I would choose you as well Pike. And not just because you're a girl and we may have to repopulate someday.
I figure that if there's anyone with the knowledge and experience to rebuild civilization it'd be you. Just don't spend too many resources on developing culture and focus on building some pikemen or knights fast so we can defend our cities against possible zombie hordes.
And if the Earth is lost to us, who better to curb stomp mind worms on an alien world with?
The early days may be a bit tough, but I'm sure given my size and athleticism I could handle the killing that would need to be done (and the killing that's totally optional) while you plan and scheme about how to most effectively crush Isabella or Miriam, or spend a few turns building a planet buster before simply finishing the world off with continent destroying fury.
And, of course, if nothing else you'd be the perfect person to pass on a love of strategy games and an appreciation of SMAC to any future apocalypse babies, even if they'll never actually play them because it's the apocalypse and we're all smurfed.
