Since its getting close to halloween in the states I thought I might share an idea that has been nibbling at me for a while but that I have come to the conclusion that I cannot write it to my satisifaction.
In the idea the Centauri first contact lacks one thing actual contact. instead of meeting the humans they find empty colonies, derilict spacestations, and entire ghost fleets.
The focus would be on the captain and crew of a ship that is part of this strange sequence of events. I would probably have something innocuous that a relative of the captain's said or that he incountered before he left for the journey start popping up subtlely at first but incessantly and somewhat urgently the closer the Centauri get to where Earth is suppose to be.
You know to kind of hammer in the horror without really showing anything. Maybe have odd but not unexplainable things happen to other ships in a fleet if it went on that angle.
All of this based on the trope nothing is scarier, which I am choosing not to link to for the sake of those who might get drawn in at tvtropes.
On an unrelated note I would love to see humans are cthulhu appiled to the most inapropriate series like V :wub:
