Ok, here is the deal. You are NASA's top astronaut, and with that being so, you are given the chance to colonize another planet, just like earth, and you have to travel through a worm hole to get there. There is just one problem: You can only take so many people(4 others) and a limited ammount of supplies. And seeing as you can't travel back through the worm hole, for some unexplainable purpose, you can't ever go back to Earth. So here is the question:

Who from NS will you take, and what will you take with you?

I would reject the offer.

Huh? No I'm not. What the hell are you talking about? Stop being a troll. :sniper: :mp5:

I would take Liberated New Ireland. Because he's the coolest guy ever. And everyone loves him. Aaaand...

Seriously, I would take Smunkee, German Nightmare, Darknovae, and Tree Hugging Lesbians.... I'm disturbed at how easy it was to pare down the list...

What's the limit on supplies?

Uh....

Any volunteers?

and what will you take with you?

Just like earth, hey? Assuming there is water and living creatures?

Food, fresh water (including purification tablets), guns, tents, a computer, a solar generator, medical supplies, crop seeds...stuff like that.

EDIT - and some primates, so that they can test the toxicity of local flora and fauna. Better them than me, unfortunately.

A girl and a guy so they can reproduce and begin colonisation.

Another girl just for added conversation, and another guy chosen at random. The second girl and guy can be "backup" breeders, and the two girls can be there for talking to. The guys may also come in handy for various things. They'd all have to be avowedly non-religious.

Someone else can organise supplies.

I'll take CToaN, Ruffy, Kanabia and probably someone else I forgot because I should have been in bed hours ago.

A warm blanket for me and lots of chocolate for all.



*goes to bed*

How many holes could you possibly have?!

Is this like Stargate or something? Why only 4? What's on the planet? Where is the planet/system and how far is it from the Terran system? What kind of star does it orbit? Is the star prone to flaring? How close does it orbit the star? Is it a binary system? Does it pass through an asteroid belt on a periodic basis (this could be a big problem)? What kind of geological activity are we talking about? Is there any evidence of alien life or past civilizations? Is the age of the planet known? What about other planets in the system? What's the general climate and what are the regional climates? What's the habitable surface area? How much is mountains, desert, ocean, etc? Will there ever be more people coming later? More supplies?

Reasonable ammounts. like you can't say "Ill take a billions bullets and 200 trucks" and stupid stuff like that. Make it as realistic as possible.

In that case, I'll take a never ending supply of alcohol, chocolate, and the US Constitution.
