premonition

“Useless. Utterly useless.” “It’s not so bad. Projections indicate acceptable atmospheric conditions in less than a kilocycle.” “Teracycles late! Cax’l will secure the grant on timeline alone.” “You’re exaggerating. Besides, we weren’t to know an extinction-grade asteroid would hit the planet. The Council will take that into account.” “I still say Cax’l diverted that into our territory.” “The Council ruled otherwise. Don’t say it again, please, or they’ll sanction us.” “Hah! Just because Cax’l’s spawn is sharing carapaces with the Council Head’s spawn … It’s such a waste. Two perfectly similar planets, same solar system, right next to each other. It was a perfect opportunity to show the superiority of biologically guided terraforming.” “We might still be able to. Cax’l hasn’t managed to fix the sulfur waste problem, after all. We might even be able to improve the process. You have to admit those mammals are performing much faster than the original saurians.” “Yes, but look at the size of the nests. Clean-up alone hardly makes it worthwhile. Though they’re so fragile they’ll exterminate themselves at endpoint. That’s a bonus, I suppose.” “They’re kind of cute too. Maybe we can take some to study.” “… No. No pets.”

Thank you!

Ditto for that, though a friend got me onto Nightwish and similar stuff as well. These days I mainly just let Classic FM play in the background and pop in a CD whenever the jazz program starts. Oh, and celtic lullabies work a treat at my son's bedtime

Maybe. I could certainly never afford a commitment to scheduled playtimes (not least because of timezones), which is why I was curious. Though it's summer holidays for most of you, right? That's not really a good time to start anything

Wow, it's been ages since I've participated here. Are all these things like this now, with character stats and limited players and scheduled playing times?

Thanks, Kel.

There's a dialogue editor?
