So I’m singing “Diggy Diggy Hole” in the shower because I had it stuck in my head all day. I end up playing with the lyrics to make it female-centric (making the first line “Daughters of the mine, rejoice” and changing “brothers” to “sisters”) because I’m imagining myself as a soprano opera singer with a female choir/metal band in the background. Now I’m suddenly homesick for some made up Erebor-like realm where me and the dwarrowdams (and elf maidens if they want to join- we don’t discriminate!) are digging holes, forging elaborate tools, weapons, and trinkets, cutting gems, cultivating rock formations (because we’d totally have a version of the Glittering Caves), toasting to our glorious Queen Under the Mountain, and feasting to our heart’s content without judgement far below any outside threats. 🥲
I guess dragon eggs aren’t only found in Alagaësia.
I can just see the hatchling. She might bond with someone from the first crew of astronauts who reaches the nebula if she doesn’t remain as a wild dragon. Since the picture is a false color image to show the nebula’s characteristics, our space hatchling wouldn't be pink but likely have bright white, glistening scales. Her temperament might be bold, wild, unpredictable, and even destructive at times like the cosmic forces she was born within. However, she would be steadfast and loyal like the enduring light of nebulae.

Most of if not the entire team would survive the trip. Loki would love the idea of bombing the island, but he might end up not encouraging it after some deliberation with Carol and Fury. I mean, he's sometimes reasonably cautious at the beginning of Thor 1 and in his show, so he's capable of being level-headed in a scientific/dangerous setting. That being said, he'll definitely try some chaotic magic for the giggles, and the time it takes Fury and Carol to stop him from doing said chaotic magic would easily add 10% of runtime back to the movie.
Carol would fix the stranded pilot's boat in record time because she's awesome like that.
Fury wouldn't go crazy because (a) he elects to ignore most stupid decisions that come his way, (b) he brought his emotional support flerken with him, and (c) he's Fury.
Which leads us to said emotional support flerken. Fury might be annoyed with Goose at first when she doesn't eat Kong but has no problem with gobbling up the big scary critters on the island. But he'll quickly come around. Kong wouldn't have to fight the "Big One" because Goose single-handedly causes a mass skullcrawler extinction event as soon as they show up. If not Goose, then definitely Carol and Loki.
