Spore - Not so lonely a universe...

It's been weeks since the caterwairy Head Librarian set out on her expedition to make contact with the Grox. It's the furthest she's ever been--that any caterwairy has ever been--from Bella Bellum. She's not alone, at least. A Sarahelmian Nibby Warleader is accompanying her, and on her left is another friend, from another winged race.

Still, this star system they've found, it's far removed from the main road of stars. It's out there, so far out there that most space-capable species still wouldn't be able to reach it. The system has only one planet, and that planet has only one genuinely complex species. The species will likely never evolve sentience, and with the planet's bare conditions, no other species are liable to pop up naturally. This one species is it, and the caterwairy and her companions are probably the only other living things besides them that will ever see these two stars rise.

It's a sad, lonely feeling. Although traveling between stars is so easy for her species, it's time like this the caterwairy Librarian realizes how massive and empty it must be for creatures who are stuck on the planet they were born on. She'll leave this system and never return, and these creatures will never have another visitor. Up until these stars die, they'll be here, stranded, alone.

Just a hundred feet to her right, the Nibby is making observations of his own. It's the first time he's ever seen a binary system. The way the two stars float about one another in an ancient, eternal (at least to the Nibby's own personal time-frame) dance is just so damned moving. He admires their synchronization, how they give one another eternal company. Once the expedition is over, once he finally returns home, he'll look up at his homeplanet's sky, at it single, lonely sun, and feel just a bit bad.

The companion on the left is busy chewing delicious cashews, peppered with blue spice. It's putting him to sleep, but that's okay. He's got his friends to look out for him if he nods off at the control panel. Sure, the caterwairy is a bit lacking in empathy at times, and the Nibby is always trying to impose his authority on everything, but it's really quite nice, knowing that there are two whole species out there who are all your friends. He dozes off for a bit, mumbling "Wake me when we're leaving" over the com-channel.

... what the hell am I going on about : ( Sometimes, terrible fanfiction is the best way to be creative in Spore. I'm so sorry.

I always wished you could start playing on a binarry-OO system...

[coraclebirdboat]

Yeah... always starting in rather identical systems bothers me.

Okay, this isn't terrible fan fiction, it's amazingly good fan fiction for spore. It reminds me of this life simulator Creatures. The fans make all sorts of fan fiction!

I love this race, as birds are my favorites, and I think birds are the next closest thing to primates on a race system or such. It's possible they're already sentient.

Cassowaries are a pure majesty, as such!

Your videos are pretty entertaining, rather.

[ApHuvet]

Heh, once I tried to make one... it failed pretty big.

hurray : O!

I might construct my own story! I've had a particular species in mind to take the roll of for a while. Mad scientists with a bent for galactic domination. :d

What will you do with this inspiration!
