Absolute Crack “Theory”: The Qu are the True Progenitors?
It‘s late at night and I am about to sleep, so have an insane theory (with very little evidence)! I sort of thought about the Progenitors from Star Trek when writing this. I decided to write it in an artsy way too, so enjoy, and I hope it’s interesting even if it’s absurd and very unlikely!
The Qu are ancient, godlike, even. But, where did it all begin?
Billions of years ago, on a small planet, a species developed sentience, the first in the galaxy, maybe even the universe. The species developed rapidly, but saw their bodies as imperfect, having only one limb to manipulate the world around them with.
They learned how to travel through the lonely expanses around them while also learning how to manipulate the genomes of themselves and their brethren. With that, they designed the perfect planet with the perfect animals and sentient inhabitants.
Earth.
Before they could see the results of their experiment, however, they continued to progress, and descended into a fanatical and unthinking hivemind that forgot about their creation and merely strived to subjugate the galaxy. Seeing the lesser forms of life around them for millions of years, they deemed themselves as the rightful owners of the virgin universe. They took organisms from planets and transmuted them into horrifying, unrecognizable forms that could inhabit other planets in order to control all that moved. Their perfect beings would not emerge until far after they moved on to another arm of the Milky Way with their vile subjugation.
They were gods.
Until their creations proved them wrong.
