Humanity is like a non-newtonian fluid; when free, it flows wherever and generally makes a mess of things. Give it some pressure and watch it solidify...
Alien race decides to be adopt humanity. Seperate alien race decides to bully humanity's adoptive parents. Humanity as a whole: *SO YOU HAVE CHOSEN EXTERMINATUS.*
They gave us a toy car, we turned it into a remote controlled car because turning it into a bomb would have been rude. But when someone hurts the people who gave us toys, we turned those toys into bombs, because not doing so would have been rude.
We're like the family guard dog. Smiles and wags and pets and playing. Doggy smiles and playful arguments over couch ownership. And then the psycho breaks in to kill our family, and suddenly we're teeth and snarling and going for the throat and hamstrings because THESE ARE OUR PACK AND YOU WILL NOT FUCKING TOUCH THEM. And then the intruder is dead and we're right back to wags and pets and a slightly red-muzzled doggy smile, and only that redness remains to show the fanged primal viciousness that is belied by our friendliness and affection, and only directed towards those that mean our people harm.
tbh, i fully expect the humans left some sort of singularity or nanite bomb and gave them one last chance before wiping a few square lightyears from existence
@@justinconnelly5011 they blew up half the galaxy the aliens were from and then said dont f with our family. theres a tiny bit more after demanding surrender..... also a pet doggo XD
@@emeralddragon2980 yea the fact they sent a single ship, wich proceeded to absolutely book it out of there, means we all know they left a nice little present there. i am assuming from the fact that it ends at the warning to surrender, wich was already ignored once, that said agressor race has been thoroughly deleted, the only possibly remaining specimen, assuming they look alien enough, to be found in human Zoos
So, basically... Tasmanian Devils. Little black balls of fuzz, until the fighting starts, then the mouth opens and bites down with enough force to crush bone.
When you come across a group of angry, combative predators squabbling over a fresh kill, trying to take a piece is not a recipe for a long and healthy life.
Kor: How could you have beaten us? The calculations said that it was impossible! Humans: You couldn't possibly know what we would do if _we_ didn't know what we'd do.
Probably seemed really innocuous to them at the time. I feel like most races wouldn't bother studying the history of a war-like race in that universe, as they'd probably expect to see the same song and dance.
Ey! Did you just attack those? They are the arch enemy of my great great grandfather, whom I despised and whose already dead! If anyone attacks them, it is me!
One species of alien finds us cute as puppies and adopts us Another species tries to hurt our new friends, the puppies turn out to actually be giant Dire Wolves.
@Lurking Carrier I like to think of it as a simpler warning. We sent 1 ship to slowly trundle into the middle of their territory, killing anything sent to engage it, never even slowing down. Proving they couldn't out fight us. Then it left faster than they could even track it. Proving they couldn't out run us. If you can't win the fight, and you can't run away, and we proved all that with 1 ship, imagine what we could do with 10, 100, or 1000, we highly recommend you listen this time.
@@cgi2002 Pretty much what the US did to japan in the 1850. Sent a few ships on the coast of Japan just to flex on them and make them realize how much they were outmatch, forcing the diplomatic demands they had back them. Also triggered their industrial revolution and got a nasty surprise a century latter, but that's humans for you.
@Lurking Carrier No for some reason the story was cut short. The version on reddit ends with them destroying half the galaxy. Then the friendly aliens realise that humans think dogs are cute. And that they themselves look alot like the humans dogs. And humanity sends a call across the entire universe not to mess with their buddies again.

@@boxtank5288 Only issue I have with that is we aren't even close to being apex predators, which I honestly think should scare "aliens" more. I haven't heard of a Space Orc story revolving around that point yet. Out of a 1-5 on the Apex scale, we are a 2.2. Yet we still kick the pants off of any actual apex predator with tools, clan bonding and preparation (basically we are Apex Batmen). Everything else was solid tho XD.

@@wrathshorts2894 The humans, I think, knew they were doomed. But where another race would surrender to despair, the humans fought back with even greater strength. They made the Minbari fight for every inch of space. In my life, I have never seen anything like it. They would weep, They would pray, They would say goodbye to their loved ones, then throw themselves without fear or hesitation into the very face of death itself, never surrendering. No one who saw them fighting against the inevitable, could help but be moved to tears by their courage, their stubborn nobility. When they ran out of ships they used guns. When they ran out of guns they used knives and sticks, and bare hands. They were magnificent. I only hope that when it is my time, I may die with half as much dignity as I saw in their eyes in the end. They did this for two years. They never ran out of courage. But in the end, they ran out of time.
First story : Yeah the part where they fucked up was when they thought we would role over for them. The minute they attacked one group of humans, even if they were the most hated, the rest of humanity immediately said as one, "Bitch no you didn't!" Immediately followed by, "Ok. I got you." Second story: You never touch a humans friend. It's the quickest way to find out how short your life can be.
Well . . . if the group of humans was the most hated by other humans, it's possible the others will decide 'Okay. All things considered, the aliens had good cause. Okay." But if those aliens then attack other humans, it's 'The first lot, okay. Couldn't really argue those humans were worth fighting for. But now, it's Elmer Season!"

