Hermit Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 Our Ship has.... 13 working and improved models of the Genesis Device They're pretty sure they got that protomatter glitch gone with more stable longer lasting stuff, and worries that the Infinite Improbability Drive might..set one off, have been dismissed, for now. Because one man's 'dead world' is this ship's Fixer upper! By Roddenberry, those colonists in cold sleep will get their world to settle one way... *Activates device* Or another And yes, this means the PLANS for how to make a device might also be in the grasp of the ship or crew.. MIGHT. But the good news is these 13 planet terraformers will never ever be abused or hunted down by those who might want to weaponize them. What bad could happen? Pariah, Cancer and Logan D.

Sociotard Posted June 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 Interesting. Genesis device and a improbability drive means that we can go anywhere and make anything habitable, but we still need our colonists in coldsleep? This suggests that setting them up requires more than just finding a place or getting there. Perhaps the reason we have a public relations officer AND a protocol officer is that our ships top obstacle is diplomatic? Sure, there's dead worlds everywhere, but they're all variants of the Diaoyutai/Senkaku Islands problem. L. Marcus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 It occurs to me, BTW, that we have a starship designed by committee. A particularly dysfunctional committee, at that. Maybe even as bad as the US Senate right now! Hermit, Pariah and L. Marcus 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 Our ship has... a full complement of Colonial Vipers, and pilots to fly them. Commander Ivanova still prefers the Starfury, but the Viper's superior speed, especially with Turbo Boost, has its advantages as well.

It is good that we have Hal 9000 on board along with all the knowledge in the universe? And the Genesis device? Are we setting ourselves up for a real bad finale?

Pariah Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 Hmm, interesting dynamic here. Captain Blue (equivalent Fleet rank First Lieutenant, I believe) will be in charge of the jarheads. I don't know if our ship's Captain has experience with (or even the capacity for) flying a Viper, so that pretty much puts Ivanova in charge of the fighter pilots. There will probably be some friction there. That's assuming that the damned A.I. doesn't just decide to overrule (and/or space) all of us puny organics and take over all the operations itself, of course.
