OK BUT YOUR ART JUST HIT ME WITH THE REALIZATION THAT ENGINEER MARK WOULD ABSOLUTELY BE AN AVATAR OF THE VAST IN TMA
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH MY GOD MAYBE?!?!?!
In love with the emptiness of space
Falling into wormholes left right and centre
The warp core as his attempt at the vast ritual when fully absorbed
Would he have lichtenburg scars from the machine malfunctioning ?
I also raise you, however, avatar of the Dark, black holes and wormholes. Spent centuries drifting in an abandoned empty ship, sits alone at the end of the universe as the last star goes out
