SInce i am always looking for a bargain you get two for one, Really three. For the first two the story line is basically the same but the game changes a bit, the third question is your opinion on the final outcome of version 2.
Without further Ado.
It’s raining out, pouring in fact and you are out in it, but you don’t care you are having a good day, a real good day a day so good you cant remember a better one. Maybe you find out your unrequited love is actually quite requited, or two classes that you took this semester that are required for your major and and you thought you were going to fail... you dont fail, in fact you get A’s and you realize that you got it, you understand the material really well, and those A’s were quite deserved. Or maybe your favorite grandma Ethel’s stage 4 pancreatic cancer was a test mistake, a week of liver pills and she will be fine. Or maybe all three...
so you are walking down the street and you see this fellow in a trench coat and a hat who looks awful, his skin tone is bad, he looks miserable, he is dropping his packages all over the street. You are in such a good mood You are going to pay it forward. You help him with his packages, get him in order and since you are standing in front of a bar, offer to buy him a drink. He looks at you a little strangely gratefully accepts you offer and you and he head into the bar.
its a dark place and you and he sit at a table and he says “ I have never been in a place like this before, what do i do?” You suggest he have a bourbon, and you are buying, waitress brings 2. He slams his down and says “damm that is good, thank you” no one on this stupid planet has done one thing for me, but you. Here let’s me return the favor, and he orders two more. As the waitress goes to get the next round you notice his bad skin tone is a color it looks kind of silvery, and a little patchy, but its dark and you really can’t tell, but you ask him what’s wrong. He looks you up and down and gets a look in his green eyes that seems to say .. sure why not and he starts to tell you his tale.
you may have noticed i am not from here. About 150,000 of your years ago, we came to this part of the system to have a look, we saw this planet it was lovely pretty environment, great air, mountains, trees, just lovely, Great place, nobody here but a bunch of apes. We decided that when we got around to it we would come back and maybe colonize the place. So we kept our eye on it. About 50 of your years ago, we start seeing all sorts of electromagnetic radiation from your planet . I am part of the team that came to see what happened.
our fleet gets here and ....holy crap, what have you done to this place? it use to be beautiful, now you have all sorts of crap in the air, poisoned the lakes and oceans you fight stupid wars, you have paved paradise and put up a parking lot. It’s awful and you people, gads. You enslave each other, you control each other, you cant find reasons not to kill each other, seriously dude you are first decent person i met here.
Since you have been decent to me, i am going to make you an offer. (Here is where the scenarios split)
Look we are fair species and you have been fair to us. So here the deal. We will stick into a tax free bank account that only you have access too and pay you 1 million dollars a month in todays dollars for the rest of your natural life, and you will have a long one, but we get the planet. No, we dont kill anyone or create any harm to anyone but after 10 months there are no more humans born. Every pregnant woman now carries their babies to full term, and they will be all healthy ones., but that’s it. No human can get pregnant again, we do nothing else to the species When you all die out, we will come down and put the planet back into decent shape and take over. unless you blab no one knows it was you . Don’t take the deal and well we go somewhere else.....
Do you do the deal ?
Scenario 2
Exact same deal as 1 except your new friend tells you. If you say “no” we are going to ask 999 other random People, if anyone of them says yes, it happens. No one finds out who it was, or why women are no longer pregnant, but humans eventually die out.
Do you take the deal?
Question Even if you say no to scenario 2 do you think someone else will take it?
