I feel like this game needs a better name, because the current one is kind of dull and undescriptive. Anyone have any suggestions?
"There is an unknown Alien behind this wall, who attempted communication, and lacking knowledge of our docking procedures decided it would be a wonderful idea to cut their way in. I recommended he get back, Since Cutting through our hull is a fast way to get shot before questions can be asked. Hold your fire."You turn back to where the alien is hiding and tell it,
"Ok, you can come out now."The alien lets the wall section drop, sliding out into the corridor. After the usual gun-waving and
"No sudden movements!"-ing, it manages to convince the other soldiers that this was an innocent mistake. Of course, they ask the same question you did, but press for more detail beyond "investigate". Unit 265 demands to know,
"What, exactly, did you come to investigate?"The alien responds,
"We came to investigate [if] your species can be taught [to use] [psychic] abilities, as we can. We did not say so [right away] because many [other species] think [that it is] 'witchcraft', or some such thing."It demonstrates one of its psychic abilities by creating an illusion of a planet with a couple of moons in midair above its head.
"Would any [of the] crew aboard [this] craft [volunteer to] try this experiment?"Command, overhearing the conversation, reminds you,
The primary purpose of this station is to contribute to scientific discovery. At least one of you should participate in this experiment, and all of you should go along, just in case something goes wrong. Units 459 and 576 will hold the fort back here while you are gone.You all look at each other.
Do you want to volunteer, or just go along as backup?
