It's re reason my Endeavor is called the "
Ambergris".
If they exist, their propulsion system is going to be all sorts of Quantum weirdness to move a biological animal in the vacuum of space, if they exist they are going to be able to create Q fuel biologically which will be waaaaay more efficient, and if they exist I aim to study them in a non-fatal manner and protect them as best I can while I do it - I have a feeling Quantum Ambergris is going to be hella useful and rare like with earth whale ambergris, and you can't get a sustainable supply of Ambergris from a dead whale so dissection is not on the cards...
That's why the good ship
Ambergris has a hangar stocked with fighters and interceptors, too ;)
If they exist.
I will start searching in the
Nemo system where the Space whale asteroid is a tourist attraction. I'll get one of the "Ergo, I Got Blubbered" t-shirts and if there
are any stories from crazies of real sightings of space whales in the 'Verse, that's where I think they'll be.
That's my plan. I may be chasing after the proverbial White Whale but when I find it... if I find it...
