[OOC] Void of the Stars: A sci-Fi Nation Roleplay

[Sukui]

It is impossible to seed Colony 741-something; i.e: a molten planet completely dry of water.

[WilsonTurner]

Does it have rock or hard soil?

Because if it doesn't, I don't see how a different race would start a Colony on it.

[darkwolf687]

It did originally, but there was a weapons test and now its a molten ball

[darkwolf687]

I think Walkers and Energy Projectors are going to get a lot more useful now these seeders are around

That is, if the Collective doesn't decide it would rather try and control them xD

[hacher5]

Oh dear god, Keyguy you must have had a problem sending your latest post or something...

Also, I know this next conflict I am about to go into will not be easy, most likely fatal. I am not saying I want you to de-buff your species, I am fine with it (It reminds me of the Flood in Halo, really), I just don't know how I will handle it. I could just abandon the entire Empire, move it to another galaxy and hang out there, come back stronger maybe. Maybe I could get help from the Equestrians and take the offer of the Equis Pact, though I already know that means I will have to ensue an entire revolution throughout the Empire. I could use the kid as a way of creating a new super weapon of sorts (Let me explain the thing about the boy, he's supposed to be extremely smart and..other things. The intelligence is phenomenal for a Hach race, especially for the Domi. He was supposed to be the kid that would help lead the hell hole I made/started into something better/more powerful). Maybe I could even send down the entire galaxy with me, ruining my relations, but possibly saving my own ass. I could somehow destroy the Elles Gem, causing a huge wave of energy just blast through possibly the entire galaxy (I have no idea if that would destroy it, but I am guessing it would..) Honest to god, I thought the draconians were scary, you multiplied it by five times, Wilson xD. It's fine though, I'll figure something out.

But I like the first one the most. I feel like just abandoning the current state I have completely, having a few trillion people of Zonan just escape to another galaxy and make a foothold there, away from all the chaos. Another thing I could include there is Zonan finding more Hach races, which is a possibility. I just need advice on it. Wilson, again, do not dumb down your species for the sake of me, if worst goes to worst, I am just gonna leave, come back years later, and do something completely stupid.

[WilsonTurner]

From what I've read (And I read dozens and dozens of pages), you're playing Draconians wrong. They can be unexpected, sure, and they might help people, sure, but taking their very essence and putting it into a fabricated body is what most of them originated from, was it not? What made it different to just implant memories and feelings in a creature that feels very different at its core? If they had a Goddess, or the Goddess, which was a nice rival to the Faust, I doubt she'd let her children be used and manipulated. I'd think she'd turn them to free will. That is what they had; they could decide, and they decided on conquering. What makes your cloning techniques different from the original Draconian techniques?

And really, my species are actually quite dumb. Just because they terraform a planet doesn't make it irreversible; you can still destroy their colonies, and their Walkers. Really, you could lead them into a trap. They'll adapt, but you could simply get them to follow you into a canyon where you dump rocks on their head, though they may be likely to simply gas the entire area, or just climb out.

[WilsonTurner]

Oh, and the reason I moved them to colonized 257 is so that they would be noticed much better than if they were on the fringes of your empire. A fleet from a half-dozen different origins would lead to an increase of interest, and there would probably be the Seeder's version of a fleet moving towards their warp areas. They'd probably just fly straight through the enemy fleets, too, and probably take down a good bit of them.

[Darkraven]

Hmm... I've been looking at this RP for quite some time.

Would you guys be interested in an ancient grey-alien (the stereotype being just that, a stereotype) type of race that had regressed and progressed throughout the many centuries? My idea is a race that has seen many of the current other aliens, and collected hundreds of thousands of specimen over the centuries (that are still in stasis), and has remained largely isolated willfully with the use of technology, but is forced by a major genetic crisis to reveal themselves and conduct diplomacy.

[WilsonTurner]

I believe that the Triarian core race is just that; the grey-ish, physic aliens, are they not?

