A couple of times now, various people (Me, Valles, at least one or two more) have mentioned ideas for some variation on "humans only get offplanet just after the Mass Effect Reapers sweep through" - well, here's another. In this version, events progress largely like the game, but either follow the "screw you, fanboys" DLC bad end or the giant microphone McGuffin I can't remember the name of doesn't work/isn't completed in time/doesn't exist, and there's a general wipe on spacefaring civilizations ... except for the 10,000 humans sent forward from the 1980s by the Montauk Project.
The what? Well, here's a condensed version that covers it and provides Hero 6th Ed. versions of the effects of The Philedelphia Experiment, Phoenix, Minotaur, and Montauk:

Yes, it's part of that bunch of wacko nonsense, but what better end to put modern fantasy to than the backstory for futuristic fantasy?
From there, you've got your standard castaways/ruin explorers/rebuilding civilization type story, but with the entire galaxy as the stage.
