Well tbf if we've mastered space travel, FTL drives, living on space stations & have recently learned to terraform in a more primitive fashion than these new aliens, as the story implies, then mastering the ability to float or create an artificial island in a shallow part of the planet would probably not be too far out of the realms of possible avenues. I mean its not exactly lacking in water obviously so all we'd need is terraforming materials like soil if the planetary soil isn't viable, growable food, livestock & depending on the planets salinity, we'd maybe need a desalination/filter kit to stop contaminants and salt from spoiling the water. Essentially we could terraform a large oceanic planet to an extent already if we had the ability to get there with currently invented equipment, so a few hundred years and miracles of technology later and we'd probably be able to do it with little issue other than logistics.

So the aliens engineered a bug to terraform water worlds into their methane worlds. The bug can survive space and they infested all of their solar system with it. The earth ships took no precautions against it, possibly carrying it to earth and the future colonizable worlds, all of which are water worlds. Humans gave the Zaldi the secret of FTL knowing they could destroy earth with one small exploratory vessel filled with this bug.

Even if they don’t leave their planet, they can try to do what we do. Looks at planets most similar to our own to look for the potential of life. Communication signals escaping the planet, light pollution of civilization, or sending probes to take photos of the surface of the planet. Basing possible life on their own isn’t completely wrong either because otherwise, their search would be every single planet which may be too much data.

Ok, the first big mistake in the story appears at around 7:25. For us, the dominant theory concerning Base 10 being the dominant base is due to our 10 digits. Then the latter explanation regarding the absolute importance of 8 shown by the lines: "Every Zaldi vessel had a series of manipulator arms, ALWAYS in multiples of 8,". Meaning, if there's more, it'll always going to be 16, 24, etc. Implies due to their psychological and physical characteristics, their math would also be base 8 not 14. And it's even funnier, no offense, really found it funny, when they announce the capsule approach in 10's: "30, 20, 10, contact" instead they would of went 42, 28, 14, contact, or in base 8 24,16, 8, contact. Just something to watch when you switch to an alien race, not to let human measure become their measure. Otherwise, I really loved the writing, and reading, it was quite enjoyable.

Only issue with your statement. Your primordial soup was already life because organic compounds don't exist without living cells having first been there to bind them together. Meaning your theory of the origin of life is that life came from life. And your primordial soup has not been seen anywhere on earth yet, so its existence is hypothetical at best. So, just as a Christian can not show you his sky dady directly, neither can you show your super soup. So you shouldn't be poking holes in a story using an imaginary stick.

Just a slight inconsistency I caught. 😅🤔 Edit: I also noticed that the Zaldi have 12 homeworlds, which would make it logical to be base-12 instead of 14. Though that's not required, it kinda gives closure to the fleshing out of the race.

That suggests to me that their bodies are producing tholin compounds that they then use for food. I wonder what the reducing agent is or if they even use one. It's possible that their cells could use a Metal-based catalyst to release the energy as needed.

That passage didn't make any sense, actually. It talked about a signal being delayed by seconds with a response coming in six hours with quite awkward wording. Still, the air supply situation could easily be resolved within the four hour time window by recharging the suit's oxygen supply, either from the Zaldi oxygen bottle or from the human ship.

this story literally described a centrifuge the wrong way around. The gravity generated by such a device would always pull away from the center, thus having the ceiling face outwards is... well... the wrong way

I really like this narrator. He has a commanding voice with a touch of tinnyness that reminds me of old scifi radio shows.

So Kinghillians or Vallens are now calling themselves Zaldi? I guess they got tired of the marsxion empire making fun of them. 0:19
