The Old-Evolution-Mind control fungus!

Counter-Evolution-No mind control fungus!

[blackmagechill]

Name Rocky planet close to the sun Jove. The story of Jove was the old testament right?

[ragnarok97071]

I think you mean Job.
Jove is Zeus.

[breadbocks]

I was in The Writings, so perhaps. But if you count the Haftara and The Writings along with the Torah, there are so many more epic names than Job.

[blackmagechill]

I think you mean Job.
Jove is Zeus.

Right, I wasn't thinking for some reason.

[Argonnek]

I propose a new ship:

• Name: Firewitch
• Propulsion: Cavorite cores
• Extras: Cavorite-powered gravatic pulse cannons
  Built in orbit, cannot land
  landing seeds of some sort
  black-hole travel.

This doesn't have to be built immediately, but will become very useful when we expand into the universe.

Also, a warning: We NEED to invent some form of communication that does NOT rely on radio waves. The star, as well as the gas giants create an immense amount of noise on the radio frequency. Exploring the outer solar system will be confusing at best if we don't develop a superior form of communication.

I'd thought we were already like the buggers from Ender's Game. Ansible technology built in.

[Derekristow]

Sorry about that, didn't see that you had already launched a prospector.  Ignore my previous post.

[Lillipad]

Ah, Jethro, the great beige-ish, but almost kind of green doom in space.
Name the gas giant Mip.
Do we have a ship to scan for life yet?

[breadbocks]

Name the gas giant Mip.

Sorry, bud. Beat you to it. Named it Hephestus, which completely ignored our Old Testament naming scheme.

[Lillipad]

We have two gas giants breadbocks.

[breadbocks]

The second one is named Joshua. The first planet is name Caleb. The Sun is Caanan.

[Lillipad]

We have a planet named canon in a thread we've broken canon in literally dozens of times?

[breadbocks]

No, not canon. Caanan. And it's the Sun, not a planet.

[Lillipad]

I was making a very unfunny play on words, mind you it was very, very, very unfunny.

New ship: Astronomical Orb Weaver.
Sources: Spider, Squid, Flame Spitter, Strangler Fig, Algae.
Power source: Solar(Algae).
Matter Source: carry massive quantities of matter between their elongated legs.(Spider)
Propulsion: Steam jets(Squid, Flame Spitter).
Body design: Giant hollow spider(spider).
Specific: Webbing, spider webs with implanted seeds. Seeds sprout and produce moderately rigid plant matter. Original threads are often coated with additional webbing to create layers of webbing and plant matter.(Fig, Spider, Algae)
Function: Extraterrestrial architecture.


Launch a fleet of these to the star Canon and construct a ring around it. Make it at right-angles to our orbit, so that it does not permanently eclipse our light source...


Create a strain of biters that project jets of flaming methane.
Send digging millipedes deep under the moon's surface to produce underground caverns with oxygen.
Create a tree that sends roots into deep caverns. They derive chemicals from the caverns and energy from the surface. They transmit energy to the caverns and can spawn creatures from their roots.



New tree: Unreality Drive.
Collects and stores vast amounts of solar energy. Then unleashes it all instantly around a sealed pod by way of bioluminescence. By creating impossible concentrations of energy the space within ceases to exist. The pod then wills itself and its contents back into existence at an alternate location. Due to unfortunate side-effects, these trees are not permitted within an astronomical unit of important resources, and all light-sensitive apparatus should be heavily shielded prior to activation.


Construct an observation complex beyond our planet's atmosphere and chart the visible universe for valuable star systems.
