An interesting query to a dream I just had a short 30 minutes or so ago... I brought this up originally in IRC chat... it was more than likely met with a "WTF did I just read" perspective...
Okay, so you just landed on a new planet after being chased by what were obviously pirates. The pirates end up following you and essentially making you their slaves. Then you go outside your house/crashed shuttle and find explosives that you could use to kill the pirates... but you also find a race of aliens (kinda like the Covenant)
The question I have is... do you think it's better to be enslaved by the alleged pirates or blow them all to hell and see what happens with the aliens?
In retrospect the "pirates" were actually complete idiots. I mean I ended up grabbing one's shotgun (or musket... I dunno, it looked like a shotgun but took forever to load) while he was still reloading and shooting the other one in the leg. But then how long would it have been until the aliens noticed us... I mean besides my going outside and grabbing the TALKING explosives.
Also in retrospect.... I could probably turn that dream into a page of Mad Libs