[Darkraven]

Oh okay. How did I miss that? How about another type of alien that does the same thing? Just that the Triarii took the flak for all those abductions, UFOs and conspiracies?

[WilsonTurner]

I don't know. I just read a buncha stuff on the MCForums one.

[Darkraven]

Oh. I found out on the wiki. I'm thinking that this race of mine would be a 'gene-stealing' reptilian kind of race that had at one point abducted Triariis in order to conduct experiments and integrate their DNA into their own. Of course, they've pretty much 'stolen' from everyone. They won't be evil though - or they used to be, but grew more benevolent and moral after assimilating the 'right' DNA. This of course, meant that they must be ancient, and has a cycle of regression and progression that spans centuries or even millenniums.

[hacher5]

Reptillian, eh?

[Sukui]

Keyguy, holy shit.

Hextuple post.

[darkwolf687]

Actually the Draconian goddess actually allowed both the destruction of the Sanctum and further the death of her people.
Past that, the Triarii having forced gods away before, I don't think its impossible to believe they could do it again... Heck, the Equestrians trapped a god like being on the edge of the galaxy.

As for taking the flak for abductions, they partook in abductions and the humans have apparently never made a connection, that or they are sticking so close to the common sense doctrine they don't care
Don't expect to have abducted live Triarii though, the state generally kills them or they commit mental suicide rather than allow their capture, but then again you only need the bodies so xD
Sounds like it could be fun

Why would there be a difference between the cloning techniques? Its the stage after that which is different.
if they are put through the Triarian design of memory replacement, a complex art that relies on the machine manipulating brainwaves and imprinting pro-collective memories while removing the other memories. If you go in a anti-Collective artist you might come out a pro-collective soldier with your name reduced to a number, all your former life and personality gone, all depending on the settings. Why would it matter what fabricated the Draconians in the first place, if you are replacing someone's entire thoughts and personality what can they fo?

Though assuming Ted wasn't changed like this, his personality is very strange for a Draconian

[Darkraven]

Lol yep, that would be interesting. So I guess those millions of aliens in stasis have got to be humans and Draconians and whatnot then. I guess I'll write up a CS for this and see what happens.

By the way, I looked up the statistics for missing persons and the numbers are astounding O_o While I'm sure it's not due to aliens, it makes for good material.

[darkwolf687]

Look out! Dem Illegal aliens!

I should point out disappearances among Collective races is very, very rare and far between, mostly because everyone is monitored at all times by its civilis protectione caste. This has been going on for eons, since the advent of the Collective, since individual rights are placed after state security. Out of the handful of disappearances which do happen, they are usually government orchestrated or experimental tech errors in Argutus labs

[Darkraven]

Or they could be due to the work of an almost equally old civilization of stealthy, sneaky gene-stealing aliens that have evaded detection for the same number of eons. Heh :D

With eons of time, I'm sure the numbers will add up somewhere. That'd be interesting, since that would probably mean an upwards of at least thousands of Triarii pinched, some from eons past, sleeping somewhere in a stasis pod :D.

EDIT: Sleeping, or dead. As they became more technologically advanced, I'm sure they'd know a way to mentally stun a Triarii before it commits suicide.

Will work on the CS soon.

[Keyguyperson]

Maybe I should redesign the Boskop species I'm planning to add in, maybe a dark skin color instead of the grey I was planning? That would make sense, considering their backstory.

Also, Ted is a completely normal Draconian. The only difference is that he was never taught the ways of conquest, remember how I mentioned his mother died? Well, he never knew who his father was. He simply had nobody to teach him the Draconian way, and this ended up like he is now.

[WilsonTurner]

Did you ever ask the maker of Draconains how it worked, instead of assuming? I think it's kinda mean, just doing whatever you want, they could have a totally different process than mother-father-child relationship that's in humans. I wouldn't like it if I had dropped out of a, say, fantasy roleplay with a dragon character or something, and then everyone began puppeteering the dragon in ways that it would never act or even do.
