Wow, so reading this made me wonder what happened to the probes the early space program sent in the twentieth century? The ones that were outfitted with recordings of human sounds on Earth and basic pictures of humans just in case a sentient life form found the probes some day and tracked them back to us. Did they leave the solar system like the space programs around the world believed, or were they somehow intercepted and destroyed by Duncan without him knowing? Rudimentary probes like those of the twentieth century wouldn't indicate humans were ready for alien contact, as dearly as some would like it to happen NOW. Humans aren't ready. We can't defend the planet from each other, much less a technologically advance species with space travel capabilities. We're still struggling to reach one of our nearest neighbours, Mars. Not to mention Earthlings are not capable of handling politics and diseases and other ethical issues in a galaxy that has already established its legal and governing bodies without any input from Earthlings. Also, did the Proeathans send out any probes in their time before cryostasis that Duncan maybe destroyed to prevent life on Earth being discovered before it was ready? The Drivers and the Duncan are just as plausible as anything the game came up with. Apologies in advance for discussing both Duncan and the Drivers here, Xazz, as I know you want topics kept separate, but to me they're linked in my discussion here. Thank you for taking the time to read my super long post.