"They left a single brodcast... "Surender" The response never came. The few snipits of information we managed to collect, before *it* hapened, was a second wawe of ships emerging from the planets, readying for a second assault, and dozens of blimps, indicating human ships poping out of FTL all around the enemy worlds, all across their territory, just for a split second, only to jump again, what folowed afterwards... was an explosion. A chain reaction of explosions, that cracked the planets, burst the stars and made the sky of the enemy territories turn black. No habitable planet, no mining station, no ship or survivor left.

First story: The best way to beat humans is to work a faction against another. The best way to get your head handed to you on a platter is give them a common enemy.
In short: none of us are as cruel as all of us. Look at all the horrors we visit on other humans. Think of what we will do to another species not even of Terran linkage that decides to try pushing us around. *Imperium of man noises intensify.*
ah the alien mindset "how can humans be a threat to anyone else, they constantly fight themselves." makes vaguely threatening gesture at human outcast faction humanity: "*chuckles* you're in danger."
Human infighting weakens them in the moment, but it gives humans long-term strength. It gives humans *practice.* Humans have a lot of practice when it comes to war.

In the 2nd story I imagined the sudden turning of 50 billion human heads directly at where the Kor just invaded, snap, (Humans) "Did they just attack the little Colchester Conglomerate mines?" Jaws music begins.
They never seem to realize most of our tech advances are from adapting military tech for other uses. Humanity has a serious hard-on for warfare, always has. Give us a reason to stop using this against eachother and unite against a common external enemy, and even we dont know what were capable of.
I like to think that in this universe Humans are outliners, normally an alien race will first create a technology to improve the quality of life of their civilians and then after quite some time they will find military aplications. Humans do the exact oposite, first they create big ass weapon of mass destrcution and only after some time, that tech is used outside militar aplications. Species like the Kor and Cl´Mir´Ni most likely had this process of tought, they belived that our weapons of war were not that advanced because of our civilian tech, so they were completely caught of gaurd when our ships had the ability to wipe out their military fleets on one shot.
Indeed. I thought of this earlier. "Humans may not be completely unified. However, all of that fighting amongst themselves has caused them to be quite adept at war. The tenacity that drove them to fling themselves at sub light speed towards a planet that they, nor their children, or their children's children had any hope of seeing; that has proved that if even a fraction of their species lives, they will never give in without a fight. The might of this race against those who would attack them, the rage that will never be forgotten due to that tenacity. That is why we are to Never attack them."

Humans are Cute… Until they’re not… A classic example of someone adopting an adorable if odd looking pet. Only to later learn (upon home invasion) that the adorable, clumsy, oddly intelligent bundle of floof you’ve invited into your home to stay can in fact, at the drop of a hat, transform into a towering shambling shapeless horror with more eyes and teeth and mouths than physically possible. This you learn of course as it calmly and unobtrusively devours your enemies and leave their holdings in ruins. Before once more returning to the adorable floof you’ve known all this time, once all has been consumed and retribution wrought.
#2 reminds me of the Spartans reply to a Macedonian emperors message -emperor:"if i come to your land will it be friend or foe?" -spartan king:"neither" -emperor:"when i come to your land i will raise it to the ground!" -spartan king:"if" -emperor: *PROCEEDS TO NOT INVADE SPARTA*
Not only did Emperor Philip II of Macedon not invade Laconia (Sparta's kingdom), his son, Alexander, better known as Alexander the Great, the guy whose conquering skills led to HUNDREDS of conquered cities renamed after him all the way to freakin' INDIA, did not invade Laconia either. The King of Sparta's response successfully caused a GENERATIONAL conquerboner killing, the second of whom was one of the most conquerboner sportingest, empire-buildingest mofos to ever LIVE. THAT is how badass that response was.

