Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. There are no sounds in space. If you see someone scream, you could feel their scream and have empathy for them. Is that the same as hearing? And just who are they that say?

Surfacebreak. Runner-Up in New Worlds Challenge.
No one can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I wouldn’t know, yet, but I do know that not hearing anything would be a welcome blessing for my people. The screams of our brothers and sisters ripple through the depths at all hours, some shrill and desperate, others hollow and defeated, but all stretched and distorted by the vast reaches of saltwater in every direction.

The Lookend
No one can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But what humans don’t understand about sound waves is that vibrations travel through anything, not just Newtonian matter. Human stereocilia don’t interact with or detect pronomatter, so their scientists don’t investigate regular sound through vacuums – a major blind spot in their understanding of the universe.

Songs of Starlight
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. You can try it, but the sound dies out seconds after its release... you along with it, IF of course you're the sort of being to actually need a steady helping of air, and don't have a helmet to pump you full of its sweet satisfying nutrients. Once everything is gone, this inky emptiness seeps into your insides and suffocates all semblance of life, instead.

The Pentambuluni: Cephalopodial Sentinels
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. And what is a scream without sounds but a form of visible manifestation of a complex biological organism in ultimate distress caused, in this case, of being thrown out into the empty void of outer space.

The Science of Souls
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. No one heard him, or the explosion, as the nuke made it's way into the portal. It was like he was alone. Matteo was quiet for the first time, no one could hear his comms. There was no quip to the bad guy that would solve this, or make this at all light hearted. He was terrified and alone in space. Making the sacrifice play for a team that didn't care.

Quantum Dust
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. It was one of the first things you were told when learning to Star Jump. I think it was meant to comment on the fact that most people that try to Star Jump are likely to think they can survive any and all bad decisions, because you only go Star Jumping if you’re one of those types that can’t experience happiness unless you’re doing something death-defying, or you’ve got a subtle desire to commit suicide and don’t want to make it obvious.

Novis
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. However, one could only imagine the shear horror of what it would feel like to be sucked out into the cosmic void without a spacesuit, like all those passengers that lost their lives on that ill-fated voyage, Columbus 17. They were literally only days away from arriving at the newly terraformed planet Trappist 1e, now formally known as Novis, when a somewhat small, yet extremely destructive meteoroid crashed into a section of the passenger ship that was carrying over one-thousand people. They were migrating to a new world that had all the promise of a better life, while also advancing mankind.
