Ah, so we really do have a couple of completely missing astrological points of interest. Goodie.

[ it all takes a little bit to file away. ]

And nothing but a whole lot of zilch on top of it. What a boring trip to space.

How were you able to get about in space?

you know how the distance between stars is a really big number right? and that stars are also really big. that's a large area to cover and running different scans over it produces a lot of data.

I didn't mean the data, silly. I meant the thing you'd use to process it.

You can say that again, but it's also strange about how little you could get out from it.

Things don't disappear by themselves and space is never this quiet.

I can fly really fast.

[Aka handwavey comic book magic that's never explained well.]

No, and certainly not something to that degree. [ he's holding a finger to his chin, and then he opens his fingers in a partial shrug. ] Perhaps the universe is artificial after all, at the hand of the said-to-be divine, anyway. That dismisses all the "alien abduction" theories.

Ah, if only the Kree were here. [ offhandedly, that was totally a joke to himself. ]

I'm not really a tech guy. I mean I could let people look through it on my stuff, but I don't really have the time to stand around while people do.

so better to upload it on something else but memory is the problem.

Oh, well, that's a bummer. I was hoping there was a computer that powerful around that I just missed somehow. I doubted it, but a girl can dream.

I'll admit, I don't know a lot about space, but missing stars sounds a little suspicious.

I don't think people on this world will rejoice to hear that comment on being alone. Who knows. Maybe the universe has us on mute.

You don't think someone could build some kind of ship? We have enough people from those kinds of worlds, right?

Or long-range scanners? Any way we can tell what's going on? Unless our potential ship-builders could figure out FTL on these resources, we can really only look, right?

Hey, hey- off planet? Entirely off planet, like- intergalactic?

Maybe it's just this universe we're alone in.

[ what in the absolute eff? ]

Huh.

[ just that. and for a very long moment, he's staring at that hologram on the phone. and trying to enlarge it. omfg phone why are you so small. ]

Not even ambiant particles or... space dust? No trace of star death?

Like a pocket universe? I never got the chance to go to the edge so it is possible.

I've never heard of the Kree, but I'd take the Guardians any day.

earth hasn't reached that point yet sorry to disappoint.

and try very. everything I can think of that could do something like that isn't subtle about it at all.

don't think its because we're being ignored. if it was they shouldn't have thought me looking around thousands of light years away would have been related to earth. this earth can barely leave their own orbit.

And they blow each other out of the sky in the name of whatever they're fighting to prove to each other at the time.

Either way, my first statement still stands.

if they can no one's bothered to do it.

I'm still waiting for someone who can stop the government from shutting us off whenever they want.

[Spoken with his mouth full of food.]

Yep!

[And then he swallows.]

Cool, right?

Sort of the point. I work in space, it's never that silent.

[He said he'd do it!]

Nothing. Like someone teleported the whole thing somewhere else.

I don't know if that's going to be as possible as building a ship.

Maybe we should open up solicitations. Show them how it's done. I'm pretty sure it would probably at least not get trapped in space than that bucket of bolts they tried to build when I first got here.

Teleported. A lot like the Porter can do. Though a star's a hell of a lot more energy and mass to move around than some random shank is.

[ he mumbles it, frowning. he believed you would, dude. and he's mildly jealous you got to go into space, but whatever, not important at the moment. ]

Between 1910ish and 1913, she found those stars there, and thought there was something special about them. There's no way to tell when they disappeared, but they had to have been there for her to see them in the first place then.

We've got a window of 1910 to 2015 to figure out when and why and where they went.

[ no big deal. son of a biiiitch. this is at least something, though. stars don't just disappear. ]
