I have researched this, and it would seem that there unfortunately ISN'T endless booze on Earth. There is NEVER enough booze on Earth :D Or do you mean a different planet? It's entirely possible they stumbled upon a small, uninhabited (at least by hot women) planet with oceans of alcohol recently. Also, their space ship is equipped for epic voyages into the unknown. They can synthesise food and alcohol on board with the biomass generators, but the stuff isn't as tasty as Mom's centibison steak or cactusbird soup. Their probing equipment can also determine what kind of food a captive needs to stay healthy, and have the biomass generators produce simple foodstuffs for them. This keeps everyone on board alive.<br/><br/>For future reference: Nixola is a drink, whereas Ouangk can only be described as some kind of futuristic party drug in pellet form, whose effects are humorous and many :D A Ningtiktikling on Ouangk is said to be ouangked, and one who takes it rather often is called a ouangker ;)<br/><br/>Inflatetress, can you do me two small favours?<br/><br/>1.<span class="bbc_u"><strong>Everyone, please write the name of your character at the top of your post. </strong></span>No exceptions. Names or gtfo. Especially with aliens walking around with the kind of names that sound like a drunken brain damage patient ordering a drink, it's an important and useful way of keeping track of things.<br/><br/>2. That pink writing you use for direct speech hurts my eyes; I can barely read it. You don't have to use different letters to report speech, but if you do, please make it so the speech stands out. Hence my using black, bold letters. Can you avoid the pink in future please?<br/><br/>It looks like we're in for one hell of a trip, guys!
