The precursors are still on the planet. They came back. You get partially translated messages from the Comms System saying something about nine subjects and they are missing one. Ten lifepods landed on the planet. One survived, nine died. They are experimenting on humans. They somehow missed you and if my theory is correct, they are looking for you. The developers said they are working on an alternate ending. An alien intervention is absolutely possible. I've imagined it as a wild goose chase. They see a missing subject, they check the Lifepod and leave a completely untranslated message on the Comms (which is there), you attempt to disable the gun after the Sunbeam gets shot down, they check there, you go to the Aquarium and they catch up with you they either take it or praise you, (as a primitive lifeform that was able to do what they weren't for thousands of years.)  We already know number 5 will most likely be possible. I don't think a Sunbeam rescue will be possible as it's too early in the game. Number 3 I'd have to say won't be, because they removed terraforming. Number 8, they explained that before you leave, you have the option to leave a timecapsule which you can leave an item and a 512 character message. This capsule will randomly appear in another player's game that just started. Number 2 might be possible, but I'd have to say it can't be because the Sunbeam is a story event, which forces the player to witness what the gun does, why it does, and how it does. Sorry, but there's no way 8 or 9 or 4 can happen. It's a story game, not a "choose your path" game.