I love the cute human story. "They sent one word and one word only 'RUN!' " like wow that's brilliant 👏 I loved it. And then warping in with one ship and sending the word "surrender" like damn nice double flex
Then we snort the bone dust and proceed to drive to their home planet, steal their girlfriend, Molotov their house, make fun of their mom,s Facebook minion memes, and force their entire civilization into an unconditional surrender
It reminds me of a old US army commander that was surrounded by Germans. The Germans told them surrender, and the commander gave one word in reply. "Nuts!" Even our allies had to be explained what that one meant.
1st story: we are like a family that loves and hate each other yet we have each other's backs when things happen. 2nd story: we're like cats and dogs cute, adorable, and cuddly yet we have claws and teeth. Don't mess with those that we call ours.
The full secomd story It's very common for other races to find humans 'cute' as the adults are only half the size of even the shortest G'ling. They are small, normally smell alright and are always doing something bizarre and crazy. Much like children. So it was only natural when they joined the fold of the universe we took them in, much like children. We felt superior, as if we must guide and protect these humans, especially from themselves. Our race in particular is very close to humans. We particularly thought of humans as adorable children, and many of our female kind take to becoming nursery teachers for them, as we find them ever so adorable. We actively try to make sure all ships have one as well, not only for their cuteness but their amazing problem solving skills. And humorous mistakes. Helps pass the boring voyages. Humans were always watched where ever they went, and were surprisingly innovative in their designs and technology. It was much like handing a child a toy race car and coming back an hour later to find they had turned it into a remote control car. How you have no idea, but they look so happy that you can't bring to ask 'why did you do this?'. Well, we should have. When the Cl'mir'ni came, and attacked our planet, we thought we were dead. A race so powerful and advanced, we expected to have no chance. Still we aided our alien friends to safety, and tried to hold them off. We pleaded for aid from the mighty Zu'mog'ha. Alas, they were fighting to protect their territories. We resigned ourselves to death, and prayed our people-the little that we could fit on the colony fleet-could run far enough to survive. Somehow in the chaos, the humans were alerted. They sent the enemy one single word. And only once. -Run- But the Aliens did not heed their warnings. And so the humans came. And within an hour the ships threatening us lay in wreckage and scraps. We watched a video stream, transmitted to the whole galaxy, as the humans wiped them from our home sectors. It would have been stunning but never terrifying if they had stopped there. No, they didn't stop. They sent a single ship to their galaxy my friends. The ship went to the middle of its worlds. Then it booked it from the galaxy. Why? Were their armaments too hard to defeat? When it left they sent a single message to the enemy. Once again. -Surrender- The aliens doubted them, after all who can blame them? One ship enters and later flees? Well it wasn't fleeing we discovered. The camera feed switched to a box in the middle of space, with a planet in the far background, their home planet to be exact. I realized what the ships goal had been. It had dropped a black cube. It could be no taller than I, a being 2.5x bigger than the tallest human. But why? The answer came in a moment. All feeds cut out and then there was silence. Next was an active star chart, one that actively mapped out the galaxy of the enemies. A humans voice sounded. "Ah well, we only got half the galaxy. Well, it was the only half inhabited anyways. Ow! Sorry boss was that recorded?!" Next a stern man appeared, with another man running away behind him. "A notice the the universe, you do not attack our family." He looked seriously at the screen. A four legged animal ran up to the mans feet, and I noticed it looked surprisingly like our race. But much smaller. Very much smaller. And it... Barks?
These two completely different alien races learned a very dangerous lessen. When humans are given a reason to kill, not dominate, kill, there is nothing you can do but ask your god why it hath forsaken you.
Close but not quite true... The only thing you can do is watch as your god is squashed like a bug before your eyes and then see the thing that killed your god turn in your direction.
Humanity when fighting amongst themselves/their allies are not under attack: (Silence) Humanity when outside forces attack/their allies ARE under attack: Haka Scene from the show "See"
You're not wrong. I read a book on the subject that said in groups where there are no differences and no conflict, people will make up differences just to have conflict. Only the introduction of an external threat will unite them again.
This always reminds me of a quote from Doctor Who: Demons run, when a good man goes to war. Night will fall and drown the sun when a good man goes to war. Friendship dies and true love lies. Night will fall and the dark will rise when a good man goes to war.
To paraphrase my favorite scene from that episode "Good men don't need rules; today is NOT the day to find out why we have the geneva convention". is it bad that I'm amused by the fact that we're so damn good and terrifying at war, that we actually have to have rules AGAINST doing some stuff. The scary/funny thing is that I can totally see some alien civ looking through our history and going "Yeah, no. You can't do that, that, that, THAT, certainly not that, that one's RIGHT OUT, and just fuck no!"
Humanity is a large family with many, many siblings. We tease one another, we make friends and enemies with one another, we even fight one another and it is normal. But once someone outside of the family bullies even one of us we all stand united against that bully.
Aliens: We will attack the humans! Humans: You think warfare is your ally? You merely adopted warfare. I was born in it, molded by it. I haven’t seen peace till I was modern.
“It’s like watching a child play with a race car, then to come back and find they turned it into a remote control race car, then to come backs and find out they weaponized the race car and had killed every one else in the house with it.
