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 independently 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 [:en:Metasystem transition]], control of culture. Because of the primary plot element, this would have occurred on Earth sometime on or about the time of the Cretaceous boundary event. Assuming a universal time frame and that that would be around the earliest then the implication would be the vast majority of worlds with intelligent life were independently post singularity.
