Caminas a través de un largo pasillo. Miras hacia la derecha, de una manera casi mecánica, al enorme ventanal que ocupa todo el lateral y lo que ves te cautiva: estrellas brillantes, un gigante gaseoso al que prácticamente podrías tocar con la punta de los dedos, con sus 5 lunas orbitando alrededor, y, más allá, la inmensidad del espacio.Te preguntas cómo pudo haber avanzado tanto la tecnología en los últimos 40 años como para que el campo gravitacional del planeta no atrajese a la nave y la hiciese pedazos en su atmósfera.
Your movements are clumsy but determined. You continue to the end of the hallway until you enter the nuclear weapons launch room. You take your position. Suddenly, the ship’s lights turn on, indicating that it is going to make a quantum leap. A few seconds later, after a glow and a sensation that humans could consider “dizziness”, the ship is located in front of a planet called Caprica. The moment had arrived and you just had to press a button that would wipe out all life on the planet. However, a doubt plagued your mind at that moment. Did all those people really deserve to die? The decision is yours.
40 years have passed since the first Cylon war, in which humans and Cylons fought to the death for space in the universe. But now the Cylons have returned and the fate of the human race is in your hands.
What do we draw?
bocabit.com, in collaboration with SyFy and Waskman, is pleased to raffle 3 double tickets to the Spanish premiere of Caprica, the prequel to Battlestar Galactica, and also many other gift t-shirts. This premiere will be on March 11 at the Teatro Lara in Madrid, and will be attended by Ronald D. Moore (producer of the series and Battlestar Galactica) and also Alessandra Torresani (Zoe in the series).
In addition, after the screening there will be a round table to ask questions and then a catering where you can talk in person with the producer and protagonist.
How do I participate?
Participating is very simple: leave a comment on this post saying whether or not you would press the button that would plunge Caprica into a nuclear winter and explain why. The 3 most original explanations will win a double ticket and 2 t-shirts (which will serve as an invitation to the event). The deadline of the contest is March 1 at 11:00 p.m., and obviously anyone who wants (and can) go to the event can participate.
