Consider that Auntie agreed to uplift all of humanity, this drone may just start broadcasting schematics the moment it gets into Earth orbit.

Considering what Speedy was capable of, it might also start broadcasting planet cleansing missiles, too.

Regardless of potential suspects and their tech, how long till the thing impacts the moon, and what can be done to stop it or make the impact less severe?

About two minutes, Luna defense will no doubt attempt to intercept but considering its 3x faster than a missile odds aren't great.

So basically there's nothing to be done and what's important is what the aftermath will be, and how we will deal with it.

Even if it was moving at a reasonable speed, all our assets are kind of otherwise engaged. Either with the Fartcrab survey, or anti-UT operations.

Should probably launch every single IPBM we have just because.

Not at Earth, though, I want to turn the entire Jupiter system into a bunch of glass pebbles.

Now now, let's not go that far just yet, if anything, the Hardliners retreating to the IC is a good thing, there's no way that the power balance between the remaining Triumvirs and the Hardliners will stand, let alone if the Jupiter yards can even support that entire fleet so the situation there is unstable and while the Hardliners still have some sort of flotilla, the UT kinda has to look to us for protection since everything just exploded in their chain of command. And now there's the NAU who are likely super militaristic but we'll cross that bridge later, for now let's focus on saving Ceres and keeping the war from expanding too much further.

Hello everyone.

Unfortunately due to various life changes it is unlikely I will be able to resume the LP proper anytime before the end of the year so I have made the decision to wrap things up with a couple of narrative posts and a timeline of the key events of 2054 as well as the 'good' ending of the LP because I think you have all earned it.

Afterwards I will do a Q&A and mop up of loose plot threads as well as some 'what could have beens.'

Thanks Saros for all the effort. It was amazing while it lasted.

Looking forward to the lore!

Does the good ending mean we turn into the Culture?

The good ending is getting killed by the space crabs before we all go insane and accidentally on purpose summon the jump point gods into our universe to once again wipe out all life.

This thread was not only the first LP thread I got into, but also one of the best stories and communal RPs I've seen. Real life is indeed a harsh mistress, but unavoidable. Thanks for the amazing run Saros, as bittersweet as it is having the LP come to a close, I think it's good to wrap things up on a high note instead of letting it fall away into silence. Extra brownie points to you for that as well.
