You get to play an ortog, trying to keep from being eaten by humans on Unzervalt until the Captain returns from the Kessari Quadrant with grand plans to uplift the Precursors.  ::)

Edit: I will admit that the initial images on the webpage look good, but they tell me nothing except that the creator is probably an advertising executive.  PRECURSORS: you don't know what it is, but it''l be here by Oct. 26th, and I hope to work you into a buying frenzy before it's released!

for $19.99 you too can have this multipurpose precursor space vessel (attachments sold separately*)

* attachments require raw materials on the scale of 500 kilotons of material

Post by: Lukipela on October 21, 2003, 12:38:08 am
Attachments? oooh... shiny! Can I have custom attachments? I'd like to finally be able to install that bubble bath on the bridge! Just imagine, swooping around in space, being a swashbuckling miner, a daring and handsome saviour of civilizations, the pinnacle of evolution... And yet, be able to take a bath with my sqeaky rubber duck any time I want to. That'd show them that the stinkin Synth in no way have a monopoly on bubbles!

But...you are a 'synth...

Least your pic would suggest so. And we certainly do have a monopoly on bubbles these days! We kidnapped Mr. Bubble and cloned him, so now...
All your Mr. Bubbles are belong to us.

[Running joke]Hush young Padawan[/running joke]

Tell you the truth, I'm not sure what i am these days. I use to be 100 % pure bred Synth, effective, calm, logical and ultimately soulless. Now? I think I may be leaning more towards the Umgah view of the world (How K-P would love to hear that)

HAR HAR! YOU WANT BUBBLES? WE GIVE YOU ORGANIC BUBBLES!! BUBBLY EYES AND NOSTRILS! HAR HAR HAR!

I want to give my precursor service vehicle some bling bling. How many RUs for some racing strips and neons?

What do you think those red and green things on the sides are?  Turning jets and thrusters? :)

I wanna see those things blink in sequence.

And I wanna install shocks so I can make my precursor vessel hop.

And a 5 channel stereo system with 3 channels dedicated to base. Let's hear the Ur-Quan theme on that thing.

With some reeeeeal heavy bass. I mean, I want to be able to shake planets to bits with that bass. Lets hear it rrruummbllee!!

Maybe those "lights" could be speakers themselves. Forget the fact that they wouldn't work in "real" space, this is science fiction! It's more interesting with sound effects in space! The Sa-Matra would have nothing on the Vindicator in terms of planet-shattering power.

#3 - Law of Sonic Amplification, First Law of Anime Acoustics
In space, loud sounds, like explosions, are even louder because there is no air to get in the way.

I'd say this applies here as well.

Attach the Burvix/Umgah Hyperwave caster to the new killer sound system, and say "Boo!" in an oort cloud! Ah, I could see the Alliance Times newspaper now...

"Zelnick = Kohr-Ah!"
The entire spathi race was annihilated early yesterday morning. Apparently, taking up Commander Hayes' idea of using the Umgah Hyperwave Broadcaster, he scared all of them into having heart attacks when he started announcing he was the Ultimate Evil. He is being held in an undisclosed interstellar prison pending his trial..."

I have just entered the site ( Remember 27th? ) and guess what: Nothing have changed! I think the year has something to do with it...:P

Well, the 27th isn't over yet, is it? Besides, at the time you posted (about 0700 GMT), the 27th hadn't even yet started all over the world (e.g. US west coast). Let's be patient (and reload the site until the server dies ;D).


Title: Re: PRECURSORS
Post by: PRECURSORS on October 27, 2003, 11:31:07 am
Yeah, we know, it's 27th today!

Try a bit later today (evening), because the year is right.

Amazing!!!!

It has turned from "27th October" to "Real Soon"!

W00t?

Post by: NECRO-99 on October 28, 2003, 12:16:15 am
Real Soon: Any time spanning x to y, whereas x is 0.0000001 milliseconds from this instant, and y is 0.0000001 milliseconds after you have died.

The precursors are here and the music of the future is upon you.

Maybe your browser cache did you some tricks.

And I would have guessed that "Real soon" would mean 18+ years, referring to the Illwraths answer to the Spathis question when they plan to return to the Sol system. ;-)
