[Scoops Novel]

All you know is that you're being chucked into a sci-fi setting, tricked out in a manner that suits you.

What would you like?

[MrRoboto75]

 

[Frumple]

just gimme that isekai system loadout and praise hypnotoad, because the setting probably won't be for very long

alternatively, just provide one golden thumb and we're good

... alternatively alternatively, one multiversal teleporter set to Culture or somethin', a multiverse scanning e-book reader, and an implant or whatever that lets me run multiple synch'd up copies of myself -- to hell with whatever rando sci-fi setting you're sending me to, I'm going to AI ran glorious post-scarcity space heaven and then I'm going to read incessantly and in parallel for the next few centuries

[King Zultan]

I want a lightsaber, a gun, and a robot horse, so I can join the space cavalry!

[Quarque]

I'm a sucker for somewhat realistic sci fi where it takes hundreds of years to travel to another star if it is nearby, making space colonies extremely isolated and hard to have any control over.

[MaxTheFox]

Let's see.

I'd prefer being in the Culture, of course, but as someone who is making a worldbuild, whatever entity is about to dimension-warp me is going to send me to my own setting (which is mostly hard SF except for FTL being a thing). Assuming I end up in its "present", 2230, I'd... well I'd enjoy a humanity that got over its bigotry issues, proceed to genemod myself into an anthro fox, then uhhh... get an education all over again and then just vibe for the rest of my life. Maybe be a space tourist to alien worlds.

[Starver]

...one in which I can maintain myself (in a benevolent manner, I hasten to add) as a continuing mind-in-a-box, long after my implanted neuro-electronic interface has itself outlived my original organic self. Perhaps it would be nice to have partial personalities working independent of me (but to my own agenda), but not to the (at one time) same degree as Lobsang or as an attempt to become the controlling/guiding mind for the planet/system/galaxy/world. (Though, no doubt, if I could do this then so could others, and some less initially altruistic - hence why I would have to CRUSH ALL OTHER ATTEMPTS carefully monitor the situation and try to nudge matters TOWARDS THE BETTER FUTURE!!!! along more equitable paths of progress...)

[Vector]

I'd go for fully automated luxury space communism and sit around reading books, drinking tea, and tending my plants. Maybe after like a hundred years I'd do something useful, but right now I just want a soothing, relaxing rest.

[Bralbaard]

Just give me a towel

All you know is that you're being chucked into a sci-fi setting, tricked out in a manner that suits you.

What would you like?

This is contradictory, for what suits me is not necessarily what I would like.

What suits me is Standard Stormtrooper gear and orders to eliminate rebel scum.
What I would like is a small ship loaded with weapons and ton of rum.

I can do flying a jetpack tipsy shouting about questionable politics.

[Great Order]

Oh fuck yeah, I get to live in a Culture-like world. I get me a body of the opposite sex that's built as such from the ground-up rather than being as close as we can get with modern technology, and I get to fuck about until I do everything I want to do then either die of my own accord or sublime as an individual and become one with the higher-dimensional reality!

[Loud Whispers]

If I could reach for any sci-fi, and there were no limitations whatsoever, I think I would reach for a setting where I end up grabbing so much whilst losing so much along the way - which is very sci-fi appropriate. Like achieving clinical immortality or joining a hive mind whilst losing the self, or traveling across the stars without number and forever redefining your relationship with the wide wide world
