It turns out that searching for asteroids and crashing them onto your planet is hard and time consuming. Also, you need a lot of them. Alex suggests you use your spaceship’s lasers to heat up the asteroids and get the melting process started.
“That was lot of work.”
Alex shrugs, “it’s the optimal method with our current materials.”
“What’s next,” you ask him.
Just as he begins speaking a warning claxon sounds and large red letters appear on your screen. “ENEMIES APROACH”.
“Enemies?”
Alex sighs and nods solemnly. “The turtilians are approaching.”
“Turtilians?”
“They are part of the anti-humanity coalition.”
“The anti-humanity coalition?”
“They think humans look funny and shouldn’t be allowed to spread to new planets.”
What do you do?
[[Shoot lasers at the enemy ship.]]
[[Open a communication channel]]
[[Run Away.]] You turn the laser strength dial up to maximum and use the aiming system to target the incoming ship. When you have them targeted you press the fire button and the lasers hit the enemy ship. For a minute nothing seems to happen and then the ship fires back.
YOU DIE.
[[try again ->Enemies]] You press a button and a man sized turtle appears on the screen. “Hi, my name is Steve and I’m hiding from the anti-humanity-coalition.”
You and Alex look at each other and Alex whispers, “ask him why”.
“Why?”
“They don’t approve of my pro-humanity political stance. Can I stay here?”
You think for a minute, trying to decide what to say.
“I have cargo bays full of water that might speed up your terraforming process,” says Steve.
Alex nods excitedly. “Water is very important.
“Okay, Steve, you can stay”
(+50 XP)
THIS IS THE END OF THIS SECTION OF THE GAME
Run Away.
You point the ship away and escape orbit, running as fast as you possibly can.
You live to see another day, but you are out of the terraforming contest and must find another way to make a living after this.