Humans generally: We are one, united into a single being, Praise Humanity! Humans when their alien friends get harm: *Do You Like Ethnic Cleansing? Would You Like To?*
G'ling: The humans are so cute ... let's take care of them. Humans: *grumbles* I'd cut them to shreds for being so damn patronizing ... *sigh* but it's clear they mean well. *Cl'mir'ni attacks* Humans: *smiles* Nothing is so satisfying as to have someone to take your frustrations out on.
Or when Edward, the Hammer of the Scots, invaded Scotland (almost obviously), Stirling Castle surrendered. Surrender refused, because he had just bought a new siege engine, and wanted to test it. After a couple of days, the survivors tried to surrender again, and were refused again. After a week, Stirling was totally wrecked, and Edward was happy with his new purchase.
I have to make a second comment on the "calculation" part of the first story: "postulate 6: humanity entering the equation means everything else cancels out"
The old alien in the first story realized that humanity has a special mental state called the "Oh HELL nawl" state. We will get revenge no matter what it takes.
I like the balls of the last one. The jump into and out of enemy space around their home worlds is a clear message that the force that eliminated their armies is fully capable of arrive at their doorstep at any time.
Humans having a battle royale when suddenly a wild alien joins in. Faction 1: "Do we know these guys?" F2: "I don't think so." F7: "Do we have any treaties with them?" F15: "Nope" F23: "Bring out the nasty weapons ! The ones we banned in the past 500 years! Time to see some fireworks!"
Reminds me of the Death Worlder stories, where it turns out because of human evolving under earths gravity and the shear amount of things that could kill them on their home world they are stronger faster and more violent than most other alien races.
As Philip II of Macedon was conquering Greek city states, Sparta was left alone. Philip had achieved a crushing victory, and Sparta looked relatively weak and without walls. Philip sent a message to the Spartans saying “If I invade Lakonia you will be destroyed, never to rise again.” The Spartans replied with one word - IF
Basically the second story is like when a big softy dog befriends a chihuahua, it’s small cute, and kinda stupid, then it gets mad at someone for kicking the other dog and turns into a vicious murder rat.
I have always like to imagine that humans are more akin to the flood or the zerg. The aliens just observe because they really do not want to whack the proverbial hornets nest with a stick, lest they wake the horde. Instead they manipulate events to keep humanity from progressing to phase two,
@@AgroSquerril Another take on the same concept::: Could have it go to the extent that in the distant past, humanity actually was spacefaring, and most definitely acted much like the Zerg and such, taking over and converting/assimilating worlds, using them up in the process. The rest of intergalactic society fought back. They managed to push the human threat back to earth, despite the heavy losses, and had to come up with a solution. While some on the intergalactic stage wanted complete extermination, the others viewed extermination as a not harsh enough punishment. In the end it would be agreed upon to create a virus that not just reduced the reproductive rate but would "Regress" the humans back to a pre-tech, cave dwelling species. The aliens would then unleash this along with a nano-swarm that would destroy/break down anything that was human made. Observers would also be placed to keep an eye on humanity to ensure they never develop into a spacefaring species again. In essence, aliens got their revenge in such a way that from a fiction writers standpoint could explain humanity's seemingly instinctual desire to go back out amongst the stars.
@@DemonAbyss10 but then so much time passes that humanity is forgotten about, until eventually we resurface and find the operating bases that once monitored us gather its data, translate it, and realize everything that happened, where then a choice of peace or a choice of returning to war is present. In the case of returning to war, the virus has been actively made useless due to our evolution and exposure to viruses that branched off from the original virus (hence the viruses that have evolved on earth being made into offshoots) where humanity now is completely immune to such biological warfare, and now we bide our time and unite against our rivals in the stars, utilizing every single planet in our solar system as either staging grounds or resource gatherings, then we expand, advancing our technology with one goal in mind. Extermination, War. After secretly studying our foes due to our now far more strategic planning and vastly different behaviors to our rebooted evolution requiring different traits to be emphasized and expanded, we are essentially a completely different species, but the hatred burns the same. We learn their ways of life, we learn their governments, their family systems, their beliefs, their desires, their fears. And we improve ourselves, where we are lacking we make redundant through automation, if automation cannot be done we make humans specifically to fulfill a function as if it was automated, where we are inferior, we reinforce with firepower and rage. We advance until we have no more resources to do so upon our home systems, then we strike. A simultaneous explosion across their main military planets, whether it be guided meteors flung at the speed of light to the bombing of their stars, they are struck upon their days of celebration, their putrid peace that was built upon our near extinction...within a day a system from each of their species falls with nothing but confusion, but questions, but rumors....and then a transmission across their worlds is broadcast. "To the citizens of this federation, to its governments, to all but us...we would like to educate you, we would like to teach you, because you may have forgotten about us...but now...we remember you" **De-masks and shows a human face that they are not familiar with since evolution and change of appearance** "WE, are humanity and we have changed, and now, you shall know fear" **virus bombs a few worlds from each species, from the deadlier and more complex viruses that evolved from the "precursor virus"** ANNNND SCENE. maybe I'll make a story about this.

