Two Iganan Worldships have the extremely unlikely event of detecting each other. One of these has its artificial gravitational device destroyed and the other still has gravity.


One Iganan starship cautiously moves towards the other out of curiosity, a great oppurtunity to discover something about the world. One of the key questions the people of this starship has asked themselves for millions of years asked if other starships similar to their own could exist. With an incomprehensibly low chance, they could finally explore this question!
As it approaches the other Iganan Worldship, the other party detects the incomming ship, both unable to communicate with the other. Once they have stopped moving relative to each other, both sides made the daring move that none have even considered for almost 10 million years:
They each got in their spacesuits, and left the ship, attached by cable to their respective home in case something happened.
They both sucessfully landed on the other's ship. One, whos ancestors were not exposed to gravrity for millions of years, collapsed and almost died due to the extreme gravitational force, many of his bones broken. As such, all meetings took place on the worldship without gravity.
Oddly, both ships found a whole seperate species on board the other ship, but both sides had many consistent features about their DNA.
However, neither side could talk to each other. As neither side understood each other. Still, both sides took note of this discovery.
Despite this, both ships stayed next to each other for thousands of years. Attempts to decode the other culture's language continued for thousands of years. This has resulted in breakthrough after breakthrough and, several generatons later, both sides eventually figured out how to talk to each other.
They taught the other side everything they knew, but the origin of their respective species was still unknown.
They both stayed with each other for many generations and communiated much. Until it was eventually decided they leave each other to the void for eternity, for once and for all.
After that, they both forgot the other existed at all, almost as if nothing has even happened.
It appears that nothing truly matters upon these starships.
