You know what I was just thinking? "It would be great to visit a creepy, mostly abandoned colony right now." Because the first several times we had to answer a distress call or had a mission that took us to these outposts weren't bad enough.

That's not really why I'm typing this up. Correct me if I am wrong but it looks like most people here are human. That's a little bit of a problem for me. Love humans, honestly. Some of my close friends are human.

The whole "we evolved on levo-amino acid-based biospheres" is the deal-breaker. I can't exactly eat levo-based food. Well I could but I'd prefer a better death than that. So what I'm trying to ask is if there is, possibly, any alternatives.

I mean I'd really like to not starve if that's possible. Just throwing that out there for consideration.

I'd like to take credit for it, but I dunno what happened to get me undead. A lot nicer than the alternative though.

Fortune favors the bold. You snooze you lose. Choose your favorite aphorism.

Look if you're slowly starving to death then you don't need your stuff. You're just being selfish really.

How many people would WANT to stay dead if they have the choice to live?

At least you're using ones I can actually understand. As much as I love our translators, some things just don't cross that cultural barrier very well.

But that doesn't mean I'm ready to give up my guns. Nuh uh.

I'm not saying there's no perks. Don't have to eat. Or sleep. Or breathe. You can't die MORE so can do really risky things.

It's everything else about it that sucks.

Guns aren't really gonna help you not starve. Unless you're planning on shooting starvation away. Which might be the most human thing I've ever heard - so good job blending in. You're doing it.

Personally I like eating and sleeping.

As for the guns. I REALLY like them. It won't do anything about this problem, no, but I feel better knowing that if I need to shoot something out of frustration I can.

You still CAN, just don't gotta.

Alright alright, keep your stuff and be selfish. Can't blame a guy for trying.
