The only thing wrong is that humans will remain one single civilization with the exact same goal.

[@k0rf3on6]

Common goal is enough.

[@MrHuntingClaw]

If humanity obtained technology that could withstand all of the galaxy's fire power without any scratch, while also being able to demolishing all opposition with a single attack, it wouldn't be too far-fetched to believe they have obtained technology to practically become immortal, so with immortality in mind, having one single goal for a whole civilization isn't too impossible, except for the simple fact that humanity is ruled by the natural law called "change".

[@slashmonster0528]

Well let’s say this they didn’t have any other culture than the one of the fathers and they also got space age tech no resources to go to war over no opposing ideals no history just one similar goal

[@MrHuntingClaw]

@@slashmonster0528 The one thing I don't get is how they learned of their purpose, I suppose the whole "Father" thing was a naming choice of theirs, but the whole purpose, perhaps they had a chat with the target, even though it weren't explicitly stated. As for the year thing, they must have counted the galatic calendar differently since the trap set in and warped space around them, so they were locked up for about 15 000 years.

[@AntonioPerez-wf2lf]

@@MrHuntingClaw I think when the enemy noticed it was losing they tried to tell them, "they stuck you in here with us." And humanity responded with, "no, you're stuck in here with me."

[@andrewstrongman305]

This is a wonderful twist on the common trope that it requires external enemies to bring humans together. I can easily imagine humanity declaring a jihad on any alien attackers. Given an ongoing, existential threat we can't communicate with, we'd make their extermination our primary goal.

[@jaytonobrien6325]

I want to see this come full circle where humanity has chased and hunted down the darkness so far that it tries and kill us before we were created. Restarting the events of the monsters and the father's fight but this time the monster are racing against time. The longer the take humanity will catch up but it they exterminate the father's worlds that will create humanity faster.

you can't let the suspension of disbelief take you over for 20 minutes? you can't fathom a humanity where we were forced to fight off a vicious race of murderous aliens for thousands of years? you can't see how a planetwide battle between species that lasted millennia would unite humans? pity.

[@leredspy6815]

Ye cause the billions of ships bigger than stars are more believable. Or the generators that can create a barrier over an entire system or more worth of resources. Or that humanity managed to advance faster then any of the other older races. The most unbelievable thing is people at large working together.
