      Xeno-archaeologist 1,000 years from now: … yeah … it’s another one … fourth one in this sector … just blew themselves up and destroyed everything for some dumb reason … probably economics like in that last system 35 light years away … too bad … if we had arrived earlier, we could have helped them out … oh well

        Further research shows that they blew everything up trying to deal with the ancient, insatiable, worms they released on themselves out of curiosity. Upon reflection, it is probably better that we didn’t arrive earlier.
