Four-eyed Vulpine Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Let's say that sometime in the near future, the Earth was somehow able to make contact with the Lylat System. What would the implications be? What developments might occur? Could Earthlings and Lylatians get along, or would they destroy each other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Krystal Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Would we even know about it, or would the men in black wipe our memories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four-eyed Vulpine Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 Ok, assume our memories of the contact aren't wiped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARWINGCOMMANDER 3987 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 It would probably be something like the Transformers coming to Earth. The Autobots want to help us, the Decepticons want to destroy us, and we want to help the Autobots. What I'm saying is Earthlings and Lylatians would want to team up to stop Andross or something.

Four-eyed Vulpine Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 I think there would be a lot of political madness. For instance, Lylat is composed of several nation-planets (one nation per planet). Earth is about 200 nations on ONE planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Krystal Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I think there would be a lot of political madness. For instance, Lylat is composed of several nation-planets (one nation per planet). Earth is about 200 nations on ONE planet. Actually, we only know that they have a unified army of Corneria. There may actually be multiple governments. It's funny, actually. Those people who are the most scorned would end up the most able to handle the reality. Furries would be able to psychologically deal with extraterrestrial intelligence without panicing better than the average person, probably. Naturally, there would be huge crowds of Krystal fanboys, Fox/Falco fangirls, and Wolf fanboys/fangirls all waiting for a glimpse of them. Scientists would no doubt begin claiming that this proved God's non-existance, etc, and want to learn how much they don't know from the Lylatians. Meanwhile, some cults and less informed religious groups would begin attempting some kind of genocide against the Lylatians. Large numbers of disenfranchised people would beg to be allowed to go to the Lylat system to seek their fortune. Ironically, 10 times that many Lylatians would want to come here because of the relatively peaceful wars we have in comparison to Andross'. That's my take for now.

Four-eyed Vulpine Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 On the tech side of things, the Lylat System's technology is many many times better than ours, creating an incentive to simply wipe us out so we don't stand a chance of becoming a thorn in their side. And they get a free planet out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuffNStuff Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 They out perform us for now.... But soon, our time will come! And when it does, you all will be piloting my ships to go out and destroy them! On a more serious note..... Personally, if it is TRUE contact with an actual lylat system then I would NOT go all fanboy on them, because that would be creepy and make our species as a whole look perverted. (Im looking at you, krystal fanboys) Our planet is not peaceful at all! There is always war on our surface. Just our country though, the u.s, is more like the free minded society they have on corneria. So The us would most likey become a quick ally to the lylat system. This contact would lead to the unification of our entire planet. Old generations would die off, leaving open minded young people to take in the world(s) for what they are. Religious wars would trickle down to nothing. (that is, unless we meet the covenant... IF lylat exists, why not?) Now another thing that is a big difference is our system as a whole! They can live on nine planets compared to our one (earth pwns mars). I am sure that they wouldn't all flock to us. Really though our planet does stick out like a sore thumb in our system. It's just barren planet after the next... then BOOM! "Hello, I'm human!" (And f&$kin proud of it... you furries) Just to discover us would be hella lucky! And by then, I am damn sure we will master space... Near space anyways.... BTW on a related note, anyone hear of the radio signals we recieved? They are artificial! So there is already proof that we aren't the only ones... It's just that the signal is billions of years old... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

absoludicrous91 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Shouldn't we stop worrying about building spaceships and start wondering if ozone depletion can ever be fixed?

Four-eyed Vulpine Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 Uh-oh, we're starting to drift away. *yanks on the topic* Actually, I didn't think about this before, but in reality, there would likely be a language barrier to overcome. Seriously, what are the odds of a system thousands of light-years away from Earth speaking our language? If contact is to be made, that would be the first thing to figure out.

foxbird22 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 The reason we're drifting away is because such an invasion (or any other global phenomena, for that matter) will snap humans into reality and make them have to clean up the messes they've created. I don't have time to create the...er...report I want to write on this matter right now. I shall respond again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four-eyed Vulpine Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 "Reality" is what the powers that be tell us is real, unlike true reality. Anyway, let's just focus on the issues between us and Lylat, not our own internal problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absoludicrous91 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 In order to understand what a Lylat-Earth confrontation would be like, one must understand the state of the Earth.

Fox P McCloud Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Well, you know what my personal feeling on this are, as we've discussed it multiple times. If the Cornerians came to earth, I'd say that they'd probably act friendly at first, but ultimately wage war on us later. Why? Well, there's strong evidence to suggest that the planet is ruled by Pepper (also, his title "General", the fact that his face is all over buildings, etc)...in other words a Totalitarian dictatorship. I would have a feeling that he'd probably wage war against the earth later on...as it would give him (and the Cornerians) the chance to live on a planet that is (most likely) similar to their own...and be millions of miles away from Venom. Either that or the powers that be would form an alliance with them for only their benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absoludicrous91 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 First, why does Pepper's title prove that he is a military dictator? "General" is a military rank, not a political one. Also, what does his being a dictator have to do with wanting to invade Earth? It seems (to me at least) as if the two ideas aren't related.

Also, what does his being a dictator have to do with wanting to invade Earth? It seems (to me at least) as if the two ideas aren't related. this isn't always true; he's been shown as being more than just a leader of the military. As for the "General" part; this is a common title that a number of dictators have held (no idea why). Dictators have immense power at their command...and they're likely to use if (not always, but sometimes)....my other reasons were already covered.

PuffNStuff Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 This is all too true. But even now, there are Military dictator ships. And I don't see them invading neighboring nations. Now why would they invade in the first place? Really, peace is always the best option when it comes to aliens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PuffNStuff Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 What would they gain for invading a planet that is polluted, and filled with..... You don't think that a modern society like Corneria would allow slavery would you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four-eyed Vulpine Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 It's hard to say. I'm not going to rule out any possibilities, and pretty much anything is possible. I would have a feeling that he'd probably wage war against the earth later on...as it would give him (and the Cornerians) the chance to live on a planet that is (most likely) similar to their own...and be millions of miles away from Venom. Exactly, they could use Earth as a base for remote expansion. And since Lylat is near the center of the Milky Way galaxy, they could have a remote base at least 240 QUADRILLION miles from the Venomian threat.
