[Look Abel can teleport spaceships with his feelings, there is a lot he accepts he doesn't quite understand.]
I can't really agree with the idea that there's a god that dictates what happens to me and the people around me, we all make choices after all. 'The Devil Made Me Do It' isn't a viable excuse.
Not that your friend is crazy. I know of people who hear voices as well, translate vibrations from a piece of technology that transmits signals across galaxies. They're not quite divine though, they're more... angry righteousness.
they're pretty real! we've fought a few and one nearly drowned us in the sea as the king he's supposed to get their favor in order to fulfill a uh prophecy
[well, okay, remembering the prophecy is depressing stuff.]
not that they're actively granting miracles or anything
I never said they weren't real, what the women at MOTHER hear is just as real as what we're doing right now.
Does he get their favor by fighting them, though? It seems like a better idea to just talk things out and reach an agreement, it might last longer than just the lifespan of one king.
[This sounds like one of those 'tradition' things.]
Alright... interesting system, but everyone's universe seems vastly different for good reasons.
It's a thing, yes. The Colterons, the alien people who came to Mars and started attacking the colonies, we recovered some of their technology and were doing research on it when we realized it had an interesting property: women with children were able to feel and hear the overwhelming righteous rage coming into this device from across lightyears of space. They were able to hear and interpret the emotions that were coming from the device, so a coalition of these women formed MOTHER-- probably our most important information-gathering arm in the war.
everyone's universe seems really complicated by what you're telling me i'm sure all this makes a lot more sense with context but right now it all seems really fantastical you know?
One, no, I wouldn't recommend touching a star, it's a burning ball of gas. Does Eos have a sun? Stars are basically suns, but most are smaller and obviously much further away.
Two, I personally have never had cause to be inside a nebula, but I imagine some of them would be beautiful.
Three, no. If you could live long enough to scream into space, no one would hear it. Sound moves through molecules to reach our ears, in empty space there are no molecules for the sound to move through.
Aerospace was sort of my specialty at the Academy and after, so I'm happy to tell you about anything you like. Maybe even give a definitive answer to those hypotheticals-- at least, as my Earth and I understand them.
i'll have to think on the hypotheticals later although i don't think they matter much here? i should study what space exploration is like on this earth i guess don't think we'll ever expand upwards back in eos anyway
[what with a literal gods-sent disaster waiting to happen and his best friend meant to die— it's fine.]
will you look into that stuff when we're back in NA? there are colonies or something in one of the planets mars?
