Based on two premises.
1) What if you could build a hyperdrive-equipped starship in your backyard for around the cost of a car? Assuming it was fusion-powered, you could even fuel it with water (split the hydrogen from the oxygen, which you route to life-support)...
2) At this point, most of the funding for NASA and SETI and such come from science fiction fans. Most of which would give thier left testicles/ovaries to meet a sapient alien and/or colonize another planet.
...so what if the first space colonists turned out to be sci-fi and anime fans?
( Cut for extreme silly )
I have no idea where to take this, beyond the fact that if it's going to be such an obvious homage to Bab 5, that there should be Expys of the Shadows and Vorlons. Seeing as this is probably going to be a story about stories at this rate...
I have a vision of the Shadow Expy cosplaying as Haruhi Suzumia, and her species Arc Word question being "What makes it cool?". Her "Vorlon" counterpart would ask "What does it mean?" instead.
Huh.
