beccaelizabethI went to the pub.
And I got home again at 0015 with a Tesco shop.
:-D
The colony game was fun. People thought of things I'd forgotten and demolished things I'd meant as roadblocks in seconds and asked questions I had no answer to. Also I need to learn physics and how planets work.
... you know, just a tiny bit of research, there...
I did lots of talking and making stuff up. Also there was lemonade. Cheerful now.
I did note that they opted to take a 'study all the things' approach where I'd do an 'assemble a team'. I'm reasonably certain that even a year of studying plumbing would not suit me for a life on another planet. Team is always my answer, rather than try and get my head to cooperate on such a broad brief.
There was also talking about rations and invasive species and a bunch of stuff.
People know a ton of stuff between them anyways.
I do need to think of an answer about why metals are valuable if they've been mostly just growing things. I'd got as far as thinking that living things like iron. I don't know half way enough about chemistry to think up anything clever about how their world works.
... most of my science works on the lalala I say so principle. Why am I writing science fiction?
ANYway, that was successful pub evening.
