Wow, rude. I guess I'll just have to settle for the potential of gay, alien babies later on, if it happens. Boo.

So, the Interstellar Plan B is very much an option in this case? Well, I imagine a giant sperm bank and a room of frozen test tube babies would be like Plan C if the Frozen People didn't work out. I mean, you'd still have it if they did and a boost to the population would probably be a boon.

As for gene splicing. I'm hoping it's controversial. It'd be a wonderful topic of discussion in the IC that might eventually grow into full on conflict. Then there's the matter of interbreeding with alien species and if it's at all possible. I imagine there are supremacists who value their human genetics and what they had back home enough to preserve it aggressively. And then there are people (likely the scientists) who wouldn't mind eschewing ethic codes to prolong human life substantially.

I'm really just getting ahead of myself here. I'm kind of excited to see how events like these would fold out and we haven't established most of our characters yet. Jesus. Anyway, if you welcome more ideas and discussions about the road later on, I'm here for it. However, if you have plans and plot twists you'd like to keep set in stone, I'll stop throwing random ideas out there. XD
Now I'm not a woman with children so this is jsut me thinking aobut something I physically can not have the first clue about but I think I would preffer artificial than jsut going at it with a random stranger.


Would you like to have my gay babies? My gaybies?

@Sep

Well, I mean, I was wondering what kind of scientist I'd play. I guess I'm going with the resident physician and genealogist. I'm gonna make all your babies into super humans and generally be maniacal, you feel? Nah, but it'd be interesting to play someone who's willing to splice genes (if that's possible. gonna read the tech more thoroughly in a moment) to see if they can engineer humans to be able to live in semi-hostile environments. It's just a matter of ethics... >_> and how far that someone's willing to go.

All this talk about gay sperm banks gave me inspiration. I never would have known.
@Heat

I plan on making a scientist (cause homosexuality haha *cough*) and I wouldn't mind assisting you in those regards! I'm about to get ready for work, but I can talk more there and sparse intervals. If you don't wanna wait for me to PM you, you can send me one and I'll respond whenever I'm able to.

@FrozenEcstasy

ASKING THE HARD QUESTIONS, AGAIN.

That depends on the characters. But secret gay rendezvous for scientific purposes? How could I ever object to that?

@Sep

All those poor frozen meatbags. Only good for sperm and babies.
@FrozenEcstasy I kinda hinted at it in the canon section, they're trying to select people who are viable for reproduction which means they are trying to not end up with any gay people onboard simply because it's easier for people to actually y'know, do the nasty rather than artificial insemination. Obviously depending on the characters skills or what he knows (like if he's the smartest man on Earth) they'll be like "Nevermind his sexuality, we need him on board!"

How other characters react is upto the players, I hope that answers your question.


I also imagine their role plays a factor too. There are people picked specifically to reproduce, right? Staff on board would be far too busy in their jobs trying to make the ship stable, trying to feed numerous people, and a number of other things to really engage in sex and reproduction as frequent as the civilians on board. I'm not being presumptuous by thinking that, right?

However, you're talking about great minds here that likely would be a waste not to attempt to breed through the generations. Would it be illogical to assume the staff were asked to donate sperm and eggs in order to make sure their genes lived on for even more generations before boarding? I assume that'd be a top priority. Last of humanity and you have the equivalent of Albert Einstein on your ship, you want him to work for you, but you also want to make sure he has children. Right?
Asking the hard questions, here, I see.

Nah, as someone in the same predicament, I was just about to wonder at the same thing. I'm guessing sperm bank is the most logical answer, however. This far into the future? Science probably progressed enough to give gay couples biological, test tube babies, even. I don't know how that'd work and I'm not a biologist, but, it's not too hard to imagine someone figuring something of that nature out. Eventually, at the very least.

Other than that, I don't see reproductive uselessness being as much of an issue to others if they had other uses on the ship. What's a few people out of thousands? Human reproduction is always going to raise exponentially if there's more than a few hundred willing to procreate. Habitation and resources are more of a factor than "Is this person willing to engage in coitus with the opposite sex?" However, that's only logically speaking. In a situation like this, panic may give way to illogical thinking, which may give way to thinking that homosexuality would be the undoing of mankind. Aha. >_>
*Cheers* posted!!




Interacting With: Everyone
Location: Room → Basement





Late, sure. But time is objective. Subjective. One of those terms.

Stepping out of a fresh shower and seeing the time strike 8:20 am, well, Peter making it in time meant forgoing a lot of routine. Unfortunately, Peter didn't shy away from routine. He wouldn't be that kind of guy. He wouldn't forgo a nice breakfast if the consequence meant getting yelled at, either. Important or not, breakfast surmised a hefty portion of his diet - a diet that required strict routine. And, well, like it'd been stated many times before: Peter didn't break routine. Of course, he'd have to shift things over if this 8:30 thing became a regular occurrence, that he didn't find a problem. It was just not knowing yet that caused him to flit about with indifference rather than haste.

Taking the trek one step at a time, Peter ventured into the institute's spacious kitchen. He shoved a poptart retrieved from the cupboard into his mouth and made his way toward the basement's entrance. Of course, there was being obstinate and then there was being cantankerous. Peter didn't prefer the latter over the former and many knew that, so many expected him to do things with whatever air of whatever mood he'd been in and stare down a barrel of a gun with narrowed eyes. He wouldn't, however, put that gun in the mouth and proceed to taunt the offender.

He'd have to be drunk or high to do something like that.

So, it came as no surprise that the moment he moved through the basement's passages did he find himself at the end of yet another scolding shout. Or, well - Peter poked his head through the doorway, poptart half eaten in his mouth. He spotted numerous folks inside, displaying what they had and mingling among each other. And, what he thought had been directed at him, had actually been directed at Sophie, that quiet girl who rarely left her room on this very floor. Peter hitched a brow before sauntering in, knowing full well he'd be seen by Professor Latour. He waited by the doorway, away from the crowd of bystanders in order to await any scolding he'd get for his - he checked his watch - ten minutes of utter lateness. Peter would groan, but that would just grab more unneeded ire.

If the fact that the word 'vibrate' wasn't so literal with him, he'd describe himself as vibrating with anticipation. The idea of what lay ahead didn't sit well with Peter, but what may hide behind that? Well, that was worth getting excited over.

He gave a small wave to those away from him, hoping to at least quell some of that energy as he finished off his lovely breakfast. Was he the last to arrive? God, he hoped not. That'd be extremely embarrassing. There goes trying to keep eyes everywhere but on him.
I'd be on board to join, as well. (I'm assuming there would be scientists on the ship? That are important? And that we can plaaaay? ;D)
@Ace of flames01 Working on my post now!

(also in regards to the recent CS, I don't think anything was negated. Most of it just seems like personalized flair? I did that with Pete's to a degree. D: )
