Potential Plot (2)

Here we go again with another potential plot:

Potential plot:

A group of explorers discover scientists (who are orbiting a star in a research facility) working on a power supply they call the Star Chain.

The Star Chain is a theory that a special type of matter, called Red Matter, emitted during the Big Bang was focused in certain region which contaminated a series of stars.

These scientists have identified a “chain” of stars throughout this and nearby galaxies with a concentration of Red Matter.

Using Red Matter, these scientists believe they can control sufficient energies to manipulate the fabric of reality and travel through time.

Potential difficulties:

A. The explorers learn the scientists destroy stars to collect Red Mater
B. The explorers learn the scientists have destroyed multiple stars already
C. The explorers realize this star has an inhabited system
D. The explorers realize Earth’s sun has concentrated Red Matter
E. The explorers learn the scientists are motivated to reverse a past tragedy
F. The explorers learn the scientists are insane
G. The explorers learn these scientists are just one team of many

Potential Plot

I really love coming up with Science Fiction plots.

There's nothing new under the sun, but I have never heard of one like this before.

Potential Plot:

An astronomer mysteriously receives a message of “help” from a distant something.

He learns that an advanced people have developed tremendous sciences.

They have concluded in 100 years an inevitable galactic event will devastate their world.

These humbled people are frail, small, and in every way physically inferior to humans.

These people’s resource-poor planet gives no options for evacuation.

They have contacted Earth through this astronomer for help.

They have a plan to transfer Earth’s resources to construct life boats.

Potential difficulties:

1. Their resource needs will nearly deplete those of Earth’s
2. The evacuation is unproven and potentially unlikely.
3. They have no destination for their evacuation.
4. Earth countries must cooperate to provide mixed resources.
5. These people’s galaxy is not visible from Earth.
6. Their technologies have obvious military application.
7. They have a century’s-old cast of humanoid slaves.
