U-Ventures Through the Black Hole Alternate Endings Part 22
Caru praises our bravery when we say we want to return to our universe in CHOICE #24, and wants us to take one last look at Marabou because we can't even dream when we're transformed. Caru might not have been telling the truth, as I think the words "quantum divergence" while asleep. CHOICE #26 on the last page of the book asks me to pick Page 93 or 89.
On Page 93, we awake in a space between galaxies, and the laws of physics are identical to our universe. It's not what we're hoping for, as the computer tells us after one hour of searching through a celestial atlas:
"The mind of Marabou transported you to another universe, but it's not your own. Now your only hope is to find an Earth-like planet in the universe you're in. There's not much chance of that-you have only enough fuel to travel a few trillion miles, which in the vastness of space is like trying to find a place to stay overnight when there are none in sight and you can take only a few short steps. THE END".
Inconclusive Endings come in one of two varieties: optimistic and pessimistic. The original Inconclusive Endings in La Isla de Los Dodos that inspired the creation of the category were pessimistic, such as being stranded at sea with a tiny hope of rescue. This ending is a lot like that, because it's not impossible to survive, merely unlikely. Optimistic Inconclusive Endings exist in Through the Black Hole as well, usually in the "We don't know what we'll find on this planet, but let's explore!" type.
Now we know that the mind of Marabou can make mistakes.

"I wonder what that even looks like, a robot body with six or seven CatClaw daggers sticking out of it and nothing else, and zooming around at crazy agility speed."
