Alas, there is no faster-than-light travel, no time travel, etc.. It's all against the rules. The quarantines in this universe are harshly enforced.

Successful intelligent species get bored with this universe and retreat into universe of their own making, or else they are perfectly content to stay at home and not draw attention to themselves.

A few may permeate the fabric of this universe beyond our awareness, but they are not guiding our evolution or any other similar nonsense. They are not gods. They are not Q dropping in occasionally to annoy Captain Picard.

The most unfortunate and unsuccessful intelligent species learn how to control nastiness like anti-matter or fossil fuels and destroy themselves.