I adore this depiction of humanity as the "single most chaotic and thus powerful force anyone or anything could ever stumble upon". Anything short of benefitting us would result in an unpredictably quick "clean wipe" of everything you claim to exist

In a lore point of view, the turians rely on the Salarians for military intelligence and the asari for diplomacy while humans are self sufficient in all categories. We would win in the long run, as the Turians don't have the ferocity of the Krogan. They wouldn't wipe us out, but rather try and make a vassal race of us like the volus, and we all know how humanity takes to long term servitude as a collective.

@@wrathshorts2894 The humans, I think, knew they were doomed. But where another race would surrender to despair, the humans fought back with even greater strength. They made the Minbari fight for every inch of space. In my life, I have never seen anything like it. They would weep, They would pray, They would say goodbye to their loved ones, then throw themselves without fear or hesitation into the very face of death itself, never surrendering. No one who saw them fighting against the inevitable, could help but be moved to tears by their courage, their stubborn nobility. When they ran out of ships they used guns. When they ran out of guns they used knives and sticks, and bare hands. They were magnificent. I only hope that when it is my time, I may die with half as much dignity as I saw in their eyes in the end. They did this for two years. They never ran out of courage. But in the end, they ran out of time.
First story :
Yeah the part where they fucked up was when they thought we would role over for them. The minute they attacked one group of humans, even if they were the most hated, the rest of humanity immediately said as one, "Bitch no you didn't!" Immediately followed by, "Ok. I got you."
Second story:
You never touch a humans friend. It's the quickest way to find out how short your life can be.
Basically, the first story is summed up as “It’s okay to hate your siblings, but no outsider can lay a finger on them!”
"They're our family. It's our job to beat them up, not yours."
Well . . . if the group of humans was the most hated by other humans, it's possible the others will decide 'Okay. All things considered, the aliens had good cause. Okay." But if those aliens then attack other humans, it's 'The first lot, okay. Couldn't really argue those humans were worth fighting for. But now, it's Elmer Season!"
The first story is the epitome of "You mess with one bean, you mess with the whole God Dam Burrito!"
The fact that said aliens had an obsession with efficiency that humans would interpret as unfeeling corporatism might have helped a bit...

Welp, guess country B should have thought that out better

I like to think that in this universe Humans are outliners, normally an alien race will first create a technology to improve the quality of life of their civilians and then after quite some time they will find military aplications.
Humans do the exact oposite, first they create big ass weapon of mass destrcution and only after some time, that tech is used outside militar aplications.
Species like the Kor and Cl´Mir´Ni most likely had this process of tought, they belived that our weapons of war were not that advanced because of our civilian tech, so they were completely caught of gaurd when our ships had the ability to wipe out their military fleets on one shot.

