The reference in S3 to the sun at the edge of a nondescript galaxy took me back to Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy

"Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea."

There is language and phrases that I like here (eg fish swivelling with pulsing gills) but nothing quite vibrant enough to excite me. I am sure you could make something more gripping with this material. So, as the Guide says "DON'T PANIC"
