I'd choose to save the world. When else am I going to get a chance to use my life to save an entire galaxy? I don't want to pass up my chance to be a hero. I have enough idealism left in my bones for that.
Well the chemical only enhances to a "certain extent" it doesn't grant unlimited power. And being that they are physically weak to begin with, the enhancement would only give them the strength of any average human or less. Which clearly isn't enough, since even a human needs the chemical enhancement to even stand a chance.Drakmorg said:I'd help them fight, solely for the glee of finding out the invaders anatomy through "close study".
Question though, Why don't the Pmaliens use the chemical themselves to at least put their army on par with the invaders?
Is earth in any way threatened? If not, then why should I help people who just kidnapped me and wish to use me as a shield against their enemies?E-mantheseeker said:Scenario:
At this moment, you have been teleported across several galaxies unto another planet (we'll call this planet Pmal). Once you've arrived, the aliens or "Pmaliens" explain to you that they have been invaded by a force that they cannot physically rival, because their (Pmaliens) mental capabilities develop greatly while their bodies remain ill suited for any kind of combat. They've calculated that within a years time, planet Pmal will have been taken over completely and every Pmalien will have been killed off by the invaders
They have brought you to planet Pmal because your human strength is capable of defeating their invaders and saving planet Pmal. To aid you in the fight, they have formulated a chemical that can enhance the strength of a person to a certain extent. Everything about you will be enhanced, your jump height, your speed, and overall strength, the effects will be permanent. (you won't be super-human but you will be pretty damn impressive)
The catch is that these enhanced abilities won't give you a definite upper hand in the battle, rather it will give you the power to run through all the minor minions and have a pretty evenly matched battle with the "Big Bad" in charge. ( the equivalent of a video game final boss) As with all adventures, there is a good chance you will die. So, what will you choose to do?
Accept the powers and try to save planet Pmal?(you can go back to earth afterwards)
Or, go home knowing Pmal will be taken over and an entire alien race will be exterminated?
Well if you're already thinking about the safety of Earth at that point, I'm sure you would be thinking about that a lot more if you decided to go back to Earth without helping. Maybe the Earth would be next in line maybe not, the only information you would have is that there are invaders out there with the power to take over at least one planet so far.Eclectic Dreck said:Is earth in any way threatened?