Then we snort the bone dust and proceed to drive to their home planet, steal their girlfriend, Molotov their house, make fun of their mom,s Facebook minion memes, and force their entire civilization into an unconditional surrender
Aliens: BUT THE CALCULATIONS!
Humans: calculate THESE 🥜🥜
lol
Humans: Never tell me the odds!! aaahhhhhh!!!
@@sirpieman300 the aliens be like:
Damn the risk is calculated but i am really bad at math.
It reminds me of a old US army commander that was surrounded by Germans. The Germans told them surrender, and the commander gave one word in reply. "Nuts!" Even our allies had to be explained what that one meant.
Humans: numbers are just that numbers, and eventually they all look the same.
1st story: we are like a family that loves and hate each other yet we have each other's backs when things happen. 2nd story: we're like cats and dogs cute, adorable, and cuddly yet we have claws and teeth. Don't mess with those that we call ours.
The full secomd story
It's very common for other races to find humans 'cute' as the adults are only half the size of even the shortest G'ling. They are small, normally smell alright and are always doing something bizarre and crazy. Much like children. So it was only natural when they joined the fold of the universe we took them in, much like children. We felt superior, as if we must guide and protect these humans, especially from themselves.
Our race in particular is very close to humans. We particularly thought of humans as adorable children, and many of our female kind take to becoming nursery teachers for them, as we find them ever so adorable. We actively try to make sure all ships have one as well, not only for their cuteness but their amazing problem solving skills. And humorous mistakes. Helps pass the boring voyages.
Humans were always watched where ever they went, and were surprisingly innovative in their designs and technology. It was much like handing a child a toy race car and coming back an hour later to find they had turned it into a remote control car. How you have no idea, but they look so happy that you can't bring to ask 'why did you do this?'. Well, we should have.
When the Cl'mir'ni came, and attacked our planet, we thought we were dead. A race so powerful and advanced, we expected to have no chance. Still we aided our alien friends to safety, and tried to hold them off. We pleaded for aid from the mighty Zu'mog'ha. Alas, they were fighting to protect their territories. We resigned ourselves to death, and prayed our people-the little that we could fit on the colony fleet-could run far enough to survive. Somehow in the chaos, the humans were alerted. They sent the enemy one single word. And only once.
-Run-
But the Aliens did not heed their warnings. And so the humans came. And within an hour the ships threatening us lay in wreckage and scraps. We watched a video stream, transmitted to the whole galaxy, as the humans wiped them from our home sectors. It would have been stunning but never terrifying if they had stopped there.
No, they didn't stop. They sent a single ship to their galaxy my friends. The ship went to the middle of its worlds. Then it booked it from the galaxy. Why? Were their armaments too hard to defeat? When it left they sent a single message to the enemy. Once again.
-Surrender-
The aliens doubted them, after all who can blame them? One ship enters and later flees? Well it wasn't fleeing we discovered. The camera feed switched to a box in the middle of space, with a planet in the far background, their home planet to be exact. I realized what the ships goal had been. It had dropped a black cube. It could be no taller than I, a being 2.5x bigger than the tallest human. But why?
The answer came in a moment. All feeds cut out and then there was silence. Next was an active star chart, one that actively mapped out the galaxy of the enemies. A humans voice sounded.
"Ah well, we only got half the galaxy. Well, it was the only half inhabited anyways. Ow! Sorry boss was that recorded?!" Next a stern man appeared, with another man running away behind him.
"A notice the the universe, you do not attack our family." He looked seriously at the screen. A four legged animal ran up to the mans feet, and I noticed it looked surprisingly like our race. But much smaller. Very much smaller. And it... Barks?
Its all fun and games until you harm the space fluffies humanity is fond of.
“We’re just numbers 99, just numbers.”
“Not to me, to me you’ve always had a name, Hevy.”
RIP 99. You brave, beautiful clone.
-Run-
Like a demonic boom echoing from a cuddly kitten.
This made me giggle.
Ever seen Nicole Watterson? She's also a cat but she's got wells in her eyes to trap souls in.
"You have 8 seconds before i will find ammo for this railcannon."

These two completely different alien races learned a very dangerous lessen. When humans are given a reason to kill, not dominate, kill, there is nothing you can do but ask your god why it hath forsaken you.
Close but not quite true... The only thing you can do is watch as your god is squashed like a bug before your eyes and then see the thing that killed your god turn in your direction.

Humanity when outside forces attack/their allies ARE under attack: Haka Scene from the show "See"
I have a feeling we only fight ourselves to be kept busy and if we really, actually, unified politically we'd be a galactic menace. Eventually.
probably
That would require a essentially a one world order and no one wants that. Even if it means colonizing other stars
Practice makes perfect.
You're not wrong. I read a book on the subject that said in groups where there are no differences and no conflict, people will make up differences just to have conflict. Only the introduction of an external threat will unite them again.
3 cycles, we need to get our tuxedos out
On “Humans are Cute…” I guess the humans took those aliens in as well as family. No one touches Familia.
I now want a story of aliens hurting alien friend of a Mexican family, like say Don alejo(seriously everyone should look this bad ass up)
@@ettibbet5493 looked his ass up, was not disappointed.
This always reminds me of a quote from Doctor Who:
Demons run, when a good man goes to war.
Night will fall and drown the sun when a good man goes to war.
Friendship dies and true love lies. Night will fall and the dark will rise when a good man goes to war.
To paraphrase my favorite scene from that episode "Good men don't need rules; today is NOT the day to find out why we have the geneva convention".
is it bad that I'm amused by the fact that we're so damn good and terrifying at war, that we actually have to have rules AGAINST doing some stuff. The scary/funny thing is that I can totally see some alien civ looking through our history and going "Yeah, no. You can't do that, that, that, THAT, certainly not that, that one's RIGHT OUT, and just fuck no!"
When you threaten their space waifu mommys, the "hummiez" are going after you.

