Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* Remember that the Orz referred to *playing* with the Taalo in *Pretty Space*? Given [[{{EldritchAbomination}} the nature of the Orz]] *Pretty Space* very well could have been a dimension that was some kind of FireAndBrimstoneHell JustForFun/RecycledInSpace (think the hell-dimension in the movie ''Film/EventHorizon'' and you have the idea).

Most likely agenda would be to pull a SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum first by escaping back to TrueSpace and then pulling at least a Class X-3 if not a Class X-4 or even trying for a Class Z on the ApocalypseHow scale, due to having basically had to avoid extinction by in a sense fleeing down to hell. Even if the Orz later abandoned the New Alliance, the Taalo would find out, and then decide on a FateWorseThanDeath for humanity for the Captain having blindly thrown his lot in with the Orz. Oh, and did I mention the Taalo would have abandoned their pacifism in order to survive and they've got weapons all the way from simple tools of destruction (energy weapons etc) to weaponised BrownNote things like that tentacle effect the Suul'ka from ''VideoGame/SwordOfTheStars'' used at the nastiest.

There's a reference to the multiverse in ''Origins'' and that some alternate dimensions are in lower resolution than the ''Origins'' universe. This seems like a pretty obvious reference to the older games. It would also explain why the Arilou appear in both continuities, as the Arliou are confirmed to be {{Dimensional Traveller}}s and, presumably, the Precursors also had this tech.

[[WMG: The Syreen have been modified by the Arilou, to aid Humanity's survival.]]
The Arilou are very interested with Humanity. The Arilou have had a long relationship with the Umgah-master bio-engineers. If I wanted to preserve a species that might be annihilated, I would make sure that there was something else it could breed with, just in case.

I don't believe that the Syreen's normal growth or history was messed with. I just think that their biology may have been modified at some point so they [i]could[/i] breed true with humanity, if needed. Grab a few Humans, a few Syreen, take them somewhere nice and safe, and let the games begin.

*** Also, the probes are not necessarily programmed to try and convert ''everything'' to raw materials (that would be insane). The only reason they try to convert ships to resources is because a bug in their programming causes them to select ships as communication targets and then switch to mining mode. Normally, they just target asteroids; they have no reason to attempt suicide-rushes against planets.

*** I was always under the impression that *many bubbles* meant something along the lines of individual minds or souls which if Orz are all part of the same being(which most indications indicate this is so) then they do not have the concept of individual minds and thus they do not have a word for it, hence *many bubbles*. Also I thought *campers* referred to the fact that, from their inter-dimensional perceptive, most True Space beings don't really go anywhere and thus are camping out. Also I do not think *dancing* means just combat, as the computer could translate that. I think it is a more encompassing concept of maneuvering, fighting, dying, living and probably more interdimensional stuff we have no words for(I always make note that they say *IT IS DANCING* not Orz or *campers*, it without any real indication of what it meant). That is the thing about having things humans writing about things humans have not experienced or even hypothesized is that it makes it hard for humans to discuss...

** Alternately, the probes were a desperation ploy, before the Captain came along, and the Melnorme wanted to work through a proxy so as to keep a degree of separation between them and the probes. Better to be the harmless vagabond traders than Enemy Number One.

Somehow, maybe the Taalo would return ''[[{{BeyondTheImpossible}} ''[[UpToEleven even more traumatised than the Ur-Quan]]'' for that, changed from (likely) peaceful-looking rockmen into jagged demon-like things similar to the Pyroviles from that Pompeii episode of Series/DoctorWho, except with some weird, dark, likely sickly green Hellfire type energy liked to PrettySpace animating them, and looking very much in their shape like demons due to both their forced adaptation to *Pretty Space* and its hazards such as the Orz and others? Most likely agenda would be to pull a SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum first by escaping back to TrueSpace and then pulling at least a Class X-3 if not a Class X-4 or even trying for a Class Z on the ApocalypseHow scale, due to having basically had to avoid extinction by in a sense fleeing down to hell. Even if the Orz later abandoned the New Alliance, the Taalo would find out, and then decide on a FateWorseThanDeath for humanity for the Captain having blindly thrown his lot in with the Orz. Oh, and did I mention the Taalo would have abandoned their pacifism in order to survive and they've got weapons all the way from simple tools of destruction (energy weapons etc) to weaponised BrownNote things like that tentacle effect the Suul'ka from SwordOfTheStars used at the nastiest. Even if not, feel free to run with the idea if you like. Still, if that were the case, talk about NiceJobBreakingItHero...
