Charismatic, try Blue Planet: Age of Aquarius... Then you will know...

And about the Sathanases... So they "barbecued" the Capella system and many of themselves... Berserk mode?

Which brings me to this: Is it you, ships, or Shivans hate us so much to try to wipe us out?

Psyche test: You've met a lone Hasteshpsut and it's not attacking you... If you would have some means of communication, would you use it? What would you do after?
How do you kill a hydra?

You starve it to death.

Do the Shivans, do they try and take you out on joy flights or anything weird like that?, pick up other Shivans.. and stuff...

Is there a particular reason why the Shivans like red?, and would you like to be.. painted (?) a different colour?

1. The Sathanases are like that. So yes, it could be said they went into berserk mode.

2. It's ...varied. I just treat it as any other job. It's probably the Shivans who hate you, but I don't know - some of them might not. I'd have to ask them. Most of us spaceships just tend to oblige in their requests in exchange for maintenance.

3. Communicate and try to learn something from the experience. And afterwards... Do whatever I was doing beforehand, I suppose?

1. Occasionally, they do. Sometimes a group of Shivans onboard want to go see a nebula or two, so I take them there.

2. Shivans simply.... glow red. No reason to not continue making things glow red, I imagine. I wouldn't mind glowing blue instead of red, though.

Are dragons and scorpions sapient?
By experience they do annoying **** that warrants having a brain.

I've got yet to meet a sapient Dragon or Scorpion, but they tend to be quite intelligent. Still not close to being sapient, but they're around the level of one of those ...toddlers I hear about. Or those crow things.

Shivans? Society? Hobbies? Politics?... Culture? I don't think they are even to able to think about stuff like this. Shivans probably don't have individual consciousness and characters.

To say the least.... it's very complex. Given that I've been to several different universes, each of which has often had varying differences among the local Shivans, it can be stated that trying to pin one particular description on the whole of Shivan "society" would be missing the point.

The Shivans are strange, like all you small people seem to be, and they possess multiple societies - each of which has it's own variations and differences. For instance, the Shivans I'm "used", i.e the Shivans of whom who do maintenance on my systems and who I have a contract with are not quite like you Terrans and Vasudans, but they do possess "likes" and hobbies. On a separate note, a Shivan isolated from "mainstream" society occasionally develops... quirks. Carl would be one of those Shivans.

And then there's those "Blue Planet" Shivans, who appear to be mostly mindless, except for those Animae who give me jobs sometimes.

If you were to suddenly lose your Shivan crew, if humans and/or Vasudans were to board, would you try to communicate peacefully an try to get them to perform repairs and maintenance? Or would you attempt to space them and go back to Shivan space?

Hallucinogens. In other words, (please don't kill me...) LSD.




Or more likely, over active imaginations.

... after they opened the blue people's spinny thing and shot at us.

Is the Blue Man Group in fact undercover Ancients?

That's.... a good question. Unfortunately I've never seen one of the blue people for myself, I only know that they apparently glow blue and have reflective blue "skin". Just like their ships. Might be a coincidence of some sort.

Re: so yeah guys i wanted to tell you something
Also, as a side note, I've never seen "faces" in any of the nebulas I've been to. Are the participants of that thread's optical sensors malfunctioning in some way?

Re: so yeah guys i wanted to tell you something
From what i know, they're not malfunctioning... possibly overfunctioning :)
It seems that the fault is in their neural system architecture, making them see the paterns...

and...

Do Shivans like nebulae? Are nebulas something special for them?
How do you kill a hydra?

They certainly like the aesthetics of nebulae, that's for sure.

Does it disturb you some terrans have found ways to hijack you and utilize your beamz at their leisure?

Are you sure that they just didn't hack into my storage and retrieve a recording of me shooting at a Hatshepsut and a Deimos?  :nervous:

You mentioned earlier that you hadn't fought a Hatshepsut. Is this a new development?

Probably a simulation  :blah:

Any ideas if Carl was on holidays recently?

It was a simulated training exercise.

Carl keeps talking to me about a "Christmas" every now and then. I am aware that it is some sort of time in which the mercantile forces on your home planet lower the prices of everything, and that you Terrans are apparently obligated to wear strange hats during this period.

I wonder how many times Carl has visited your home planet for this ...event?
