The Life and Death of a Pkunk
« on: October 23, 2009, 08:01:30 am »
Trolly Bazoo and Whoop Dee Doo! You were having such a wonderful dream, and now you’ve been rudely awakened by an alarm! It sings a merry tune, calling all Pkunk to their stations. The lovely Fury you serve on must be under attack by some enemy force. As a secondary gunner, you really should get out of your comfortable nest and head down to your station. But your dream was so delightful! Surely combat could wait for another day! What a question to ponder! Should you close your gentle bird eyes and remain in your warm nest or should you head off to meet your delightful comrades and sing the songs of combat?

1.   I must wake and sing with my fellows!
2.   Here is nice and warm and safe, I’ll go back to sleep!
Round and round it goes, where it stops nobody knows

I agree.
And that's all I got to say about that.

I have a feeling that I've had this dream before.
In it, I chose option two.
That dream soon turned into a nightmare where all my friends got killed.
So now, I choose option one.
What would you give to know the truth?

1!  We must stop those who put unpleasant ends to our lovely dreams so that in the future we may choose option 2!
How is it that I can beat the Sa-Matra with one Fury, but I can't beat a Marauder with an Avatar?

I'm guessing this alarm doesn't have a snooze button, but that's okay! Snooze buttons interfere with cosmic harmony!

Option one, please.

Truer words have never been uttered!

One thanks.

You decide that sleeping can wait for another day. There’s adventure to be had and experiences to be made! As you stroll down through the colourful corridors you can see fellow Pkunk all around, some dancing towards their stations, others distracted by the mysteries of the universe. When you get to your post it turns out that the enemy is the Ilwrath. You fire your gun with masterly timing and with your assistance their ship is soon all but destroyed. As you have them in your sight you feel a pang of conscience. Is it really right to kill the poor things? They're silly and annoying, but isn't killing a bit too harsh? Should you stay your hand and let them live?

1.   The wretched spiders need to stop, let’s see what they learn from this!
2.   I shouldn’t kill when I can love! Let them be on their way!

They need to be destroyed, they are the complete opposite of what the Pkunk stand for!
And that's all I got to say about that.

kill them, they may be all but destroyed but they can still open fire on and potentially kill us

We let the last ship go, we must kill this one to prevent ourselves from being too good.  We don't want to end up like them!

Constancy is needed for cosmic harmony.  Finish them.  (1)
