Challenge #03251-H342: Learn, Guys

Libertaria never truly learned sense. Much like the exploration eras of Human history, they sent more people to find out what had happened to the last people that went out and vanished. And, like most of the Human Exploration Eras, it was very rarely a, "Doctor Livingston, I presume," case[1].

They sent more warships after the first batch of warships that had tried and failed to breach Bottleneck Station, this time after what they called, "A hideous concentration-camp Dwarf Planet."

It went about as well as one might expect. Libertaria threw its best weapons and fittest people[2] at the new installation and, because they thought they could, at Bottleneck Station as well. The Hungry Caterpillar, the energy absorption network, and all the other technological advances of the Galactic Alliance stopped them in their tracks.

The people of Ladidah are throwing a fit over the destroyed wedding and the wedding planners are weeping. Liz's own family is hounding her about her "unlady-like" behavior even as the vorax raiders, the survivors that is, are being dragged off to incarceration and the Brutes are taking the raider ships to turn them in for the credit. Liz decides to give a smackdown, verbally speaking, to them all that 'rich and powerful' is not just for MEN, and 'being able to

The CEO hears how bad it is for their workers, but refuses to believe it. So they sneak into the factories in disguise and learn the truth, much to their horror and disgust. Time to make some changes before everyone dies. -- Anon Guest

The instructor walked into the classroom where several students already were getting set to take notes and looked upon them expectantly.

"Today, we're going to speak of human history, as in how far was a human's instinct to survive and prepare. That is, the psychology of what humans, in that era, called Preppers, and how that psychology is ingrained in humans into the modern day. We'll explore the benefits, and the costs, of such a mindset, and how companions can better understand

What if... MA is the Chosen One, and due to poor Kevin being so damn unlucky, Wraithvine accidentally pinged HIM as the one when it was his mother all this time? And that's why she was able to all but teleport the young Goblin into her arms before Wraithvine, or the kid, knew what happened? That Kevin, poor kid, is just along for the ride and, maybe, part of that quest is to cure him of the stain of bad luck that

An individual who wore a livesuit rather than contract immunoflu flies to a planet suffering from a global plague, evading the quarantine, to try to "prove the plague is a hoax" and that "introducing immunoflu here is what will kill everyone". Needless to say, the moment they removed the suit and got infected with the plague infecting the planet, they learned they would be spending a lot of time in the ICU. -- Lessons
