Project Lambda Dio (Possible)

== Disambiguation ==
Project Lambda Dio is the second of attempt of various governments, including China, The United States, the European Union, and others, to launch a space mission that would discover the nature of "dark matter."
== Background ==
Often called project LamDi (lamb di) in universe, this mission was a successor to the original Project Lambda, a mission that sent scientists off to look for information about dark matter in a far galaxy. That mission resulted in the loss of several astronauts, and with this new mission, the patrons hope to learn the nature of this dark matter.
Several people are aboard the mission, including some of the sixteen, barring main characters like Stacey who was too afraid to travel after seeing nightmarish visions in her dreams. Those who do go learn something about the Silent: that they are actually apart of themselves.
== Possible Plot ==
The initial crew of Project LamDi consisted of a group of specially trained astronauts named the Defenders of the Milky Way, who go on a mission to look into the nature of dark matter but they don't return. The following mission which is the second iteration consists of another team of the same name. Different than the plot outlined above, it may be that these agents go rather than any of the 16, as the 16 aren't trained for any space faring at all, and in fact the government(s) may want to keep secret technology confidential.
The recurrence of Project Lamda (LamDi) is in part due to Stacey having dreams that certain agents suspect is her "Dreamwalking," a scenario associated firstly with the Heart of God that allows anyone to look into the alternate dimension, the dimension where the Dreamers exist, i.e., the gods who stayed behind and didn't pursue the human experiment. 
Several over the project suspect that these visions as well as other scientific data suggests that the dark matter is heading towards earth, or simply expanding faster than usual. Due to this another Defenders mission is launched, however how that turns out is yet to be seen.
