The wormhole sucks in your ship slowly at first, but the ship's speed keeps ticking up and up. By now you've called for full reverse thrust, but it doesn't appear to be making a difference. Space stretches before you on the viewscreens, stars bending into lines and a swirling rush of color. The last you and your crew see of known space is a fish-eyed view of distortion. Then all is a rush of strange color and shapes. Your science officers assure you that you're looking at successive three-dimensional slices of four-dimensional objects, but all you can think about is what might happen if your ship crashes into one of the tortuous shapes. Astrogation reports errors - there are no stars or satellites to gain a bearing off of in here. Through the fog you detect echoes of other metal ships and distorted nav signals. And then, just as suddenly as you entered it, you're through the wormhole. Space flops back into its regularly-established shapes. Astrogation reports that you've traveled 1.2 million lightyears. The ship is stranded between two galaxies, far outside its drive's range. Communications reports that they've picked up other ships floating with you in the barren void between galaxies.
You are alone, far from everything you and your crew knows - except for all the other ships, floating out there with you.
In this RP, you will roleplay a ship stranded by a wormhole in intergalactic space. The ships can be from your imagination or pulled from fiction. The wormhole will periodically open up and spit out something interesting - whether a necessary or valuable resource, derelict ship, or some form of antagonist. It's up to you what to do with it, and what your long-term goal is.
Ideally, this is all a vehicle for some fun exploration, alien diplomacy, perhaps some conflict, technology exchange, and banding together in difficult circumstances. I plan for there being an initial encounter/get to know everyone period, and then the wormhole will open up, dropping something interesting into the mix - a planet, a station, a spacetime anomaly, space whales, hostile ships, a weapon, fuel, plans for an intergalactic warp drive that may or may not work.
