Aliens Dismissed Humans as Weak, Until They Scanned Earth's Atmosphere | HFY | Sci-Fi Story

Some leaders: "We must surrender!" Other leaders: "We must fight!" Me: "Win later. The choice is a false dichotomy. Set up the groundwork for future resistance, if they turn out to be bad masters." Reality: I'll never be in a position of power, because all so-called 'leaders' do is gatekeep to keep everything for themselves, rather than benefit the future of humanity.

So, how does Commander Silas know about "ants"? Oh, someone else had the same thought... Nevermind. However, it took the Apollo missions 4 days to get to the moon.

[@tonyv8925]

And, Earth's scientists examined the recovered wreckage of alien ships and reverse engineered the technology to advance Earth's space capability and weapons. Interesting story.

Sounds like lizards , deceptacons, like our wars!

What is an "Oxygen-18 pulse" weapon supposed to be? Are they like spray can?

[@richardm3023]

"These creatures are like ants!..." How the hell does an alien know about ants?

[@jimsavage147]

Ants have been building colonies a lot longer than humans, and we know aliens have been coming to Earth since ants evolved. If they smell something good they will end up in a spaceship looking for it. Apparently there are ant colonies on other planets

@@richardm3023it’d be fun watching a movie with you, pointing out inconsistencies in the story the whole time. Most people hate it when I do that sh*t

[@aristoclesathenaioi4939]

I am still not clear what the aliens would want from Earth. Is there something on Earth that the aliens find valuable?

[@jacobshort6528]

This story sounds like a technobabble-ized space opera. Like if the Star Wars movies included pop-ups of info from the Technical Manual books. There used to be Hard Science fiction, that used realistic Science and Math to move the story forward. Robert A. Heinlein stories about the Howard Families and the Colonizing of Space; H. Beam Piper's stories of Little Fuzzy and the Second Race of Humanity, and The Space Vikings. People who used slide-rulers and advanced mental math to develop FTL.

Author seems to have difficulty with the idea that atmosphere only exists near a planets surface. Sure, an EMP can radiate further, but from where did all the craft come that human pilots are using to engage the aliens beyond the atmosphere?

[@chrissimpson453]

Yea but in the story they entered the atmosphere and the atmosphere although becoming much thinner does extend for hundred of miles beyond what we consider the technical beginning of space

[@jacobshort6528]

Yup. The satellites and the I.S.S. do have orbits degraded by the upper reaches of the atmosphere.

Invasion not yet begun but ground forces using guerrilla tactics are effective ? Inconsistencies in these AI stories ruin what should be good stories.

The A.I. captioning is even worse than the story. The voice says: "Vraxar", but the captioning texts say "Vaxar". Names, proper nouns, and puntuation totally escape AI. Thus proving that it truly IS artificial intelligence.
