@Mtntopview That ... Makes no sense. You improve something to make it more efficient. Grimlock is now more powerful, technically. Thus better than what Shockwave initially created.

That and the Dark Outliners are more logical.

@Archmage MC The Ethereal behaves more as a collective however. No ego apart from species pride which they put aside to transcend.

Shockwave is completely rational.

That and the Dark Outliners are more logical.

@Archmage MC Erm, yeah, hence why they'd put aside any form of desire to compete? Shockwave doesn't give a damn and will evaluate what is better, even if it contradicts his primary hypothesis. The Ethereals don't really care either whether they are right or wrong, they are somewhat beyond going for a subjective truth. They want something that delivers the goods, even if it means dressing up like a Spanish prostitute.

There's no reason for them to stagnate. That's like only true if they had an inch of humanity in them.

@Flamelord
Unfortunately, the Goa'uld have somehow managed to be the least friendly to outsiders out of all the factions in play. And that's including the Conquerors. Although I might throw in a char that could join the Goa'Uld.

@dirty slime
I'm waiting for you to remove the digital weapon thing, as it makes no sense. Unless you want to get the GM involved in this, of course.
