Everything begins with the Dyson Sphere. It takes just a little over two years to cap the star. Once this phase is completed the energy it generates is used to power the whole construction process. Next we begin harvesting planets. Thermonuclear "mole" charges are sent deep into the core of the planet, each one taking up a specific position, to form a cone shaped array of charges which are then detonated in unison. Our carbon factory collects the debris and converts it into pellets of pure carbon, each one with a mass in excess of two hundred and fifty million metric tons. These pellets are then fired directly into the Dyson's gravity well and collected there by the habisphere construction plant which turns them into hexagonal habisphere segments.

Once the hex segment is completed it's moved out of orbit and fitted into place in the habisphere where terraforming begins. Our original solar sysem was capable of sustaining around ten billion souls, with energy resources stretched to breaking point. Most of our solar energy was just pouring out into space. A Habisphere can sustain more than five hundred million times that number with an energy supply that is never more than fifteen percent utilised, even at full population. This, ladies and gentlemen, is why we like to refer to our Habispheres as "Solar System 2.0"


We'll be arriving at Habisphere 57 in a few hours. Welcome to your new home!

Cool. One question. Where are you going to get all that nitrogen?

I'm going to get all the nitrogen I need from FUCKING QUANTUMZ  :argh!:

I'm up to my arse in Brexit Numpties, but I want more.  Target-rich environments are the new sexy.

I have to say, I once heard a bloke at the bar going on about how the Earth could support 30 billion people, if we put a lot of them in undersea colonies.

My initial reaction was this:
:um:

And then he started talking about how we should hollow out the Earth to make a Dyson Sphere. 1 Dyson Sphere, at a distance of 1 AU. This is a totally feasible plan, making, a Dyson Sphere out of 1 Earth Mass and spreading it out over a sphere 1 AU in radius. Never mind the lack of a planetary core staving off coronal mass ejections, or I dunno, maintaining atmospheric pressure at sea level. So at that point I just went  :lulz: :cheers:

:lulz: Dude's been reading a lot of cheesy sci-fi lately?

No, I think he was just off his nut.

Yeah, that sounds awesome, and of course there's totally some kind of point in having 30 billion people, because more people = more winning, amirite?

Sounds like the ideal conditions for a really deadly plague.
