I still don't think the name's steampunk enough.

Whaddaya say my name and Deny's blueprints?

I'm game for that.

Why not; +1

That sounds pretty good, a very good name for a mad steam engineer +1

Its time, you decide, "Deploy the scout drones," there is a faint buzzing and then three scout drones are in space, they zoom their cameras down on the planet and soon images are flowing into the Galyiam the computor systems build up a map, and the you reciev the news from Alerish "The drones are in the shuttlles ready to be deployed,"
"Send them down, you say," about three seconds later three shuttles are heading down towards the planet, each carrying three scout drones, as they streak towards the planet, a faint humming alerts you to the presence of Shliek, your only other sibling on this mission "so its underway then," she says as she slides in next to you, "I just recieved news that Morlask and his team have already recieved a degree of approval from the hierach,"
"Really?" you say, "Isn't he the one who said he would base his new species of our own?"
"Yes, what he's done is rather than generate a new spieceis, he has taken some Ataqalaas, given them thick scaly armour, made them more durable, stronger, less sensitive to touch and much larger, and the hierach has agreed to make them their personel bodyguard."
"What!" you scream, "thats barbaric, changing our own race, I'm guessing that their not as smart as regular Ataqalaas,"
"Right, thats partially the reason that they are the personel body guard for the heirach, anyway we need to get moving, this operation must succede," as if on que, the monitor hums to life, and you see Alerish's face on the screen, "Whats the progress?"
"We have found about five species capable for our purposes, but we would need to take them into the bio-vats to further study them."
"Very well show them up," soon images of five creatures fill up onto the screen, The first is a large insect like creature cith huge mandibles, a large scorpion like tail, three limbs, each ending with claws and it is about two and a half metres long, the next is a smaller reptilian creature, with a long wiplike tail, huge fangs, all four legs capable of climbing, and the creature is about 1 metre long, next is another scaled creature, three metres high, tow large feet and two large hads, no visible mouth, nothing else of value except they have rather large heats which may suggest some kind of intelligence or even psyonic ability, then comes a mamalian creature, one metre long, a long head, large tail with a claw at the end, two large eyes and opposable thumbs, finally there is a small grub creature, about thirty centemetres long with a thick carpace for its size, it seems to not have any value but is is paraciticle, and they seem to store up the DNA of creatures they consume, they also hace a large proboscus mouththat sticks into creatures.

Maybe more creatures later but these are the first five

Just some notes, the great war, as it is called, is over now this is just in case somthing like it happens again, and I will acept some cargo suggestions, but I will also put some stuff into it myself, the next post will contain the cargo so please post, don't be shy

Just remember that your technology is increadable, so say clothes that float barley a milimetre away from you body, absolutely possible, anyway posting now

(Just to clear things up you are one of those creating aliens, you know like forunners in halo or Xel Naga in starcraft)

You wake to the sounds of soft humming, you have arrived a the system, now, where do you go?

First, what kind of race are you, you have five points to spend on these three cagagories, you may spend a maximin of three points on each
Guiders, basically psyonic abilities, allows you to controll your creations better and you can give them psychic powers
Crafters, this is how you can change the physical features of a race, ie you could give it claws or teath or make in able to breath under water
Teachers, this is your ability to share techology with other races and make them smarter

Next what do you look like? And whats your races name?

Finally you get to pick from these three planets to find creatures on, I don't have names for them sorry
A largely destert world with very strong, but dumb races on it
A largely forest world with lots of somewhat smart life on it as well as lots of posinous life
And finally a mostly aquatic world with lots of highly evolved psichic life on it

(If there are any detailes you don't undertand please tell me)

Awsome game, I reckon that we need a name right now, how about The Kai and would we be able to communicate vocally with other life forms?

Garor spoke to the man "Now go into the wolfs maw, go now with speed and soon you will have leadership of this tribe." With that Garor went over to a pack of wolves, "Such a shame I must do this, but I told them that I would challange them and challange them I shall" Garor looked over the wolf pack and soon they began to change, they grew taller till they were four feet high at the shoulder, their fur became black as night while their eyes were red as blood, Garor gave them certaint tastes, humans tasted good, while weak humans tasted best, those who worshipped him tasted bad, Garor sent them off towards his tribes lands, and then he flew into the ears of the wolfs maw, "The climb shall be steep and treacherous, much harder to reach than the wolfs eyes," he then went further in right to the centre of the Wolfs Head, and made a small bowlon a rock pillar, just about waist height for a man, he then poured water mixed with his own blood into the bowl, any who drinks from the bowl will be wolfborn, when they choose they will be able to temporarily turn into a large man-wolf wth black fur, and they will always be able to control wolves, the bowl is only filled for the moment, but the wolf born ability is inherited through bloodline, or drinking the blood of a wolfborn, of course, if one where to drink the wolf blood and not be one of Garors followers, well, lets just say there are some things worse than death
