Excellent work! We look forward to many more stories!

Thank you for the story

Ah, the speed of reverse engineering by humans. They didn't study our history. Our fastest technological development has always been during war time, and our greatest leaps tend to happen after we reverse engineer the enemy's tech and apply our own ideas on top of it. Once the first battle was over and enemy tech retrieved, the technological advantage was almost certain to swing the human direction. And humanitarian treatment? After interrogating the prisoners, and knowing what the likely noticed before the war, yeah that in and of itself became a weapon. We have entire libraries dedicated to the psychological aspect of war. Made me almost feel sorry for the elders. Almost.

Operation paperclip got us to the moon.

Its also utter fecking garbage. There is literal historical precedent for that statement.
Ever hear of the Tupolev Tu-4? Its a literal reverse engineered B-29. The Soviets took a B-29, and reverse engineered the thing, and the Tu-4 had more reliability issues than the original B-29! Which is saying something as the B-29 was utterly stuffed with them in the early years.
Now this is with a contemporary aircraft, that was built using technology that the Soviet Scientists and Engineers were familiar with. There was no really new tech in there, nothing that was using principles they did not understand or had not yet discovered.
Yet in every way the Tu-4 was worse than the aircraft they had reverse engineered it from.
And you are trying to tell me we would be able to reverse engineer tech based on concepts that for us might only be mathematical?
Sorry but no. Every engineer worth their actual salt shakes their head in dismay every time Hollywood or some clueless Sci Fi Author throws in the words 'reverse engineered', because unlike Hollywood writers and fiction authors they actually UNDERSTAND how difficult in reality that would actually be....
In the end the Soviets would have been better off just designing their own aircraft.... Indeed thats what they ended up actually doing. The Tu-4 was that bad.

@@alganhar1 Ah but you're missing a critical fact. It's a fact of necessity when storytelling. That fact is the storyteller doesn't dare going into accurate details on such matters, as it detracts from the story. It's why history is full of storytellers and authors who flinch in almost physical pain when people who are obsessive/compulsive about realism proverbially stick their finger in the pie, as those people are making the tale worse, not better. Remember, it's science fiction - not science fact. For science fact one should read published journals or technical manuals.

Ah, Humans ... the wildcards of the galaxy.

[@wrathshorts2894]

Humans: War? No. We shall tech you the ways of WAAAAAAAAAGH!

[@DavidVincent-f5l]

I'm pretty sure that I heard this before, the story that is.
To many stories have similar plot points.

[@SnordCranston23]

Enjoyed the story and narration very much. Thanks!

[@daniellore2961]

The Grien fight for the wrong reason. Safety and stability should be byproducts of liberty and blind justice. Thats what a person should fight for.

Elder races? Tyrannical confederacy? Let us introduce you to one of our legends, Che Guevara.

[@seankane8628]

Heard of, yes. Respect...nope. He was an idiot.

[@taetannim3581]
