I dunno... is it important to the discussion?

I mean even if the aliens aren't that powerful... typically the fact that they can fight us from space... from perfect safety... pretty much dooms us.

What part of "psionics trump all non-psionic weapons" aren't you understanding? Our psionic humans will simply generate light-barriers to protect our cities from the alien spaceship weapons. All we have to fear are the superior alien psionics, and then only if we don't have power-up vials to make our psionics stronger than theirs.

[Strife26]

It's fine, we'll just use DU dust to counteract psionic fields.

Yeah more powerful than... But, for example, a laser hits us faster than we can respond.

Or they could pump a toxin into our atmosphere... or throw asteroids down on us so our entire earth is covered in a thick crust blotting out the sun and killing our fields.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

No, no, no, you don't use dense materials to disrupt psionics, you keep a bunch of people on LSD drips in hidden compartments around so the psionic accidentally reads their minds and starts hallucinating.

[Strife26]

It's not the density, it's the carcinogenic and pyrophoric properties.

[Frumple]

If you're going to go through all that trouble, why not set everything on fire? Aliens can't catch you if the atmosphere is on fire, and everyone knows the cure to all space magic is space napalm. All problems solved.

[Azzuro]

Look, all you need to do is build a few Psi-Labs, hire enough rookies to fill them, then just turtle up for 2-3 months and ignore the missions with psionic aliens. If you absolutely have to do a mission with enemy psionics or India signs a pact with the aliens, just land, blindfire two rockets out of the Skyranger, and dust off.

Hypothetical continuation!

Okay, so, assuming you've beaten the aliens, you now have quite a bit of new technology and biology to analyze. What will you do now? Will you lead humanity to the stars? Will you take control over Earth permanently? Will you try to discover how psionics work? What will you do?

Hypothetically, say that you're shitposting on Bay 12 in a thread started by Neonivek about a hypothetical situation, and as you read through the posts you eventually come across a scenario posted by DPRK Threadlord and sexy beast MetalSlimeHunt, where he gets all weird about the thread's purpose and acts self-aggrandizing like he always does.

How do you respond?

[Egan_BW]

Like this.

How do you respond?

I use the advanced knowledge gained from the aliens to annihilate the entire Korean peninsula, most of Indonesia, Hawaii and all the other Pacific Islands, a large portion of China, Japan, half of Australia (the shit half with nothing in it), a significant chunk of Africa, and then MSH's house in wherever he lives, just for good measure. I then lead the remaining human population into space to conquer everything in the universe. >.>

All of the above!

Who died and made us king?

You did, if you oppose my glorious and enlightened rule. The tragedy of our times, but necessary if we want to create the world of the future that I we want to have.

Mostly ignore him in favor of expounding on how I intend to pervert the most recent hypothetical to conquer the Solar System, pausing to speak self-referentially in response to the above.

Wait wait wait, hold up a second there. People live in Australia? Why? Why would anyone do that? Who thought that was a good idea? What led someone to thinking that was wise?

New hypothetical: you've discovered a godless, forsaken continent to the south with strange and hostile wildlife. Can you imagine any reason to colonize this barren landmass that isn't an extended form of mass-suicide? And if so, how?

I respond to the prompt as presented, while silently judging Bay12's own representative of the glorious Korean People's Juche North Korea for harming the his cause with such shameless egotism.
