Someone really needs to tell these guys that two wrongs don’t make a right. Going “you killed my people, so I’m gonna have to kill your people” is the sort of thing that leads to everybody being dead and the world a radioactive shithole. Like, seriously, we’ve gotta give these folks some tales to read about the evils of senseless revenge. Like the Oresteia. Or Grognak the Barbarian #6: Enter Maula: War Maiden of Mars. They can call it karma or cosmic balance or whatever, but a blood feud by any other name smells as fragrantly corpse-like. Yum.
So now that that’s out of the way...
I don’t know a thing about these people, or about their resources, and planning a strategy without any intel at all is a bitch. I figure a lot of people are probably in the same spaceboat as me, so let’s talk about it. No matter what team you’ve been assigned to or what plans we make, intel is way useful, so let’s have some. You guys who met these people before, what are they like? What do they believe in? What motivates them most? Money? Ego? Ideals? You people with the scanning stuff, what’s their ship like? Can we get a layout? Tech whizzes, what kind of technology are we facing here? And what kind of tech can we bring to bear?
That last bit, about our resources, don’t post about it over the network.
By the way, to my fellow offensive pals, three wrongs don’t make a right either. Offense doesn’t mean the same thing as violence and if we can do this non-violently that’d be awesome.

Assuming we don't die soon--which is a thing I hope for most of the time--I'll hit you up for that.

[He probably shouldn't be making light, but it's not as if he's not taking this seriously.]
Anyway, yeah, hoping this thing gets solved with as little violence as possible. Can't say I'm super optimistic, though.

So what's your plan if things do turn violent? Do you hold to principles of non-violence and flower power at them or shoot them in the face with a 10mm?
no subject
[Which is actually what William has been doing, truthfully.]
10mm. Or in my case, a railroad spike. [Or maybe .308.] Don't get me wrong, I would prefer a non-violent solution, but these are people out for revenge - for blood. I know the likelihood of this not turning violent is about as likely as a Deathclaw giving you a friendly hug instead of trying to bite your head off.
