In a universe that stretches beyond the limits of our imagination, where stars are born in the cold expanses of space and where gravity binds not just planets, but the very essence of existence, lies an untapped reservoir of meaning. We are explorers, dreamers, and seekers, driven by a curiosity to understand both the cosmos and our place within it. Our journey, both physical and spiritual, takes us through realms of fiction and science, through nature's inspiring complexity, and into the ancient practices of world religions.
This book is a bridge-between science and spirituality, between the known and the imagined, between the forces that shape galaxies and those that shape our souls. From interstellar travel to the mysteries of gravity, from the awe-inspiring innovation found in nature to the circumambulations of sacred spaces, we will explore the interconnectedness of all things.
Through each chapter, you will be invited to think beyond the confines of conventional understanding. What does it mean to traverse the stars? How does the pull of gravity mirror the pull of spiritual connection? What can the cycles of nature teach us about innovation and inspiration? And how can the act of circling sacred spaces in different religions reflect a deeper universal journey?
This book is more than an exploration; it's a call to adventure. It's a call to look up at the stars, down at the earth, and within ourselves to find meaning in the most unexpected places. Whether you are a believer in the power of fiction, a lover of science, or a seeker of spiritual truths, you are part of this grand narrative. Let's embark on this journey together, with open minds and eager hearts, ready to be inspired and transformed by the mysteries that surround us.
Welcome to the beginning of a new exploration-one that transcends the boundaries of space, time, and thought.
-- You're back where you started.
"We don't have a Caretaker. We have a Creationeer. And we love her."
~Humanity.
We think we're from here, but are we really? What happened to us before then, and who was involved?
Kit - a young B-Tier Creationeer - didn't want this job.
She's not trained to be an Intelligent Species Caretaker, and yet she's forced to care for the last remnants of a damaged and traumatized humanity by an old, malicious evil.
After carrying us around in a modified to-go habitat bubble for 18K years, Kit wants a vacation, but is hesitant to leave us alone on our new planet she built; Earth. She confides in Pan - an A-Tier Caretaker and Kit's best friend and roommate. She reveals the full story of how she came to be in possession of us and why she can't hand us over to a licensed Caretaker. Pan reveals the tragic truth of the first 10 years of our existence before Kit found us. The new knowledge Ignites a fire in both. So the two young Ethereals come up with another plan that involves the three grad school roommates, Pan, Sid, and Kit, taking us on a long road trip to the Andromeda galaxy for some good old fashioned revenge- justice.
And also Screw Jim.

(This idea was born from the second I saw a photo of Earth from orbit showing the glow of our atmosphere and thought, "Haha! We live on a bubble planet." :) )
NOTE:
They're not gods. This is not theology. They don't have all the answers, they're not all powerful, and they can't do everything. They're closest equivalent in a fandom would be like lesser cousins to the Q. In this AU, Humanity knows about Kit. They don't deify her. To them, Kit's presence is normal, tangible, and real. She's always been there.
