an explosion so big they can see it from earth.

[That goal is completely acceptable and also hilarious to imagine.]

[Alexandria]

I'm thinking find the planets biggest power production system then overload it, if they are as advanced as I think they are then it should have the " oh god what did I just do.... can I do it again? " effect.

Followed by every living being on the planet coming after me.



Come to think of it, what else can my ammo maker make? If it can make the explosive charge for rockets could it be used to make more refined explosives? In brick form like C4? Only much much stronger.

[Ross Vernal]

[You can make plastiques, yes.]

[Alexandria]

Nice, I'm gonna need quite a lot of it a bit later, I have a nice way to signal any other survivors in the area.


Do we have any special codes for communications or something like that for us to use to communicate with other survivors before we reach the rally point and see how many others made it?
Like special comm channels? Or a special kind of code similar to morse code?

[Sadly, that won't work. Kai use fusion power plants, which are decidedly non explosive. In fact, they're more likely to implode than explode. This counts for pretty much every type of power generation in existence, save for Matter-Antimatter annihilation plants, or the very first drafts of nuclear fission plants. Sadly, the first is actually a net energy consumer*, and hence won't be build. The second is practically impossible, and a very bad idea.

*Particle arcelerators require lots of energy, and you need them to make the antimatter

Unless, of course, they decide to run them on tropes.]

Actually, I think it might be more interesting to visit the terraforming installation. It should have decent comms equipment, and it's nuclear generator might still be functional.* Also, have any of you ever heard of the Osterhagen Project?

*First gen terraformer + lot's of power use = Nuclear is the only option

[Three things. One, what would we do with a nuclear power plant. Two, how much power does a smoke factory need. And three, there is psychicness. Don't try and be physics. Physics and psychics look alike, but can't stand each other.]

[Oh, and you forgot Explosive Power Generators. Those are explosive by nature, but are usually pretty small. They're like ammo for laser weapons.]

Implosions aren't massive. If you're lucky, you can manage to knock out the reactor itself.

((OOC: That has just given me an idea. You know that massive manufacturing plant? you know you said it could make 'pretty much anything'?

Could it make...oh, i dont know, several dozen thermonuclear bombs?

Which we could then use to cause havoc?))

[10ebbor10]

[It needs to have the materials. Fissile materials are pretty rare. Though well, maybe we could salvage some power supply generators.

We could use it to solve all our power needs, salvage it to make a dirty bomb, or trigger a runaway reaction(meltdown). It won't leave a big mark, but it will release quite a bit of radiation, and give those below something to think about.

Lots. Basically, the only thing a tier one terraforming plant has to work with are the underground, and the icelayers and gasses locked within. I assume that it works by melting the ice, running the result through the reactor(where it splices into oxygen and hydrogen), and then venting those into the surroundings. Needs quite a lot of temperature if you want to make a dent in the temperatures in the next 10 000 years.

And well yes, but those hardly make very big explosion. In general, power reactors focus on a controlled release of energy.

I like realism. A lot. It allows me to make big assumptions like those above.

((Everybody is making plans for explosions and I'm trying to think of where a good place to make a cave would be.))

[Rolepgeek]

[I like realism too. But...psychic aliens. Who are able to be psychic with humans. Physics just had an aneurysm. And we don't have power problems yet. And, this being Sci Fi, I can be pretty sure there'll be a reactor of some sort in the holdfast, too.]

[10ebbor10]

It's more likely to use a smaller reactor, or maybe use solar.

[kahn1234]

((OOC: i think, based on the time period, all human technology would probably be based on Nuclear Fusion, with maybe solar and wind powering small self sufficient places like holdfasts. Still, it might be best to go to a holdfast first. We need supplies. and RAW.

Also, how far terraformed is Mars? is the atmosphere breathable?)).

IC:

To be honest, I'd rather hit as many places as possible. We need RAW and supplies, but preferably RAW. I'd prefer to hit the terraforming station first. and then everywhere else that might be of use. Hell, we could also see if we can infiltrate the manufacturing plant and commandeer some of the machinery to build some things that can go boom. It would at least give the Xeno's a headache....
