The Prompt
Your entry must be inspired by this prompt, I am looking to hear the story where....
The Voyager Golden Disc is found
I want to hear a story about the Golden Record that was shot into space. One (or both) must be discovered/encountered in some way. This could be the focus of the story, or a background plot point, as long as the golden disc is featured, and in some way found/encountered/seen. The story should be set in the future, how far is up to you. (Although may determine how far the disc could have travelled)

If you are looking for more ideas, some of the questions you could think about, but by no means have to answer, include:
- Who/what finds it?
- Can they understand it, if so, what d they make of it?
- Is humanity still going?
- What has the record encountered along the way?
This seems like it would go pure scifi, but i know you guys will come up with all sorts, and despite the more rigid prompt, hoping to see a few wilful/imaginative interpretations that still manage to fulfill the criteria. I really hope you will all find ways (and time) to be creative and see what you can come up with, and I can't wait to see your entries.
Don't forget to include a link in the comments!
