Both: Living underground 100% is no small feat, and leaving no trace of your existence even harder. Even if they did, how would they note us and why would they bother attacking? And you didn't counter UkRa's point at all, or even try to.

Desperation can lead people to attempt things that they never tried before, with greater efficiency than otherwise possible.

They're not going to last 80 years if they're "desperate." After that long, everyone alive's been trapped underground their whole lives. It's not going to be likely for them to come out and attack.

In the case of the post you are referring to, the very definition of Militia (what we have) is ignoring 3, it was exactly what he had said, so therefore, I had nothing to complain about.

Quote from: Dictionary.com

1.
a body of citizens enrolled for military service, and called out periodically for drill but serving full time only in emergencies.
2.
a body of citizen soldiers as distinguished from professional soldiers.
3.
all able-bodied males considered by law eligible for military service.
4.
a body of citizens organized in a paramilitary group and typically regarding themselves as defenders of individual rights against the presumed interference of the federal government.

Interesting. However, moot, as my point was that any infantry-based military-style group would have no place in a space colony.

Good point, GWG. The second one, anyway. Why Jaras? That reminds me of Star Wars.

Jara was the name we agreed on best.

I'm not sure if we should lay too much responsibility on him,...

Drain as many magic girls of power as possible and use the power to destroy this faction.

And I am unsure that we need to bring it to the tournament... Who knows how will it behave?

Invite it to watch. Show it off to Krait.
...Figure out a gender pronoun to use.

Him.
After all, Slenderman, Thin men, and Adam was the first created in abrahamaic mythology.
Actually, Adam wouldn't be a bad name. A hell of a lot better than "Jarate".

A lot bit cliche, though...besides, weren't we letting him choose his own name?

Jaras is the species name then. Why not just tell him that his species purpose from the get go their is no point of lying to him. Just tell him he he is going to play a major role in future conflict by playing the role of a special-ops unit.

We tried to create a tool. It's a bad idea to tell a sentient creature  you are my tool and I am going to use you for my goals

And it's not much better to say you were planning to.

I don't know. Plenty of kids now adays know they're "accidents" and it doesn't hit them hard. I'm a accident, actually. Telling him we didn't expect him to be so wise wouldn't be the worst thing we could do to him. Telling him his race was/is intended to be tools for us probably is.

I'm an accident, too, but I'd be a bit...put-off if I discovered that Mom and Dad were planning to make me an assassin until they realized I could talk.

Still, that's later information. I don't know why we have to tell him everything right away. Right now we should examine him and make sure everything is functioning correctly.

We need to respond to him somehow...

I am. I'd play a Squelk doctor/scientist, most likely.

Bros and Brohams, I think they're MY kids.

And they'll be my kids, too, in a way.
I shaped every dwarf on the face of the globe! Granted, no quite the way I had in mind...

Almost every dwarf. Almost.

There were dwarves that didn't notice the huge jungle and giant reptiles?

Oh, you mean those. Yeah, that would be every dwarf.

Although, now that you mention it, the dwarves I'm reshaping will probably affect most dwarves' lives, too...
