[Text] Combined application of imPort powers: Theoretical result, Moon Colony

[hondoyota]

I'd like to foster discussion about the combined application of imPort powers. Aside from a motley of crime-fighting (or crime-causing, as the case may be) teams, I don't think that imPorts as a group give enough consideration to the combined application of powers. Each of us has a limited scope of powers, but when strategically combined with the powers of other imPorts, our abilities can be amplified exponentially.

I'd like to discuss this hypothesis and the practical applications of such efforts.

For example, if someone with power over metal or mechanical systems were to team up with someone with the power to manipulate electrical systems, someone with the ability to generate weather systems (specifically, to create atmosphere, if only on a small scale), and perhaps someone with the ability to teleport, could we not--with four people of moderate ability and a reasonable amount of technical knowledge--create a colony on the moon?

What other accomplishments might we be able to create? I've got the ability to manipulate electrical systems and the ability to amplify the magical fields and abilities of others, in addition to an enthusiast's knowledge of engineering and mechanical science. And I've got a friend who can teleport. So we're theoretically halfway to a moon colony already.

[Considers whether he cares] I'm in! As long as it can support human life! I'm a hell of a pilot, you know

Re: [text]

oh
well then forget that i have no idea how to make it support humans



also i bet i'm a better pilot

[hellrisen02]

Whatever we can work something out! Probably. I've never actually designed a life support system before. [Just, you know, hacked into them.]

You know, usually with this kind of thing, I'd just agree and let it slide. But I'm telling you, I'm really good.

no forget the system
guy
i am a better pilot than you
its just a fact
im better

Well now we gotta settle this. Where're we gonna find ourselves a pair of cruisers?

Pretty sure this world doesn't have real shuttle runways yet, anyway.

you're just gonna have to accept as your elder
i am the better flyer

[hellrisen02]

No no, my pride won't allow this! We're gonna race. We just gotta find a way how.

Can you get into space on your own or do you need a ship to escape orbit?

DO I LOOK LIKE I TURN INTO A JET

[hellrisen02]

I don't know how altmodes work! Can't you just like, scan the thing and then you can turn into it??

[Wrong universe, maybe? Well whatever-] Okay so ships it is, I'll work on this
