Humanity expands into the galaxy and finds that we're alone. Just a few planets where the local primitives are figuring out how to start fires. No technological civilizations beside humanity.
We thrive, develop all kinds of incredibly powerful tech to the extent of basically "stereotypical scifi precursor species space magic" and spread everywhere before discovering some way to ascend to a higher plane of existence.
There's only one thing left to do before departing the universe, leave behind stuff to baffle whatever future civilizations develop.
Rules:
• Our resources are basically ROB-level. Shape nebulas, terraform planets, build ringworlds and dyson spheres, etc.
• The goal is trolling, not genocide. Leaving a button labeled in whatever primitive language the alien's used when we left marked "do not press this button" that when pressed fires a Halo Array = bad. Leaving one that deploys robots to find the aliens that pressed it and present them with a starfleet security redshirt certificate of genre blindness = good.
What should we build?
