This is going to require just a slight amount of prep-work beforehand. Rough plot outline, and I have a couple preliminary ideas for a title.
The plot:
a small group of scientists or amateur radio astronomers receive an intergalactic signal that is over 2 million years old (distance to Andromeda in light years). The signal origin appears to be Andromeda but its precise location is unknown.
Given the nature of this signal it is firmly believed to have been transmitted via some ancient (long lost) civilization.
A strategy is being formulated for intergalactic transport of a scale yet to be determined; science has evolved much since 2024 – we have the technology and can make this work.
Some ideas currently on the table in resolving the time problem are suspended animation, generational continuation, faster than light travel, wormholes and the Einstein-Rosen bridge.
Perhaps in the style of Star Trek, this team would encounter many bizarre worlds and various lifeforms along the way.
For the title I have thought of: The Message, or the Andromeda Code – so far. I just hopped on this and did a quick brainstorm, so nothing is written in stone, and these are just some quick ideas.
