Well, the Hive sailing off into the stars rather looks like either a setup for crossing over with something that can be found out there, or the story actually reaching a conclusion.
And the latter would be very unusual.

It's possible that the Hive will enter another dimension and leave a party of explorers/settlers, this being the origins of the Thranx from mppi's Incompatible Systems fic.
The Hive will arrive in the Mass Effect universe, find the Citadel and co-opt the Keepers and start running around fixing the Citadel, annoying the Council, C-Sec, and most of the Turian race ( who are massive rules followers, very much like Armsmaster )
Eventually they will befriend the Geth and start trolling the rest of the universe, just because they can.

Fess comes from The Warlock in Spite of Himself, by Christopher Stasheff. Lots of books from this series, which ended before Mr. Stasheff's passing.
The Thranx come from the works of Alan Dean Foster. I've encountered them in the Icerigger series of books, but I suspect they may be in numerous books.

'thought'?

Hmm. Looks like Saurial visited. Probably showed Cauldron an old-style movie with the clatter-y projector, flickering and all, maybe dodgy sound quality. Of the destruction of the Endbringers, and Scion. Probably marked 'Family Productions', or somesuch. Left them a coffee-table book, with lots of nice prints...
Why would they watch and listen? The lizard hands coming out of the mini-portals, behind them, that held them in unbreakable grips, to their chairs probably helped. And, that Rebecca had a hand across her mouth, until she calmed-down, a bit.
Probably didn't even need Big Brother peering at them with one eye, through an improbable window...
And, in passing, wasn't it generous of Saurial to ask Ceiling Lizard to snicker at them, occasionally, so they could tell... kind attention was still being given to them?

Honestly, when I read that, I assumed that Ms Aoyama had come to visit. Saurial is just too nice to cause that sort of reaction ...

Those are for Coil only ... although he'd probably be quite happy to share (in the less for him sense)...

Ooooh, yeah. The Thranx are in quite a few books - the Icerigger trilogy is just one trilogy in a universe of... 25 books or so? I think Flinx & Pip is 14 or so by itself, there's the Founding of the Commonwealth trilogy, and another batch of bits & pieces.
Personally, if it crosses further, I'd kind of like to see BSG Classic (not GINO aka nuBSG).
I was referring to this, which was not for Coil only. (And certainly didn't come through here because nobody had their organs redistributed and there were no glowing craters mentioned.) ((Well, David had a few organs redistributed but we know who did that.))

I too assumed that Becky and her remaining friends had been visited by Aoyama Reiko, but sadly that information seems to be unavailable.Honestly, when I read that, I assumed that Ms Aoyama had come to visit. Saurial is just too nice to cause that sort of reaction ...

I really don't know who talked to Cauldron and I look forward to being surprised!

The answer I choose to believe is that HiveMother!Taylor managed to get in contact with DistanceLearning!Taylor, who has the 'dimensional phone numbers' of a BUNCH of other Taylors. DL!Taylor set up a conference call and TaylorVarga! was able to provide transport for DarkerPath!Taylor. DP!Taylor was the one who gave Cauldron the off-screen ultimatum.
Since Taylor is conceivably a Peter Parker expy/variant, It's not unthinkable that in an infinite Multiverse, there's some version of the Council of Spiders/Reeds/Kangs/Taylors somewhere.
Hopefully it's not run by an asshole version of Taylor. Then again, Miguel O'Hara said it himself: "I'm not like the other Spider-Men." (He wasn't chosen by the spiders.)

So... what does the ship look like? I was personally hoping for a Saucer, but from how it was described it doesn't seem like it.

Cigar shaped, I think. Which is the other ideal shape from a space travel stand point.

While that might be fun, I think it unlikely. Normally, she only turns-up when people are messing with things it's a really bad idea to mess with. On a universal or even multiversal level. The Flesh Garden, while nasty, isn't (I think) quite on that scale.
Also, Bugging-Taylor seems... unlikely to have her as a 'friend'. Our merry band of universe-hopping lizards seems more likely. Saurial's top candidate, due to her portability, but if the Family was feeling cruel they might have sent Metis to... explain things, offer to get them de-bugged/de-sharded, and smirk at them.
Also... I'm sure Nabiki has better things to do with her time... There's always duck pond profiling...

Unrelated to the mysterious visitor that told Cauldron to shut up shop and made it stick, I have a more prosaic question; where do Dean, and the Dallon parents, and the Barnes family, think their kids are going to be for the break? Because I don't see Carol Dallon, of all people, sitting down long enough to even hear the rest of the sentence after "space ship" before going on an epic rant….

I... didn't think Dean was involved? When did that happen? Is Vicky back together with him, again?
The answer, surely, is that they're, "Going on a cruise. And, of course, there'll be responsible adults. One of whom is a University professor".
No more Leviathan means ocean cruises are something worth risking, again.
What sort of cruise? An educational one, of course.
Why would such a strange term as 'space ship' be used?
I guess I thought he might be interested in why he wasn't able to see his girlfriend for the entire break but if they're broken up (again) I guess he's irrelevant. I must have missed that part or mixed it up with another story.
Because if Carol Dallon figures out that they lied, she'll file kidnapping charges faster than you can say "kidnapping charges?"Why would such a strange term as 'space ship' be used?
