    Sorry I'm late to the party

     

     

    Scorch, who had been listening in on the conversation from a bug he planted in the tavern late last night, mused to himself. "So, another fool is going to seek that treasure, huh?" He smiled to himself and opened his communicator. "Glain-Neidr, this is your captain. It turns out we'll be proceeding as planned. Ready the ship for departure at my command."

     

    "Yes sir, Captain Scorch!" replied an eager-to-please Destiny. "Claud and Sydney just returned from exchanging our recently acquired... provisions." She said with a giddy laugh.

     

    "Good," Scorch closed the communicator looked toward the tavern's entrance. "I reckon it's time to join the party," he said as he approached the tavern's entrance. Using his mechanical arm, Scorch swung the door open, and immediately started sizing up the group gathered around the professor. Had Destiny been there, she would have been anxious from anticipation. Luckily, though, Scorch had much more self control than that and simply made his way to the group, the tavern's retro floorboards squeaking and creaking under the weight of his body. He stood at the group's rear and cleared his throat to get the professor's attention.

     

    "You must be Professor Argyle. Pardon my tardiness, as I'm not familiar with these parts," Scorch said. "I do hope it's not too late for one, such as myself, to sign up for your expedition to locate and secure the allusive Carbunkle."

  2. While I think in theory we can have as large a population as we want, I don't think we'll be able to do it with the minerals available to us on Earth. In the terms of mineral consumption and, ergo, availability, I don't think overpopulation is helping at all.

     

    Also, I'd be happy if there were less children running around.
