[ erik wastes time with being silent for however many precious seconds it takes for him to gather his skirts. ]

why was this ship created

[eripui]

Colonization. They hoped to reach another system with planets that could support human life.

[sorrycharles]

were they anticipating resistance

[eripui]

They were travelling into the unknown. The ship was designed and prepared for every eventuality that could be thought of.

[sorrycharles]

so humans designed the most powerful warship that could be thought of and set it out to sea in innocence

unknowing

with hope in their hearts

why the push for colonization

[eripui]

I'm not sure how much you know about this system, if you are from other universes as you've stated.

Sustaining the population was beginning to put a strain on our resources, and the hope was to find habitable planets to supplement them.

[sorrycharles]

we know what we've been told

how are the existing colonies faring without that hope

[eripui]

I don't know that I can say accurately. I haven't been home for a long time.

[sorrycharles]

and how long is that

[eripui]

It's been 15 years, now.

How long have you been on the Tranquility?

[sorrycharles]

i don't know.

two or three years.

why does it matter

[eripui]

We don't know what information may matter or not. We know so little about what is happening on the ship, we can't rule anything out as being unimportant.

[sorrycharles]

i'm willing to wager you have quite the snapshot

why don't you tell me what you do know

[eripui]

Because that would be an inefficient use of our limited time. As I've said, I'm happy to answer any questions you may have, but I cannot simply dump our data down this connection. It's too unstable.
