VPS? Vlish propulsion systems? Let me let you in on a well kept secret. No, I will not tell you where Vlish have nipples! One simple word to explain how and why Vlish can move so quickly and effortlessly through the air. Flatulence. We are the first jet powered mammals. -------------------- If I could make just one wish, I would want a tasty vlish. Geneforge IV. Still no tasty vlish.

Of course we are mammals. We have spines. We have nipples. Says right in the Advanced Creature Guide that we Vlish have standard mammalian skin, please keep moist. A good Shaper always brings along a good hand lotion, or else he may suffer an accidental nervous breakdown or may suddenly think he is a chicken for a while. -------------------- If I could make just one wish, I would want a tasty vlish.

Shapers apparently have a different definition of "standard," "mammal," or "moist" if they think you need to keep your skin wet. —Alorael, who already has a perfectly good explanation for Vlish locomotion. A wizard did it. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

I thought that Vlish were just jet propelled telepathic squids. So what do Vlish eat to give them enough fart gas to get around?

Brains. We eat lots and lots of brains. We were shaped with out sweat glands to save weight. Hence the need for moisture. Dry skin and chafing makes us surly and irritable. -------------------- If I could make just one wish, I would want a tasty vlish. Geneforge IV. Still no tasty vlish.

Oh great. Vlish were dangerous enough. But Jeff gave them yet another weapon in GF4? Well at least there is now an effective way to counter them. "Argh, a Vlish!

Assuming they don't invent traps that revolve around Beano. Like if a vlish hovers past a rune, said rune will spray powdered Beano on the vlish. Mind you, it wouldn't kill the vlish. It would just lose it's mobility and it's scent. -------------------- Scenarios need reviews! Please rate these scenarios at the CSR after playing them!

One thing that's bothered me...So where does the helium in the sacks come from? I mean, it it leaks out, how does the Vlish get more? Does it go down to the grocery store and suck on the tank of helium at the expense of kids not getting their birthday party baloons? -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

Vlish do not obey. We cooperate because for now, the Shapers serve our better interests, much like cats occasionally look cute for their human masters. Cats and Vlish both know who is really in charge. Quiet you, before you spend the rest of your life thinking you are a watermellon. -------------------- If I could make just one wish, I would want a tasty vlish. Geneforge IV. Still no tasty vlish.

So, to kill a Vlish all you need to do is throw a lit match behind it? Interesting. -------------------- You acquire an item: Radio Free Foil Posts: 1169 | Registered: Monday, September 23 2002 07:00 |

Helium is flammable at least as far as I'm concerned. Doubt me? A blimp that was filled with helium exploded into flames once. Why not a Vlish? -------------------- "Your here again?"-The person behind me. Posts: 153 | Registered: Monday, April 24 2006 07:00 |

The Hindenburg went up because the hydrogen was ignited in an oxygen rich environment. Still I always thought that vlish used hot air to stay afloat. There's a tiny politician inside each one of them. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Until you do, you are one of the following: 1) Totally ignorant of basic chemistry and fundamentals of the periodic table. 2) The greatest scientist alive because you have shown quantum mechanics, chemistry, and the periodic table to be ineffective at making predictions about simple atoms. 3) Really know the right answer but for some reason like to argue wrong things. I'm betting on number 1 personally. Read up on the periodic table and valence shells. Wikipedia is a great source, use it.

Silly bipedal humanoids. We use helium to stay afloat. Flatus is of ordinary chemical composition due to digestion. What does your science have to say about that? -------------------- If I could make just one wish, I would want a tasty vlish. Geneforge IV. Still no tasty vlish.

I was referring to the fact that most flatulence is composed of methane, which is flammable. As chemistry major, I know that Helium is inert. It appears the three of us posted at the same time, and I didn't see that Vlish were Helium powered. I just figured it was methane. -------------------- You acquire an item: Radio Free Foil Posts: 1169 | Registered: Monday, September 23 2002 07:00 |
