Hmmm, I would most likely take my sword with me as it would go where I go, not for violence, but it is as much a part of me as anything if not moreso,
besides I wouldn't want to pass up the chance to have a sweet copy of it made from some badass alien steel, or perhaps they could make me a
lightsaber in the same style!
Laptop was a pretty good idea but even better if it allows intergalactic internet because it will soon get boring unless you happened to take a good
few TB in movies, music and reading material.
It would also be good with the interstellarnet (copyright me) to keep in contact with Earth otherwise you would go mad with loneliness (assuming you
are alone).
I was going to be sarcastic and say oxygen or food as you didn't include them in the given list, but I assume you meant the basic necessities to be
included.
The biggest freaking shotgun you ever seen so when I do meet up with an alien, I'll blast him away so the other aliens will know that I represent
mankind and I mean business so go ahead and get what's coming to you suckas!
Maybe I could hide a pair of sunglasses with me so I can scream the infamous Rod Piper quote.
Definately a good HD camera...so i could record everything and not just have memories in my head, but recorded as well..not to mention it would be
cool proof too...I most definately want to go offworld at some point if someone picks me up...
Given the fact aliens don't eat, atleast not the same way we do, i can't bring any chili peppers, pizza, Fruit Loops and Doritos lol...but it would
be fun.
First of all; before I depart my mother land; I will make sure my first name is if not already changed legally and literally as "Adam". Secondly the
moment I step my alien 5 toe's on the new planet I will instantly initiate the glowing precious green button switch on my most sophisticated, secret,
intelligent, unimaginable device that will conceive what man desires the most ... Eve.
I would bring a full historical outlay of human evolution, from the Sumerians to modern day Darwinism. A compilation of all religions, sciences, etc.
More than likely stored on a petabyte hard drive installed into a ourageously fast computer, full of videos, documentaries, recordings etc.
Then I would ask the aliens, where are we wrong in your eyes, and what can we do to improve.
