(1966) "Secret Satellite Troja"
Having secured the transmitter station in the System of the Lost, the Teams now push on toward the Andromeda Galaxy. For the next step they hollow out an asteroid to serve as battleship carrier and expedition headquarters, then drive it through the transmitter to Andro-Beta, a small star cluster at Andromeda's edge. Where they are promptly swallowed by a space whale.
I am delighted to report that I am not kidding
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick You legitimately made me laugh! 🤣 🐳 2mo
The_Book_Ninja Sounds like this influenced Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home 2mo
The_Book_Ninja I mean, the alien probe is kind of a Space Whale 2mo
swynn @The_Book_Ninja Both stories have space whales, so maybe? Their takes are very different. In this one, instead of rescuing or communicating with the whales, they have to find a way to escape the whale before they are digested. (Spoiler: they do this by teaming up with an intelligent parasite.) (edited) 2mo
swynn @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Yay! The story made me smile, so I'm happy to share the joy. 2mo
