Meanwhile Ive just had a call from an Agent at the Bad Wolf Agency - a Mr Darvos who was going about the Darkness skillset and a (possible) role with the the Reality Bomb project - you dont have get some desperate Agents calling these days.
However my suspicions were aroused when Mr Darvos then asked for a couple of references from my past - if you could Time Travel Mr Darvos then you would know without asking me !
Old boy Scout trick - works every time.
PS As if you havent guessed - he didnt get back to me.Last edited by AlfredJPruffock; 4 February 2009, 16:29.Comment

Funny isn't it, that the visionaries of space always trot out the old line : "Any sufficiently advanced civilisation able to travel vast distances in space, will undoubtedly be peaceful and full of good intent."
Let's just suppose that we, as humans, finally make it in to interstellar space. Are we suddenly going to start wearing sandals and carrying around "love crystals", in our epic voyage of the stars ?
Or are we, as I suspect, more likely to have military-funded expeditions, with spaceships built that can harness enough destructive power to obliterate small planets, swarming off in to the void looking for new resources to appropriate ?
Military / Scientific expansion or Space Hippies ?
You don't spend billions on a spaceship just to turn it in to an intergalactic tour bus. You want something back, naturally.
Don't assume that alien civilisations that make it in to space are altruistic. Infact the opposite is more likely.Last edited by Board Game Geek; 4 February 2009, 16:32.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Gordon Brown warned the Government could not tolerate the Universe expanding ' in such a reckless manner' and promised prudent yet effective measures would be taken to avoid a reversal of Big Bang.

Does that mean there is something the other side contracting?
If there is something on the other side that is contracting, then should we consider these alien contractors a threat to our market?
We need to stop the alien contractors before the EU makes us employ them. I say we upload a virus to the alien contractors mainframe.
P.S. I've got an ancient DEC Alpha here that has an RS232 port and FORTRAN 77. We might with in with a chance on the virus bit.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment
