Omar: One did, yes. Colony ships had attempted to pass through the first wormhole ever to be discovered near the rings of Saturn after unmanned probes produced successful results. But the wormhole suddenly collapsed, and dissipated altogether.
It would be many years before the human sphere ever found out the fate of those colonists who were trapped inside the wormhole. And that was only because we had inadvertently discovered the planet their descendants had taken residence upon.

We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)Naomi: -to Albert- Uh... no?
China did pretty well for themselves after humanity recovered, but that was just because they had enough people to offset the mass die-off. >_>
-to Omar- Damn. Well, at least they survived, right?
-to Naomi Quartz- Heh. Good.
Can't wait until we get back. The cold air's nice on the bandages, but I just want these off now. They're starting to crust over worse than that pillow.
Six: -to Einar- And it's probably not as frightening as the prospect of an effectively paramilitary black ops group that has carte blanche to do whatever they want so long as they can claim it's in the name of protecting humanity.
Even ONI's got standards.

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Omar: @Naomi Heh. "Lasers". I think "complete chaos" is a better description.
@Eires I can't fully answer that. Advanced aeronautical studies were not something I had studied before. All I do know is that it was the revolutionary "Minotaur Motor" nanomachines which opened the door for massive spaceship travel.
Although self-sustaining colony ships themselves are nothing special these days. Only the Nomads have use for them.
We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)Six: -to Einar- Fair enough.
You've got a plan, I take it?
Naomi: -to Albert- Please tell me you had at least one extraplanetary colony before you started shooting.
-to Omar- Lasers can be a part of complete chaos, too! :P

Naomi: -to Albert- Different universes, timelines, dimensions, whatever you wanna call 'em.
