Re: Would you join the Andromeda Initiative?

Couch potatoes are needed in any society, we are the pinnacle of evolution and the reason why b-movies exist. We share our wisdom in a plethora of fora while demanding very little for our efforts.

    Yea but there's only one couch in Andromeda, and Liam has it.

  • Why spend time here in the forum when there's something similar in real life? It may not be 2 million light-years away, but it shares the same thing: Permanent settlement on Mars. Off you go! :D

    Who would want to live on Mars? Sucky rock planet with in my opinion very little interest, dont know why folks are so obsessed by it. Maybe because its the only viable rock in our solar system we can possibly settle, living in the clouds on Venus just sounds too farfetched. Oooh .. and there is that ice/water moon ... can´t remember the name.

    But Mars? .... not enough gravity either.

  • The gravity is considered to be sufficient by many people. I guess you need to wait for the other like what, 30 potential habitable planets but Mars is close to happening. I would have signed have up since it's in my country, were it not for me still being a student.

    well.. it would get you out of your moms basements..

    me personally.. no! not sitting there for 30+ years waiting for bioware to release 1.0.6 (which incidentally im starting to think is a myth).

  • Well, unless they invented a space elevator, I dont think I can leave earths atmosphere without getting a heart attack lol...  Dont thinkI will pass any physical exam for the initiative, Mars, anything more than being a passenger on a plane, without much turbulence...  lol

    I'm with you. If you'll make those H-047c jumps, and keep us out of the chasm, I'll ride in the back and whoop.

    C'mon. Take me. I have to be a better companion option than Liam. 🙂

    I promise I won't get in front of you every time you shoot.

    Let's make it real, shall we? http://www.mars-one.com/

    This is the real deal, going to Mars as a one-way trip and not very far in the future (Planned departure for humans in 2031).

    BUT many brought them, including kids, moms and multiple moms with fatal diseases. We'd wrangle them on board for you somehow. I know a Turian who can work all sorts of deals. 🙂

    Well to answer the question: If I don't get a life-time supply of coffee to go along with it, the deal is definitely off.

    Not kidding.

    If my family was going, I would go with them because I wouldn't want to be left behind. I doubt I would be the one to instigate it though! Not with my agoraphobia and panic disorder irl! 😂😂

    Also the moment a planet was decently viable I would probably step foot on it and stay there. Plenty of places to hide on a planet but once a ship or space station goes boom thats it. Lol

    Even IF I knew the Reapers were coming leaving would be a difficult concept. That's leaving behind everything, your job, friends, family, that hot girl at the coffee shop. Hell if you were military and went THERE IS NO ALLIANCE presence...NONE. So yeah..idk it's something to think about.

    Myself and a group of friends one day sat down and had a thought, "We choose universes to go to and write out our bio, essentially get to tweak some things about ourselves physically and so and so." After I got done harping on a friend for wanting us to go through Zelda...(mind you it's every game or whatever for that universe) and the TES games, I brought up Mass Effect and a few others I can't remember at this moment. Anyway I explained to them how Mass Effect Universes would be amazing to live in and such. So the ME universe was going to be last because that's the one i wanted and it was deemed the most eccentric. Anyway we started talking about it and a few of us drew up characters with backstories for the ME universe. Once I got asked about mine I told them, "I'm going to be crossing sections of lore that probably shouldn't be fecked with." So I explained to them, <Insert Name here> is a "human" Biotic adept in the systems Alliance. Hot headed etc, and then I got to the lore crossing. Was altered at birth with a combination or Turian and Krogan genes to see if something could be done about the Krogan breeding issues (genophage). Unfortunately what they did was create a master in the sense that, they gave someone human Krogan Bloodrage with the tactical mind or a Turian...and the human will. His biotics were also pretty similiar to Cora's that his emotions made them that much more intense. He was also birthed by a Krogan mother. (throws confetti for llore tearing), with several Krogan and Turian variables present in his bodily make up. "Slightly denser skin than a human, minor redundant nervous system." Dude was an experiment with a cold calculated mind and a fiery temper. Who right before the actual invasion of the Reapers goes through Vanguard training...yeah..high risk high reward for days.

    ^ now that seems broken as *, but that's how it was and we all got to do weird things...you should've seen the Asari Quarian girl one of them came up with was interesting. Anyway back on topic.

    IF I had all of that going on and everything else that I wrote down then I'm not sure really. However after the Reapers are expelled, destroyed, or whatever...I think he'd still refuse to go. If hackett gave him an order he'd probably say something regarding a quad, followed by being drugged and throw into a ship heading there AFTER the others had left. He'd probably arrive with the others roughly about the same time the Quarians did....with at least a company of Alliance and other Soliders to at LEAST have some form of a REAL fighting force, other than the Krogan.

    So it's a toss up really, depends on if the others wanted to experience ME:A and such. ALso sorry for the rambling, but thanks for the read.
