God knows what would have happened if they ever saw a Rugby match. Bravo Sir Encore!

So we've upgrade from "Don't touch our boats!"....these poor poor aliens when this humanity gets established in space

[@Wastelandman7000]

"...rest well cadets" And said without irony LOL

[@Tiewaz]

I almost feel sorry for the aliens because eventually, humans will start migrating outward.

[@Wastelandman7000]

I see the aliens reenacting Monty Python and the Holy Grail. "Hi, I'm a huma...." Xenos: "RUN AWAAAAAAAAY!" Human mutters, "Was it something I said?"

[@barelyasurvivor1257]

Great reading and the professor sounds perfect.

[@jeffhall4228]

Bravo, another great story. Bravo to the author as well. Thanks to you both.

Wait'll the top secret video of ice hockey gets released. "They have a sport where they wear boots on their feet with what are essentially knives attached to the bottoms of them." AVOID THIS STAR!!!!

[@richardplass8453]

Went to a fight and a hockey game broke out!

​@richardplass8453 so boring.... sad really 😞

[@cquilty673]

Shall we address the local cuisine? Recreationally imbibed substances? Uses of and activities involving dihydrogen oxide? Development and training of their young? The horrors seem endless...

Its been a while since you read a deathworld story, much enjoyed.

This is one of the less dangerous sports. Baseball... Those poor poor xenos...

lol they kidnapped Lizzo.

[@tabithachastain6999]

I'm assuming you're talking about the height and fat to muscle ratio? The height I have to answer for, but in terms of primates on Earth, most humans have a much higher fat to muscle ratio

"lol they kidnapped Lizzo." And the crowd goes wild!!!!

Fahrenheit? That definitely sounds like some alien system of temperature measurement 😜

As for the aliens Cadets, I had to make the math to convert from FrEeDoM units to civilised units...

"0.3 times faster" would actually be 70% slower...

[@melkiorwiseman5234]

Yes. Should be just 3.

[@robertstoneking7916]

about one third faster.

[@m.h.6470]

@ no, that would be "1.3 times faster". Something "times 0.3" ist only 0.3 or 30% of the original.

[@carsonrush3352]

You multiply their speed by 1.3

[@m.h.6470]

@ then the sentence would need to be "1.3 times faster"...

[@fluttershyisnotadoormat4678]

when something is 0,3 times faster then it is about 3 times slower... math is important

[@melkiorwiseman5234]

I noticed that, too. It should be just 3.

[@robertstoneking7916]

Faster means in addition to. If A goes 10 MPH and B goes .3 times faster B goes 10+(.3X10)=13 MPH. 3 times slower would be 10-(3X10)=-20 MPH which would be traveling in reverse.

[@fluttershyisnotadoormat4678]

@@robertstoneking7916 faster means multiplier. What you said would be 1,3 not 0,3

[@fluttershyisnotadoormat4678]

@@robertstoneking7916 times slower means division or multiplication by the reverse. 3 times slower means 1/3
