NationStates Jolt Archive

I was looking at the promos for 'The Day the Earth Stood Still' and I was wondering if anybody here on the NS community would like to RP an alien invasion. It wouldn't effect any of the involved countries after the RP was over and wouldn't effect the aforementioned countries' involvment in other threads. I'd also prefer that it be MT or early PMT. However, if an FT nation would like to RP a strange, new alien race that's invading Earth then contact me and we can work out a story-line of why you're coming to Earth and it won't have to be your nation.

Anyways, the roles I need are:

The first invaded country: Ursava.
Other countries/countries helping the first country: Unlimited.
The alien invaders: 1.

I would love to be the alien invaders.

What kind of invasion first of all, and what are the aliens like

Well, the invasion would be all-out "OH MY GOD, UFOS!" for most of the time but I was thinking it could be subtle at first, like the invading country (me) captures a friendly alien who says Earth is going to be invaded. I need The Beatus to work out what type of aliens they'll be.

Beatus, I sent you a telegram.

Can I join? If so I'll be supporting the invaded country.

Yeah, okay.

can i join?

Sure. You'd have to be a nation aiding the invaded country (the first to be invaded anyways: me).

I'm interested in supporting the human race. Though, are these aliens exactly like the movie(s) and will there be robots?

No, according to Beatus they will look relatively human but capable of regenaration...and obviously much smarter given their predicted technology. How advanced they are exactely he has yet to tell me.

Regeneration? But if I happen to decapitate one would it grow another head? What about organs? Relatively the same or not?

Ask Beatus.

I'm signing up to help the humans.

Regeneration? But if I happen to decapitate one would it grow another head? What about organs? Relatively the same or not?

When I say regeneration, I'm talking, arms, and legs mainly. Decapitation, no, severs the brain, from the heart. Regeneration, requires A. blood pumped from the heart, and B. a single from the brain, indicating it is necessary. Now, to completely replace internal organs, such as livers and kidneys, yes but it would take a few hours, and render the alien unconscious, where as arms and legs, would be quicker, and be less of a physical drain on the body. Bullet wounds, that do not hit any major organs, would be rather quick, and take the least energy to repair, if major organs are damaged, than again, it would be a much longer and energy consuming process. Also, it would make them hungry, the intensity of which would vary with the intensity of the wound being repaired. If this explains things. Probably won't be any robots, the aliens find them primitive.
