MYCON STAR CONTROL 2 SERIES

My wife is going to have a really bizarre reason to divorce me: “He fell in love with a video game intergalactic vixen from 1992!” That means I also need to discover where the Ur-Quan locked up the Syreen fighting ships (which are called Penetrators… because apparently 15-year-old boys designed this portion of the game).Īlso, Talana tells me that she’s totally cool with going out on a date with me. Talana here says that the Syreen are willing to join forces, provided that I help give them revenge on the Mycons. This might be the thing to bring the Syreen out of complacency and toward resistance.

I show the starbase commander the Mycon egg - the Deep One - and she flips out.

I don’t understand why the Ur-Quan are fine with leaving non-compliant races alive.Īnyway, since the remaining population of the Syreen is mostly women, as the females made up their space forces, that’s why we’re only encountering this one sex in the game. This oddly compassionate gesture is so weird. Oddly enough, the Ur-Quan didn’t destroy them, but provided them a planet on which to settle - and then shielded them inside. They got caught up in the Alliance out of a hope of surviving, but when the Alliance fell apart and the Ur-Quan surrounded them, the Syreen surrendered. She’s not in the mood for it she wants to know why a human vessel is here.įollowing the destruction of their planet (which the Syreen thought was a meteor up to now), the remaining race took off in space habitats to look for another world to settle. Naturally, you can make all sorts of flirty and tacky comments to the Syreen commander (yes, that’s how she naturally dresses and lounges while working). This is the second such planet I’ve seen in the game to date. I go in search of the Syreen, who are living on a shielded slave world much the same as Earth. Or, as the game calls such projects, “shattered worlds.” You see one such world in the header up there. One such mention is the fact that the Mycon (space fungus) had purposefully destroyed the homeworld of the Syreen (space babes) to terriform it into a compatible volcano world.

The Melnorme are a font of useful gossip that can spark a lot of actionable quests.
