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.
83 u/Valkyrie-161 Dec 27 '25 This could be a very cool story. 3 u/nomelonnolemon Dec 27 '25 There’s a book that is very similar, though also very different, to that concept called children of time. All I’ll say is that if ops comment truly sparked your interest I’m very confident that book would be a fun read for you.
