246 years ago? This was a crazy revelation.
Needless to say, it shocked everyone present. After all, the Hope had left Earth only for decades. 246 years ago? Mankind had barely reached the first industrial revolution then, how was it possible that the space merchants had stumbled across humanity in space?
If this was 246,000 years ago, then perhaps it wouldn’t be such a shock. After all, it could be a completely different alien race that looked similar to humans, or prehistoric human races with super tech. But 246 years ago? A human spaceship was impossible then!
However, there was no harm in listening on, or at least that was what everyone thought.