Humanity is a large family with many, many siblings. We tease one another, we make friends and enemies with one another, we even fight one another and it is normal. But once someone outside of the family bullies even one of us we all stand united against that bully.
that reminds me of a story I had for my childhood...but I don't think this is the right place for that
Someone once said,"
-Fear the man who has nothing to lose.
-Be terrified of a man who has everything to win."
Aliens: We will attack the humans!
Humans: You think warfare is your ally? You merely adopted warfare. I was born in it, molded by it. I haven’t seen peace till I was modern.
I am the darness , I AM the Night!
“It’s like watching a child play with a race car, then to come back and find they turned it into a remote control race car, then to come backs and find out they weaponized the race car and had killed every one else in the house with it.

Humans: *grumbles* I'd cut them to shreds for being so damn patronizing ... *sigh* but it's clear they mean well.
*Cl'mir'ni attacks*
Humans: *smiles* Nothing is so satisfying as to have someone to take your frustrations out on.
Alien:the humans are weak exterminate allies then them
Humans:ya know now i get to test out the atomizer 9000
Or when Edward, the Hammer of the Scots, invaded Scotland (almost obviously), Stirling Castle surrendered. Surrender refused, because he had just bought a new siege engine, and wanted to test it. After a couple of days, the survivors tried to surrender again, and were refused again. After a week, Stirling was totally wrecked, and Edward was happy with his new purchase.
@@Egilhelmson gotta love the warwolf
I have to make a second comment on the "calculation" part of the first story:
"postulate 6: humanity entering the equation means everything else cancels out"
The old alien in the first story realized that humanity has a special mental state called the "Oh HELL nawl" state. We will get revenge no matter what it takes.
I like the balls of the last one. The jump into and out of enemy space around their home worlds is a clear message that the force that eliminated their armies is fully capable of arrive at their doorstep at any time.

