The ship notices a small band of UV light, shining in the direction of Aries, that is blinking on and off. It is originating from the orbit of Gas Giant A, near one of the larger moons. It is not harming anything, but the general is put at unease by it. "Don't know what that is, but I don't like it."


I think our pals, the ones we haven't met are bouncing light off of us. They could be attempting to send a nuke or something at us or just trying to see where we are. I think we need to get a look at these fellas.

Jake has trouble spinning around with such little space but manages and gives a few tugs to let the guys in the little cavern know he's alright and returning. Jake scuffles off in a hurry to return, fighting through the pain in his ribs. Jake makes it back in 45 minutes with such speed and determination and greats the others almost in a yell he is so excited. "Guys! Guys! I found Jake. He's alive and okay. And we have fresh water!" Jake says, catching his breath. "That's great!" Yngvar replies. Vinyl is all smiles until it wavers and he asks "Are you okay?". "Yeah fine." Jake says. After a few seconds the colors at the edges of his vision begin to scintilate and Jake sits down. "Oh shit. I shouldn't have rushed back."  Jake fights to keep his eyes open as vision wanes. Luckily Vinyl and Yngvar rush to keep him awake and Jake manages to not pass out. Jake suggests they sit for a few hours and let him peice himself together before going into the tunnel. Everyone agrees to wait and discuss how to get the most items across in one run, which items to bring across first, and which to just leave behind all together.

"You're at the water? You're about halfway there. Don't worry about crawling through it, it's pretty shallow and your head will be above water most of the time. I have a few broken fingers and toes but nothing major from what I can tell. What about the girls?! I didn't catch that part! I'm fine with supplies. I've found some things to eat and plenty of water. I'll explain when you get here. Make sure to wrap your stuff up before taking it through the water. I ruined a camera that way. I was able to get my pack and stuff through but it took multiple trips. We'll talk when you get here!" The voice booms through the tunnel as if yelling in Jakes ears.

"Andy?! Is that you down there?! I'm in the tunnel! Follow the light of my torch if you can!" Jake yelled back, waving his torch.

"Jake! Ohmygod! I thought you guys were all dead. Look, the accoustics in this place are really good. It took me 2 hours to crawl into the big area. Do you see anything to tell me how far along you are? You gotta get in this place! It's amazing!"

OOC: So this is a game about starting a new colony of humans by terraforming a world. Per the first post, "You are a Sentient AI, charged with protecting and nurturing a small colony of humans."

I understand that some would like to play a game where you are an evil robot destroying the galaxy, seizing control, or abandoning the main mission. I tried to RP it for a while to try to gently nudge it away from that direction, but this seems to be getting a little off topic/out of hand. As many/most of the posters would like to follow those goals, I would like the game to continue in that direction.

So, from now on, please only post suggestions not related to killing/maiming/destroying/undermining humans. Such suggestions will be ignored by the AI/GM/me, as they go against the idea of the game.

As I envision it, this game is more constructive than destructive. If that sounds fun, please continue to contribute.

On that note, I don't really feel like going through three pages of back and forth about killing humans and trying to parse out the actual suggestions. I'll consider those pages the thread's growing pains, and we'll just move forward from here. If you had any constructive suggestions in those pages, I'm sorry, but could you please repost them?

P.S. If someone wants to start an evil robot taking over the universe game, that would be good fun. Just not for this thread  :)

Could you repost your last official update to put a signpost so everything is valid after that point, and for simplicity's sake?

Shining a light down the tunnel reveals a rippling reflection on the floor and ceiling off in the distance. As Jake yells the humming stops and sloshing can be heard "Jake!?" A voice says. It sounds far off.

Causing an argument isn't RP. Do whatever you like, however. Maybe I am in the wrong. It just felt like the majority didn't like how you were acting. Once again it is difficult to gauge text. And I have been rattling around in this thread for monthes, whether that makes me new or old doesn't really matter does it? My vote should be just as important. Personally I don't care about it but calling someone a whiner seems fairly childish. Maybe I am newer to the forum but it seems like you have a lot of things to learn if you intend on speaking to people that way. And as far as trying to RP I am actually GMing a heavy RP game called The Rabbit Hole. Would you like to tell me how bad a job I am doing at that? I am open to criticism. And as far as the Toady comment, he seems like an intelligent guy I think he will figure out whats going on and not just kill the thread. I don't know why you are insulting me but go right ahead if it makes you feel better.

Jake grabbed a handful of trailmix, feeling he deserved it, and took a drink slightly bigger than a sip. Jake then dropped to his knees pausing to take a breath before dropping to an absolute crawl and entering the space with a flashlight that he had taken from the pile and loaded with fresh batteries. The space was about as confined as one can get without being actually buried. The ringing in Jakes ears had gone away hours ago but Jake could actually hear the sound of water as he began to move.

The crawl was long and hurt like a bitch when the cave became to small to do anymore than shimmy his way forward. The floor and ceiling seemed to undulate at odd intervals but looked to have been carved by a slight current. Jake was crawling until his rope stopped him, after all there was only 350 meters of cord. Jake was just about to attempt to turn around when he began to hear humming over the, now louder, slosh of water. Humming with a tune and it seems to be coming from in front of him. "Is that my imagination?" Jake thought.

(Of course we have that in Australia. We do have coins after all.)

Jake flicked the coin into the air with his thumb.

"Tails."

Yeah but I don't know what's on them be they heads or tails.

"Tails. Damnit."

Jake catches the coin in the air and slaps it on his arm. Removing his hand reveals an eagle clutching arrows and a wreath. Jake sighs out of relief.

Vinyl goes unless Jake wants to jump in instead and get another update in.

What he is saying is that we should kill the leaders and take over the human colony. We can govern them more efectivly then they can govern themselves

I disagree with this but if you want to suggest it that's fine just please don't type it in all caps or call people names and be all around obnoxious. That's what I'm getting at.

I don't want to have to bring Toady into this. I don't think I am the only one who wants you to leave the thread. Please stop typing in all caps and acting like a jerk or kindly leave. If you want to spout unintelligent crap please go to /b/ to do so. I don't want that in the forum or in any of it's threads not designated for doing so. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. I tried the RP way, now I am giving you a warning.

Quit. Now.

Calm down. Ignoring is effective.

I don't appreciate people being difficult for no reason in places where it causes problems. And I'm not angry. Tone is difficult to decipher via text. Assertive behavior is not anger.

Don't worry. 'M still a nice guy.  :)
