Got two things to ask and one thing to offer. I'll try to make it short and sweet.


QUESTION 1: What destroyed or depopulated your version of Earth? Nukes, asteroids, zombies? If nothing did yet, what took the closest shot so far?

Same question if you're not from Earth - just swap out Earth for wherever you came from.

I'm not compiling a spreadsheet or anything. I guess it's just something I've wondered.


QUESTION 2: What are we even doing here? What's our destination? The purpose of the voyage? Who sent us, and why us? Maybe I missed something and by all means point me there if I did, but in less than a day, this ship sucks up more resources than the Ark could spare for a month.

I've been here for over a month now and I'm the first person I've seen ask anything like this so far. I want to think it's because we were up to our airholes in highly invasive nanotechnology. Or - like I said, maybe I missed the big 'who, what, where, and why' memo.


OFFER: I'm bored off my rocks, if you haven't picked up on that yet. I was a zero-G mech back on the Ark, and if that's not enough, I helped fix the thing that saved your asses pre-Jump. I can repair, rebuild, or build from scrap just about anything you can think of. So somebody give me a job before I start opening panels and improving whatever the hell's inside.


[ is she serious? she very well could be, so throw her a bone here, yeah? ]

[ Oh, it's a valid question all right. Rich is facepalming at that fact, more than the question itself. ]

Yeah, I'm a space cop and it's been a busy few years.

And I think somewhere close to 2010? I don't really spend a lot of time on Earth recently, you kinda lose track.
brassbucket: (Listen)

Thanks!

And, well. I know in one possible future, our universe was kind of swallowed by another one, so maybe that counts. In another, most of the universe was destroyed by the Badoon, Earth included. I'm gonna guess there's a future where Annihilus won, and, um. Yeah, there are futures for many options.

Just none of them have happened yet. I think up to 2013? 2014? Going by stories from friends who are or were here.
brassbucket: (Easy)

text; not a problem!

Yeah, I will.

And, um. Different possible futures is sort of easier to deal with when you've been in a different possible - or altered - present or two. I've had a weird life, what can I say.

Always happy to be of assistance, even if it's just putting things in perspective.
