Well he said we could do anything... on second thought he is a fan of hard sci-fi so he may not like the Xeon?(I think that's what they're called) or the X universe in general.

Another fan of X! Yay!

I think our goal should be to eventually reach the pinnacle of space engineering: the Xenon Q!

Someone who has random urges to make mog juice isn't exactly going to care about the cost effectiveness of obtaining it.

I think it's the way towns develop now. In the beginning, people move into a town. Then they start producing tables, which results in more and more tables. Soon tables represent a significant portion of the population, they start lobbying for new laws and regulations, putting people to greater and greater disadvantage...

And you run the X thread on the DF forums, I see!  I don't go on the X forums much, except to keep up on the latest Scion Drakhar story.

Xenon

Also, X-games are awesome. To be fair, most (all) of the science in it doesn't make sense, but that's not really a problem. Also, the origin stories of the Xenon , mostly disclosed upon in the encyclopedia, are quite realistic.

That being said, you're not deca, quite a bit smaller even.

We already crashed. Should have made that clear. (Because, basically, there's nothing you could do.)

Look for any self repair system and try to activate it

War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.

Sounds good.  Look for other systems while we're at it, so we have things other than our back-up engines to repair.
