The Old-Evolution-Mind control fungus!

Counter-Evolution-No mind control fungus!

[USEC_OFFICER]

You would burn the methane to create CO₂ and then shoot plants over there. I was jsut checking for the starcraft thing if there'd be some cameo about that or something.

That, that actually makes sense.

Mind you, the moon doesn't have enough gravity to support an atmosphere.

[FuzzyZergling]

Search the moons of unnamed giant #1 (Would Hephestus be a good name?) for a moon large enough to anchor an atmosphere.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Good news, one does.

EDIT: Are the unknown life-forms going to stop us from going to UGG2? They are near there. (Sorry that I didn't say that before)

[FuzzyZergling]

We shall first create a habitable outpost on this moon, perhaps?

[USEC_OFFICER]

You think a bit about launching some seed pods at JETHRO's moon, but decide that you'll need some way to extract some gases. After all, the moon doesn't have much in the first place, nor does it have a large enough gravity to support a large enough atmosphere if you brought gases to it.

[Evergod41]

A) Fuck our moon, it sucks

B) Methane to Sista Planet, henceforth called Jethra

C) Develop Sub-Space Communications

D) Send a split of us to Jethra, immediately spawn plants and crab-carriers to spead them

E) Do B&D to the to-be habitable moon, henceforth called 'New Jethro'

Fa) Grow enough mass on a ship to have enough inertia to not move when firing a B.F.G.
Fb) Grow a B.F.G. on that ship
Fc) Aim it towards the 'life'
Fd) FIRE!

G) Examine where the radio waves are coming from

H) Assimilate survivors

[USEC_OFFICER]

You construct a Prospector Drone and send to the asteroid belt #1. It goes and lands on the largest asteroid in the belt that you can find, which is made of silicon and other light materials, which you can easily make into biomass. Therefore, you tell it to dig. Eventually, you can expand it.

You also begin work on a space station to protect the elevator. You don't have enough resources to finish it, but at least you start making the framework.

Ignoring the unknown life-forms, you connect UGG2 to Hephaestus.

We shall first create a habitable outpost on this moon, perhaps?

You'll need to design a colony ship or something similar.

B) Methane to Sista Planet, henceforth called Jethra

We are waiting for that methane to be pumped. It's going to take a while.

C) Develop Sub-Space Communications

We do have radio communications.

Fa) Grow enough mass on a ship to have enough inertia to not move when firing a B.F.G.
Fb) Grow a B.F.G. on that ship
Fc) Aim it towards the 'life'
Fd) FIRE!

We'll need to head back to a planet with enough materials to build a BFG.

We already named the sister planet Moses, because we will bring life to it! [/naughty euphemism]

Is this what you want?

[breadbocks]

Count number of moons on the Gas Giants. Find out what life is on Joshua (GG2). Name Sun Caanan, and Unnamed Planet #1 Caleb. I will keep as many names as possible from the Old Testament.

[Derekristow]

I support Caanan as sun name, mostly because it sounds like a name that would have been used in Homeworld.

Send a bunch of Prospectors out to the Belt to search for valuable resources, and to establish bases we can use for things later on.  Asteroid flingers specifically.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Count number of moons on the Gas Giants.

Already did that. The numbers posted are final. (Hephaestus has eight, UGG2 has 16)

Find out what life is on Joshua (GG2).

How do you propose we do that? Just float by and check from space, or go deep into the atmosphere?

[breadbocks]

We've a bridge there.

[USEC_OFFICER]

So that we can suck methane out of it. (It looks like we'll have to go deep into the atmosphere then.)

Also, you can have the prospectors, or the colony ship. JETHRO isn't producing enough materials for both.
