As in an alien force pulling off something similar to the Preservers and taking the whales off of Earth to a place where they can thrive again and possibly found a great and wondrous civilization. However the way this plan is executed is done in the most graceful and yet illogical and physics violating way imaginable: Giving the Whales the gift of Flight and breathing in Space...
What if this was the fate of Earth's Whales rather than them being hunted to exinction?

There should be somewhere obvious where space gods can leave sticky postit notes about work product and progress, so that other space gods don't clown it up.
but seriously would this be considered a "good ending" for the whales?
My tongue-in-cheek "theory" is that the very reason that humpback whales went extinct at all was because the most viable breeding pair, George and Gracie, mysteriously 'disappeared without a trace' from the open sea in 1986 (by being snatched up by time travelers from the 23rd century). 
Anyway, it would take some major biological changes for an underwater species to be able to survive fully exposed to the vacuum of space.

Or that during their brief sojourn in the sea, they spread an antibiotic resistant strain of a whale disease (or possibly not some Vulcan disease from Spock) to the rest of the species, which combined with over-hunting, led to the extinction.
