Alright guys, listen up. You're teleported to another world somewhere far out into a forest. Assume conditions are close enough to Earth that you can survive and that the planet's inhabitants speak the universal language. You can bring 5 other Urbs, yourself not included. Who do you bring? You need a diplomat for obvious reasons, a brawler in case hostile aliens, a survivalist because forest, another person that can convey the ideas of humans, and lastly, the guy that runs into some situation and gets killed. | ||
1. Dark_Oracle because she knows or is learning German so she'd be good with languages (hopefully?) 2. Love_Child because she's always level-headed and calm about everything so she could lead. 3. ManDude because he's creative and fun to hang with Those are the three that come to mind first, but there may be others. And since we're on this theoretical topic of aliens... If there is other intelligent life in the universe, chances are with almost infinity stars and galaxies in the universe, they exist now and/or have existed prior to us. Also, chances are some forms are much more advanced than we are, so they may have the ability to travel close to the speed of light or build large life-sustaining spacecrafts. So why haven't they visited? Three answers... Perhaps they have, maybe even prior to intelligent life on Earth. Maybe they haven't located Earth yet. Maybe they HAVE located us, or even visited in the past, and we've been deemed hostile or useless. | ||
To wrap those ideas up, there's a chance that aliens are very hostile and it would end in something like it did for Native Americans when settlers came. There's also a chance that hostility and fighting for survival is a very Earthly concept and the aliens are peaceful. However, if they're intelligent enough to locate Earth, another place in the universe with intelligent life, to build a long-term spacecraft, ect. they have also probably noticed the obvious borders, which from they could infer that we are very hostile. There's tons of hypothetical situations that branch off from this subject, like what if eating and drinking is an Earth concept and they can just get into a spacecraft, go unconscious and wake up thousands of years later when they reach Earth? There's also a good possibility that life is so rare that it won't exist anywhere near us in our galaxy, or maybe even in our galaxy, so it would be practically impossible to visit aliens or have them visit us. | ||
