3rd Mission [video]

[worldswillburn]

I'm guessing this is probably the first time a bunch of you have ever traveled through space. Not as special as you would've thought, right?

Maybe in another couple hundred years we'll actually have a ship that can make it to another planet.

[Kerrigan you're always such a ray of sunshine.]

Considering it took over a thousand years of development to reach even this point, I think that's kind of doubtful.

[worldswillburn]

And there goes my dream of leaving the Solar System.

[speakveryclearly]

We're stuck in this galaxy for the entire foreseeable future.

No, it was actually pretty exciting for me. It's completely out of this world.

And wouldn't that require building a base somewhere else..?

[worldswillburn]

[> the moon.

> out of this world.]

Might want to start with some fueling stations for the ships making the trip.

[andagain]

Right! It must be a long journey to branch out to nearby planets.

A lot can change in a couple hundred years. But there's no use wishing for things we're can't have and aren't gonna get any time soon.

[Even if he would really, really like to be able to get back into space...but it doesn't surprise him that, what with "AI taking over" in the backstory here, nobody got out there. And he doesn't want to be here another couple hundred years (he isn't even going to live that long, ok).]

Could always get some more time travel going on. That's worked pretty well for everyone here.

[She's on a roll today.]

Yes, what could possibly go wrong? Apart from breaking the timeline and maybe the universe if you're not careful. It's a great feeling to have such a wonderful option open as the best possible course.

[pabulously]

Dude. We are on the moon. How is that not special?

[worldswillburn]

Congratulations, you made to a planet's moon.

Now what?

The tech here isn't exactly state of the art and it doesn't look like we have access to much.

[onhold]

So I'm guessing that this kinda stuff is totally normal where you're from?

[worldswillburn]

We can do a little more than just barely making it to the moon, yeah.

[pride_of_amarcia]

Actually, with a stable moon base and all the tech we needed for that, we wouldn't need much more than what we have to scoot out to other planets in this solar system!

Just a more efficient fuel, or a non-fuel-requiring method of scooting out of planetary gravity! There's not even an aquasphere to deal with, which makes things even easier!

[worldswillburn]

I think "stable" is pushing it. More like just barely hanging on.

[Being on a moon? Nbd. Her home is a moon, so that's hardly the part that surprises her. However, talking about the theory of spaceflight as if it's a common thing? That? Draws her attention. So here she is, her typing almost comically slow (but faster, at least, than the tedium of vocal translation).]

How would such a thing be built and fueled? Have you seen schematics?

[Culturally, the Hab is All About Science. For someone who's never before given much thought to the idea of possibility, she's now considerably intrigued.]

[worldswillburn]

I know a bit, and I can pilot a ship easily enough. But you're gonna need to talk to an engineer if you want to get more specific than that.

[nosebleeds]

I dunno, man. I like my planet just fine.

[worldswillburn]

Yeah? Which planet was that?

[copia]

[ she can't help but laugh lightly at this ]

I knew this would be a walk in the park for you.

[worldswillburn]

[you always make kerrigan hate life a little less, kaede.]

Left my home planet when I was about 8. I stopped being impressed by space a long time ago.

[miscreant]

Not an experience I'd wish to repeat in a hurry.

[worldswillburn]

Guess you're not a fan of living in space.

[video]

[priad]

Hardly. I've sailed the sea of space between the various worlds of the Reef Stars for years now.

[video]

[worldswillburn]

Looks like you and me are in the minority.
