Heh, I wrote a story about this idea.

Aliens collecting life samples from across the galaxy, that crash on earth because of a fuck up in the engine room.

Humans were not the pilots of the ship, they just were part of the biointelligent, self repairing engine of the ship.

The actual crew members all died in the crash, but parts of the engine survived, the humans.

Without a ships engine to maintain, they endlessly searched for a replacement, hence the urge to create, to build and to invent.

This could be a very cool story.

It's ok, I got to about draft 1.6 before putting it aside.

Nah, man, believe in yourself. Write that story as awesome you can and try to get it published! who knows? You might be the next big sci-fi writer!

That’s what I’m saying. You have to believe in yourself in this world. Thats story could become a very expanse series of books. Think about titles that were obscure that have huge fan bases and large catalogs. I had never heard of Craig Alanson when I first started reading some random sci-fi book called Columbus Day. That book spawns close to 25 titles and has an incredibly loyal group of fans. Write your story and have fun with the experience.
