So. Who is your favorite psychic brain alien?

But seriously, I'd love to see some sort of SC2 cinematic of a grey vs. a Protoss. Or a grey being abducted by a Protoss & experimented on for a change. Or how about a saucer getting sucked up via tractor beam into a mothership? That would be sick. :P

Seeing as we have no knowledge of the society of the so-called "Greys," let alone knowledge of their military power, its impossible to determine who would win in a full scale war.

However, based upon every interpretation of them we've seen, from Independence Day to their love for anal probes and cows, I'd have to give the edge to the Protoss.

I used to be terrified yet fascinated by Greys. They still give me the creeps sometimes.

But the Protoss are the definite winners. Unless we count in the Grey's allies/masters, the shapeshifting Reptillians --

omg duran is a reptillian :eek:

well if we base it off of the StarGate ones

we get a better idea

Protoss, just because they have the advantage of Dark Templar technology :D

Interesting point with the SG Asgard. I think they'd be about on-par with the Protoss in technology, so once it came down to pure brute force, fist to fist, the Protoss would win easily.

X-Files grays are even scarier. They can shapeshift. And heal (others and self). Even their blood causes fatal allergic reactions!

But they're not immune to bee stings. Odd that.

And cloaked assassins win any day :D !

Well, the first thing I thought of when comparing was: Have we ever seen the Grays blow up/incinerate entire planets before in any form of media?

I do not believe so. Knowing this, and knowing that the Protoss would resort to this if they felt threatened enough, I'd have to give the edge to the 'toss. Plus, dimensional recall anyone?

Now here's a more interesting question, I think:

Zerg Swarm or Grays? They're so different that it makes an interesting match-up.

And let's say The Overmind is running the show.

Areo

Well, like I said before, we have to give some definition to the Greys. Are we going by what we've seen in movies? Are they lorded over by the Reptillians? Are they the host of Shadow People (extradimensional entities)? Do they possess such psychic phenomena as telepathy and remote viewing? How much of the Grey "mythos" to include?

I'm a fan of the old Star*Drive setting, which also takes place ~2500 and seems to have roughly the same tech level, too.

In that setting, the fraal (what they call greys) are physically weak, but virtually every fraal has the power of suggestion (limited mind control), and about 1 in 5 are mindwalkers (psychics). I doubt 1 in 5 protoss are members of the Templar Caste.

On the other hand, their max power level isn't nearly as high as that of the protoss. Psionic storm would probably give them heart attacks from sheer fear, and of course they have nothing like archons.

Unlike in most other settings, the fraal technology isn't that much more advanced than that of humans, so they'd fail in the starship fighting department. I don't think they have a solution to protoss shields either, although that might not come up when you're giving telepathic suggestions :)

Protoss, because they have no orifices (that we know of!) to stick a probe into :p.
