Therapod

This is a sketch of an original work fiction © Us:

• The story is one of first contact and a central element is that the evolutionary line on Earth is a deviation from the "normal Saurian line" for the development of life on planets like it.
• The density and history of planets with life and intelligent life in the universe generally are elements. The former is given a value on the conservative end of the orders of magnitude between 1 per "galaxy like ours" and 4 10⁴ which was Drake's original figure, e.g. say 5 for the per galaxy count and 10⁶ for the galaxy count which is 50 million worlds where life has reached the stage of scientific civilization.
• The next element is the fraction that have past the Omega point, the technological singularity, the final stage of Metaphase transition, control of culture.
