"I dont know... We might. If we all invested in it at the same time, thats over 3 trillion dollars invested in it. You can do a lot with that kind of money. Even in such a short amount of time."

((Took some liberties with budget there. I assumed we are all multi-billion dollar companies, which is probably true...))

[AoshimaMichio]

"Keep in mind you can ask for helping hand from these oppressors of ours. I don't know how much they will help, but it might be enough to bypass some monetary or technological challenges."

((Yep, turnover of your company would be from 10 to 300 billion USD. I need to figure out those numbers before second phase.))

"Yes, we could invest all our money into this, and hire the best minds, in aeronautics, and rocket science, but we still must have a back up plan, but does anybody have an idea?"

"...To be frank, were we to follow that scenario, it would likely be more effective to ask for technology sufficient that the survivors could seek out and terraform a new world in another star system, as the destructive force of such an impact would render any resulting body uninhabitable, even if it were to emerge largely intact."

[AoshimaMichio]

((I rolled revenue/profit numbers for your companies after doing some research. Feel free to complain give feedback.))

[AoshimaMichio]

((Damn quote buttons...))

"I would still prefer the deluge - especially if it leaves no land at all to inhabit. Planetary collision feels contrived and completely lethal 100% of the time. Not to mention that we haven't got the technology to construct a lifeboat, either."

"On the other hand, there is a certain charm to the lifeboat idea. Imagine us, five corporate CEOs, and probably also Mr. Andersson, leading the remnants of humanity to a nearby star and establishing civilizations based on our dearest values after we make planetfall. Throw clinical immortality into the mix and, well, starts to sound almost pleasant, does it not?"

((I rolled revenue/profit numbers for your companies after doing some research. Feel free to complain give feedback.))

((Korir's kind of on the poor side. Just the way I like it, honestly.))

"I have never seen myself in my visions of future, so I'm inclined to think that I'll probably die within next tree years."

((Yeah, apparently agricultural business isn't in very big money. But keep in mind that those numbers belong to your business, personal wealth is whole another round of numbers.))

[Harry Baldman]

"Oh. My condolences, Mr. Andersson. I suppose it was too much to expect to allow the evil gods to let a man who can see the future stick around with the doomed."

[AoshimaMichio]

"Worry not, Korir, I'm actually glad to die before the end comes. I certainly don't envy you and those who have to live and die through the apocalypse."

[Flying Dice]

"Mm... Andersson, you should not be so fatalistic. The future is eternally in flux, and you yourself have admitted that it has already shifted from your first vision.

"In any case, I move that we vote on this first scenario: apocalypse by global flood. If you would do the honors, Oracle?"

[AoshimaMichio]

"Certainly, Mr. Rasmussen. The proposed scenario is global flood. Those in favor please raise your hand. If you are against, then please propose another scenario."

[Harry Baldman]

"I would agree with that scenario, naturally," says Korir, raising his hand.

[Peradon]

"I do not agree. We cant know if the water will ever subside. If it doesnt, we will be as good as dead."

"However, even then, the people high up in the mountains would survive." Priya raises her hand.
