First one - yes human can work as pack hunters, and literally adopted wolves into the pack to help with the hunt, Also it is much easier to pick off a few ships at a time and whittle the enemy down than to engage an a full scale battle. You do not want a fair fight, you want to be the guy with a bug club standing over the isolated little critter. Second one - Be very afraid of a species that calculates what it will take to remove a mountain and does so just for grins and giggles.
everytime i read "expeditionary force" in an story, i always remember of my father, all the stories he loved to tell me, he was part of the brazillian expeditionary force in world war two, in itally, he and both mine uncles, i know they had a pretty fucked up experience of war, but i always remember how they always used to bring the best stories when i was growing up... private edgar saraiva, i miss you =) dad, someday we will be together again =)
I am Welsh, I regularly hear people complaining that we have too few vowels and too many consonants. You know something odd? Those complaints generally come from people who have never once looked at Yr wyddor Gymraig, The Welsh Alphabet. We have 7, not 5 vowels (Y and W are almost always vowels), and our alphabet is NOT the same as the English alphabet. We have no K, as our C is always hard as in cat. We do not use V (we use f for that), x (does not exist as a sound in Welsh), Z (does not exist as a sound in Welsh), and so on. We have sounds delineated by multiple letters, dd, ll, ch, ff, ng. Two of those (ch and ll) have no equivalent in the English Language. And so on. What is the point of this? Well it is really rather simple, if you do not know the alphabet, thus the proper pronunciations, its probably best to actually keep quiet. There is a reason why when you learn a new language you generally start with the alphabet.....
First, humans don't mind turning your space into our own special Vietnam. Second, humanity is used to attrition warfare and will easily shift into that mental state when need be. The battle of Verdun is one such example. Our warriors also have a strong sense of brotherhood for their fellow troops. We have issues with mountains blocking us, fair warning.
First Story: Any human with half a brain would know the battlecruiser disappearing, then suddenly asking for help would be suspicious AF. Xenos, man, if it weren't for their numbers they'd be dead already. Second Story: Yup, that sounds like marines.
Strange the xenos didn't mentioned all the crayons. Probably just though it was some strange human nutritional supplement 😂 (I'm a former Marine, I can make fun of myself and my brothers and sisters)
All these stories considering space battles reminds of the Dominian wars in the TV series Deep Space Nine. Star fleet could have learned a thing or two from the author of story #1.
Starfleet had gotten too complacent at the very top to be able to properly wage war. The last war they'd actually had to fight was 50 plus Earth years ago. They were used to small skirmishes.
Greetings, Mentlegent! For the Rhythm that is Algo Story 1: Day 49: OH NO! AAAAAGHHH! BOOM Story 2: Various shades of "We're going to die" except the humans. By the four headed one! Haha Too many consonants.
When a species figures out exactly how much explosives and where to put the to make a mountain disappear with out friendly casualtys because shits and giggles then be very afraid when they turn to use explosives on you (because we all know they did not need to remove the entire mountain)
Guy I know went to one of Those classes. One day one of the instructors started the lecture with, "There is No problem, physical Or societal, that cannot be solved by the proper application of the proper amount of explosives".
The second one, that comment about “not dumbing it down” reminds me of the movie about hacksaw ridge, they actually had to make it so he allowed himself to be sent down the cliff earlier in the movie then he actually did in real life because they thought folks might start to think they were embellishing to much or something.
There is an saying going back hundreds of years that covers the second story quite well, "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb".

1st story was essentially “welcome to the rice fields mother f[CENSORED BY GENERAL HO CHI MINH THE 297TH]”
Plus the howling makes for good psychological warfare
well i'm pretty sure the first one is a reference to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfpack_(naval_tactic)
They didn't move that mountain for the good times and campfire stories. They moved it for their brothers.
Winning 100 small battles is easier than one big.

2nd story
Guy's complaining about too many consonants while having the most consonants I've ever seen in a name that long
Ive heard polish names have lots of consonants too, i like to imagine aliens names sound like bad beatboxing

So then their names must have quite a bit if it puts him off.

"For the algorithm" sound like a battlecry!
I can almost hear legions of soldiers charging while screaming "For the algorithm"
Second story. SNAFU. Situation Normal, All Fucked Up.
Followed by FUBAR, it sounds like.
My brothers will understand and that's all that matters. The soldiers curse for all history. But thats good enough for me.

For the wolves, for that band of brothers, for the algorithm
I wonder how many "for the algorithm" comments youtube has removed as spam.
For the algorithm
For the Algorithm, For the Author(s), For the Disembodied Voice!

Truly immersive
A Interaction for the Interaction God, a Comment for the Comment Throne, for the Almighty Algorithm
No comment! Too emotional for my usual. both stories hit close to home.
For the algorithm and the narrator.
