-Nomai discover the eye of the universe is in my solar system -Nomai crash land in dark bramble -Nomai build civilization and start looking for eye -Nomai discover weird time shit happens with black holes and white holes -Nomai harness this to create Ash Twin project powered by Supernova, which would allow them to send a probe from the cannon to random parts of the solar system until eventually it finds the Eye of the Universe -However they were unable to supernova the sun, then, later, Ghost Matter exploded out of the Interloper and killed them all. Unevolved Hearthians were OK as they were underwater at the time, then evolved later -Thousands or millions or whatever years later, the Sun naturally goes Supernova (because the universe is reaching its heat death) -This activates the Ash Twin project so those 22 minutes before the Supernova repeatedly loop, with the probe being sent to a different place each time. -Eventually, after X number of loops, the probe finds the Eye of the Universe, which activates the Ash Twin project and wakes up the two living statues, tying the closest living creatures to said statues to it, one of which is me. Presumably the Nomai's plan would be to deactivate the ATP once they have the desired coordinates, to prevent the manufactured Supernova. -Sidenote: their plan was ballsy to the point of absurdity - essentially wanting to kill themselves repeatedly (though they'd have no knowledge of it I guess) until the probe found the eye. -Also guessing that the probe was programmed to never deviate from its coordinates once it finds the coordinates it wants (i.e. it will repeatedly fire at the Eye rather than looking all over like it did before). -I find the Eye of the Universe using the vessel. -Crazy fucked up quantum shit happens and then the universe dies as Chert said it was going to, with me having broken the loop but surviving because I now exist on a quantum level - like Solanum? - or because in the eye I'm "outside" the universe, or both(?). -I end up in the eye of the universe. Jumping into the eye of the universe - the big orb that is created over the campfire - at the end creates, I guess, a Big Bang and restarts life. Not sure why that would actually happen though? Is it because the eye is being observed? -Also not entirely sure why all the friends were there at the end apart from it being a beautiful scene, but I don't want to logic that one too much and am largely happy to have that be a thematic thing rather than a scientific one
Sorry for repeating myself, I just like laying things out like this and starting from the beginning. Anything big I'm missing?