Faction 1: "Do we know these guys?"
F2: "I don't think so."
F7: "Do we have any treaties with them?"
F15: "Nope"
F23: "Bring out the nasty weapons ! The ones we banned in the past 500 years! Time to see some fireworks!"
F9: i have a group of bored engineers who wants to add new things to Geneva. who is with me?
@@wrigthtalekenavi2066F50: yo dude we nearly got voltron ready co e on
Reminds me of the Death Worlder stories, where it turns out because of human evolving under earths gravity and the shear amount of things that could kill them on their home world they are stronger faster and more violent than most other alien races.
So you’re saying Australians are practically superheroes in space?
It's just a mining colony, what's the worst that could happen?
Humans: Allow me to introduce my friends and I. We brought "toys."
As Philip II of Macedon was conquering Greek city states, Sparta was left alone. Philip had achieved a crushing victory, and Sparta looked relatively weak and without walls. Philip sent a message to the Spartans saying “If I invade Lakonia you will be destroyed, never to rise again.” The Spartans replied with one word - IF
That's the second message. The first message was "When I come to Sparta, should I come as friend or foe?", to which the response was, "Neither".
Basically the second story is like when a big softy dog befriends a chihuahua, it’s small cute, and kinda stupid, then it gets mad at someone for kicking the other dog and turns into a vicious murder rat.
The first one was good, but the second one genuinely made me smile and laugh. the "nuts" feeling of telling the alien invaders to run was just awesome
I have always like to imagine that humans are more akin to the flood or the zerg. The aliens just observe because they really do not want to whack the proverbial hornets nest with a stick, lest they wake the horde. Instead they manipulate events to keep humanity from progressing to phase two,
interesting
@@AgroSquerril Another take on the same concept::: Could have it go to the extent that in the distant past, humanity actually was spacefaring, and most definitely acted much like the Zerg and such, taking over and converting/assimilating worlds, using them up in the process. The rest of intergalactic society fought back. They managed to push the human threat back to earth, despite the heavy losses, and had to come up with a solution.
While some on the intergalactic stage wanted complete extermination, the others viewed extermination as a not harsh enough punishment. In the end it would be agreed upon to create a virus that not just reduced the reproductive rate but would "Regress" the humans back to a pre-tech, cave dwelling species. The aliens would then unleash this along with a nano-swarm that would destroy/break down anything that was human made. Observers would also be placed to keep an eye on humanity to ensure they never develop into a spacefaring species again.
In essence, aliens got their revenge in such a way that from a fiction writers standpoint could explain humanity's seemingly instinctual desire to go back out amongst the stars.
@@DemonAbyss10 but then so much time passes that humanity is forgotten about, until eventually we resurface and find the operating bases that once monitored us gather its data, translate it, and realize everything that happened, where then a choice of peace or a choice of returning to war is present. In the case of returning to war, the virus has been actively made useless due to our evolution and exposure to viruses that branched off from the original virus (hence the viruses that have evolved on earth being made into offshoots) where humanity now is completely immune to such biological warfare, and now we bide our time and unite against our rivals in the stars, utilizing every single planet in our solar system as either staging grounds or resource gatherings, then we expand, advancing our technology with one goal in mind. Extermination, War.
After secretly studying our foes due to our now far more strategic planning and vastly different behaviors to our rebooted evolution requiring different traits to be emphasized and expanded, we are essentially a completely different species, but the hatred burns the same.
We learn their ways of life, we learn their governments, their family systems, their beliefs, their desires, their fears.
And we improve ourselves, where we are lacking we make redundant through automation, if automation cannot be done we make humans specifically to fulfill a function as if it was automated, where we are inferior, we reinforce with firepower and rage.
We advance until we have no more resources to do so upon our home systems, then we strike.
A simultaneous explosion across their main military planets, whether it be guided meteors flung at the speed of light to the bombing of their stars, they are struck upon their days of celebration, their putrid peace that was built upon our near extinction...within a day a system from each of their species falls with nothing but confusion, but questions, but rumors....and then a transmission across their worlds is broadcast.
"To the citizens of this federation, to its governments, to all but us...we would like to educate you, we would like to teach you, because you may have forgotten about us...but now...we remember you"

**virus bombs a few worlds from each species, from the deadlier and more complex viruses that evolved from the "precursor virus"**

maybe I'll make a story about this.
@@stealthbrawler Go for it. I was kinda drawing some inspiration from the whole story of Set Abominae that Iced Earth puts into their various albums. Definitely worth a visual novel.
I expect that an area about a light-year in diameter is under quarantine. "Humans live here, roll up windows, turn off radios, and proceed along the marked route. Thank you".
yeahhhhhh, the only reason we fight amongst ourselves is because we have no one else who is bothering us
I like how those stories have aliens be shocked of human tendencies for guerilla warfare and how we always first make the bomb and only then an energy source when we find some fuel
Or alternatively
Alien: What untold destruction
Human: Yep, that's what a nuke can do
Alien: How did you even
Human: Well we Uhh, we found a way produce a lot of energy if it's stabilised, right?
Alien: Uhh huh...
Human: So what happens if you take off all of the limiters and hit the energy stuff really hard, like dropping it from orbit
Alien: ... And you use this stuff to power your city's
Human: Yep :)

Human 2: Oh, they work, very well, given their intended purpose.

Alien : ......I see. **existential terror intensifies**
Warping in and just sending out the message "Surrender." Before warping out... I can see Humans doing that.
The second story gives me a mental image of a human child holding the throat and brain of Cl'mir'ni soldiers like "Daddy! Daddy! Look what I got today!"
The alien:... That's great son *internally screaming*

Humans destroy those ships.
Turians *invades planet and conquers it in a week. Also turians "I think we got them all".
*Humans sending in am entire fleet "PARRY THIS YOU FUCKING CASUAL"
@Lurking Carrier yeah, but iirc Mordin points out that humans are too diverse to be predictable on a genetic level in his loyalty mission. The turians could've pushed all the way to earth, but that would've just made us fight harder and smarter.
On a game point of view, Shepard would've been born a few decades later and they would've been stopped or outright conquered.
In a lore point of view, the turians rely on the Salarians for military intelligence and the asari for diplomacy while humans are self sufficient in all categories. We would win in the long run, as the Turians don't have the ferocity of the Krogan. They wouldn't wipe us out, but rather try and make a vassal race of us like the volus, and we all know how humanity takes to long term servitude as a collective.
