Oh, hello, intresting, what've you got in mind, exactly? You're talking about getting rid of the dome, well, you lot can't breathe out there, so, you're either thinking about sequestering your atmosphere without a dome, or, rebuilding an atmosphere you like better across the planet, yeah? Big project, can't say I haven't seen it done.

[recruited_hacktivist]

Might be a big project, but I love those. I don't plan on isolating us from anyone. I say we rebuild the atmosphere to our liking. I know it can be done. It's just a matter of working towards it. And there's land outside this dome too. So, that will help in some ways.

[spacepeterpan]

And you've checked already with the local life that changing up the atmosphere won't be a problem?

[recruited_hacktivist]

You might want to be a bit clearer on local life. Could mean the people of New Dodge or anything outside this dome.

[spacepeterpan]

Figured that was a bit obvious.

[Although he's at least intrigued by the implied even-handedness of that statement.]

...fair enough, though, I meant the ones outside. Last I checked, they're pretty comfortable with the atmosphere they've already got.

[recruited_hacktivist]

And you're pretty sure of that how?

[spacepeterpan]

Well, it's their planet, for one, and you lot haven't had much chance to do anything terrible to it, yet. There a reason you think they're not adapted to their own atmosphere?

[recruited_hacktivist]

I never said they weren't adapted to it. Though do you honestly know what has and hasn't been done to this planet, Doctor?

[She's genuinely curious]

[spacepeterpan]

Humans are all inside a dome, far as I've seen you haven't had the opportunity to do much of anything to the whole planet.

My point is, changes to an atmosphere can do a lot of things, and it depends on what you're changing. I'd guess the high carbon dioxide's top of your list, well, it does a bit more than just inconveniencing humans, doesn't it?
