Re: Space Voyage #1

Oh I would like to ask, How will justice be handled, in the odd chance that someone does something that is... wrong. What kind of code will the mission go by seeing as we are going to be traversing intrastellar space.

Do we use capitial pushment, will there be hazzing? Are you innocent until proven guilty or guilty until proven innocent?

What kinda on board economy would we maintain? Are we Socialist or Capitialist? Are you my comrades or bussiness partners?

What is the Mission statement, what is our goals?

How would a mutiny be handled? If we were to encounter an alien life form how are we to approach, if we are to approach it? Do we have a prime directive or what?

Mission statement? We don't need no stinkin mission statement! You are hereby declared guilty of taking this journey way too seriously, and hereby ordered to be ejected from the the nearest airlock!

No, wait. If I did that, I would be taking this journey too seriously. Here, have a beer. Go have sex with one of the redshirts while I figure this out.

I propose that we adopt the most enlightened and modern socio-political unit ever invented in the History of Mankind as the model for our ship: the 20th Century University Fraternity House. The ship itself will be augmented with a 21st Century Multi-AI Computer System (MACS) that will ignore the instructions of drunk or stoned crew members, will mercifully zap anyone about to do something really *wrong*, and make sure the beer doesn't get warm.

All decisions will be made by whoever is on the bridge at the time and capable of typing on a keyboard without hurling.

Our <<<MISSION>>> is to Boldly GO. That's it. Anyone think that is to general or vague, go work on it. But if you use the word "synergistically" you will be airlock evacuated, no foolin.

I suggest we take a test run out to the Moon, check out a lander, get used to wearing space suits, work the wrinkles out of the systems, then blast for Mars and check out the Alien Bimbo Detector that I installed in module 42.

Re: Space Voyage #1

I'm just suggesting like a kiddo.

If any wrongdoers happen to be found on the ship, we actively attempt to rehabilitate them on the ship.

The second degree could be putting them in their (room) and locking them in, giving them food, taking away their free beer.

The third and final degree could be... um... walk the plank?

Our <<Mission>> So should you choose to accept, is to racously go to where no fool in his right mind has been before. To seek out new life, leaving no beer undrank, no bottle of pinot noir corked, no Female, whether Alien, human, or android unsatisfied.

You keep talking that way, and you may find yourself in command of the ship.

I propose the term "Justice of the Interstellar Vacuum."


Rac and I could handle it... after all, we'd be training together at this point and would become highly buff and focussed "Enforcers."
