"After the first head-on crash with an obstacle, the EMT responders dubbed the vehicle "The Arm Shredder"...a nickname it retains to this day."

2:51 PM Mr. Gray

The next step should be jets and a motorcycle.

2:52 PM Mr. Amethyst

lol

2:52 PM Mr. Blue

Wake me up when I can teleport anywhere on Earth.

I’m sick of using locomotion.

2:52 PM Mr. Amethyst

Yup.

2:53 PM Mr. Silver

Not even a hyperloop?

In May 2013, Musk said that the hyperloop would be like a "cross between a Concorde and a railgun and an air hockey table",[7] but no further details have been released.

Sounds safe.

"How do you stop?"

"Well...I still have to sort that out..."

2:56 PM Mr. Blue

Stuff me in a red, white & blue cannon and shoot me to my destination.

2:56 PM Mr. Amethyst

'MERICA!

2:57 PM Mr. Blue

How would a human be able to withstand the G forces that hyperloop thing would create?

2:57 PM Mr. Amethyst

Flight suits?

2:58 PM Mr. Blue

Would there be a way to like pressurize the cabin enough that the outside would be moving but the inside it'd feel like it you're sitting still?  I think I’ve already put as much thought into it as that Musk guy has.

3:01 PM Mr. Gray

Bet he got a grant for that idea and is kicking back on a beach somewhere doing "research" thinking about it.

3:02 PM Mr. Blue

Yeah

3:34 PM Mr. Silver

"Picture an elevator in Los Angeles going to the top of a BAM coated slide that is 30 stories high.  You push off, lie back, and relax...or alternately scream...all the way to San Francisco in under a half hour."

4:07 PM Mr. Blue

Mr. Silver, is a normal galaxy so chaotic in the denser parts (like the middle of the Milky Way) that it'd be unlikely to support life?

4:10 PM Mr. Silver

The middles are full of black holes…plus all that radiation from so many systems…  We're safer out here, yes.

4:11 PM Mr. Silver

Expanding the "Goldilocks Zone" concept of a solar system to the scale of a galaxy, we're in a good spot.

4:11 PM Mr. Blue

So a smaller galaxy like that one might have a better chance of supporting life?

4:11 PM Mr. Silver

Not too shabby.

4:11 PM Mr. Blue

Cool

4:11 PM Mr. Silver

However, one good supernova in the wrong place…fry.

Mr. Yellow

I was telling Mr. Silver that I messed up my own story idea for Heroes Unlimited because I let the players roll randomly for their super heroes, so have to change my idea around.

It's not a huge deal; I just liked my first story line idea.

2:07 PM Mr. Silver

"Everyone's character's ready?  OK...you're all asleep in the Fortress of Heroes when a glowing pink asteroid hits and makes the following changes to your characters so they'll fit my story."

2:11 PM Mr. Gray

"Ok....first of all, since it was pink...you all have the ballet skill.....next, fashion sense.....oh, and don’t forget the interior decorating skill too!!"

2:12 PM Mr. Silver

"OMG...this asteroid...was it also cute and sparkly?!?"

2:12 PM Mr. Yellow

Haha

Hahaha

2:12 PM Mr. Silver

"Why...yes...the crater does seem to have a lot of glitter in it too."

2:13 PM Mr. Yellow

The people who made random rolled aliens, rolled the reason they were coming here is as champions of good. So they are intergalactic cops.

2:13 PM Mr. Silver

Space Fuzz on Earth

2:14 PM Mr. Yellow

So I'll have them chase a fallen Cosmo Knight. Both ships will crash into the mall where our wannabe heroes are shopping

2:14 PM Mr. Silver

"Saving the Earth, one fashion closeout sale at a time."

2:15 PM Mr. Yellow

Well, saving their waistlines when the food court is destroyed. I'm hoping to kill off some friends of the characters with the fiery explosion.

2:15 PM Mr. Silver

"Cosmo" Knight...a super warrior who gives beauty, relationship, diet and sex tips between attacks.

2:17 PM Mr. Silver

"Before we fight, little Earth heroes, we should take this 100 point test to see how compatible our fighting styles are!"

2:19 PM Mr. Gray

LMAO Mr. Silver.

"...this guy in tights runs up and calls you fat and shatters your self esteem. You'll never recover and will spend years in therapy. What are you going to do now, hero?!"

2:21 PM Mr. Silver

"So!  My lipstick strike was not enough to slow you down!  Well, here comes a move that would thrill your man in the sack if I wasn't going to destroy you with it!"

2:23 PM Mr. Silver

"Ha!  This simple diet food will make you go from Cow to Wow!  (hypersonic pomegranate juice blast!)"

2:25 PM Mr. Gray

LOL

Still laughing about the "Cosmo"knight

2:26 PM Mr. Silver

(Hero huddle.  Captain Epic) "This 'guy' is starting to creep me out."

2:26 PM Mr. Yellow

lol

2:26 PM Mr. Silver

(Miss Wonderful) "I'm taking notes, myself."

2:27 PM Mr. Gray

LMAO

2:46 PM Mr. Yellow

It should be an interesting first night.

3:31 PM Mr. Yellow

If the players defeat the fallen Cosmo Knight, then the current one will pay them the large reward for his death or capture and return the corpse and his sword to wherever.

That would give the group money to start their own organization:

“The Cleveland Steamers”

3:38 PM Mr. Silver

That sounds like a euphemism for something you're required to carry a baggie for when walking your dog.

3:39 PM Mr. Yellow

No, it is taking a big old dump on the person's chest!

“The Rusty Trombones”?

If they form an organization I am sure their name will be "interesting". If they do not just split the cash and go their own ways, that is. So I'll have to keep trying to get them together every game.

3:43 PM Mr. Silver

"Cower, evil-doers, before the might of 'We Didn't Do It'."

"That's a strange team name."

"It helps with the authorities after mass destruction if they question Bastian of Truth over there."

"Clever."

"I don't like the name!"

3:48 PM Mr. Yellow

Hehe

3:49 PM Mr. Silver

"Of course you don't, Bastian...you're so uptight you won't even spell your hero name with an O."

"That would be LYING!"

"Um...good guys..."

"Bastian and Bastion sound the same and your hero name makes more sense with the O...using your real name is just dumb."

"But TRUTHFUL!"

"Could we fight please?  We have a death ray to steal and you guys are in the way."

"Oh...yeah.  Prepare to face 'We Didn't Do It'!"

3:53 PM Mr. Yellow

Haha

2:48 PM Mr. Silver

"Hi, for some reason this is Milton Brown. I don't know if my laptop just crashed or what.  Could you check please?"

2:49 PM Mr. Yellow

Haha

2:49 PM Mr. Gray

For some reason?

LOL

2:49 PM Mr. Yellow

:-D

2:49 PM Mr. Silver

Yup...word for word.
