[@broEye1]

I noticed one odd thing: on the last line, she doesn't say they'll KILL everyone who tries to enter, only that they'll KEEP them. She also didn't actually confirm when the captain said that they'd killed others who entered. Could it be that they actually just captured some/many of them, gave them places to live in their territory or even allowed them to be uplifted too?

[@idcgaming518]

A good theory friend. I heard that too.

[@angrydragonslayer]

Whenever someone says they'll "keep" someone irl..... I hope your assumption is right because the alternative..... The original 4chan guy who posted the home intruder milking meme was actually milking a (male) thief

[@-cogito_ergo_sum-]

Or maybe experimented on, after all that's what they get for being a filthy xeno

[@taitano12]

There are many options. From the altruistic types you mentioned, to harsh slavery, to an eternal hell like the ones in our mythologies, to other, more bizarre fates. Heck, it could be all of the above, depending on who enters and their motives and intentions.

[@citizen_grub4171]

@@taitano12 No one as advanced as the humans in this story would need, or want, slaves. That would be a downgrade.

[@nweasels]

....Did... we grey goo ourselves? I think we grey goo'd ourselves.

[@Starlitsoul0359]

I think they also may have not wanted to spread that fate to the other alien species, so they pretty much just secluded themselves away and avoid contact like the plauge. Buuuut of course when people enter their space they can’t just let em leave. Otherwise they’ll tell, and possibly spark the other species to do the same.

[@jesseamaya4413]

ABSOLUTELY we Grey gooed ourselves while evolving into a 5th or 6th dimensional beings while at the same time interweaving the very human trait of wanting to help and assist into the part of us we left in 4d space.

[@davidaward82]

late reply, i know, but i think this author has written others before where humanity had uploaded itself into matrioshka brains and use remote ships and AI ships

[@nk_3332]

Galaxy: We have stardrives and quantum weapons! Humans: We have apotheosis.

[@scotteggert9820]

Even when ascended, Humanity is still the most compassionate Assholes in the universe.

Dude, you made me snort coca cola out my nose. That should be engraved for all eternity, no better description of humanity.

[@peterwall8191]

Oh hell no! Humans setting themselves up as gods to the rest of the galaxy! What could possibly go wrong?

[@julonkrutor4649]

[@nocount7517]

Finally, a one-shot with a full resolution!

[@lumberluc]

So humanity turned into Necrons but without the whole "murder, murder, death, death!" Mentality. That's a good direction. Removing the abilty to sin, and replace it with progress.

[@veryorangecone5379]

Help someone when they're in trouble and they'll return the next time they're in trouble

[@citizen_grub4171]

Oh no. How horrible.

[@donanthebarbarian5177]

As mentioned by the humans though, only if you are truly in desperate need will we help, and even then only if you can't resist/resolve the extinction/complete racial enslavement level problem you've encountered yourself. If you are not in truly desperate need we will just keep those who entered to ask for help.

[@phantomwraith1984]

So humanity steamrolls trespassers and assholes with black star destroyers. Also "Nanomachines, son!"

[@thirg424]

Good story and good job narrating.

[@lancekostecka368]

Very nice loved this story.

[@brianlips8346]

Thanks for the story 😊☺️

[@victortahlor4038]

Thank you for the reading

[@daveretash9153]

That felt good, thank you.

[@bananabreadguy7960]

Pyramid ships? Must be goaulds.

[@Voron_Aggrav]

Or a sense of humour, referencing the ancient joke of "Aliens" whenever the pyramids construction is brought up

[@johnsanford3596]

Different. Humans as the enigmatic, uber-isolationist super advanced aliens is a bit of a switch from common sci-fi.

[@onerxowns2202]

[@barstool9156]

DESTINYS TRUE ENDING CONFIRMED?

[@Inquisitor-Yog-Sothoth]

They didn't ascend, they wiped them selves out and replaced everyone with AI that thinks it's human. They are just renegade AI.

[@Sanquinity]

Humanity as it once was is indeed dead. But the minds of those humans still live on. It's not a renegade AI, it's human minds being uploaded into machines. (or to be more specific, grey goo I.E. nanobot swarms.)

[@gabrielandradeferraz386]

chrysalys anyone?

[@DeSpaceFairy]

Yes but no, assuming an AI is capable to simulate your mind and memories at 99.9999999991% accuracy, down to the smallest quirk making your personality unique and way of thinking. Then all the closest people to you (even you if you wish) have a discussion with this simulation, then discern absolutely no difference at all between you both. Don't you think that simulation is as human as you can be yourself. If you think this isn't the same, just a machine with a convincingly copying your mannerisms, consider the following. You are not your brain a mere hardware, and not directly the emergent property of its neurochemistry, a.k.a intelligence a software, likes all of us and the universe we are able to perceives with our limited human senses around us, our experiencing of what we call reality, are the rendering as inputs and the interpretation as outputs from either an organic or synthetic computer(different methods same results).

[@citizen_grub4171]

@@DeSpaceFairy OK. So you're saying people with amnesia are dead.

[@DeSpaceFairy]

@@citizen_grub4171 it depends of definition you attached to "people" or a "person", I have a parent with Alzheimer syndrom I can say that the person they was is no more, and what is left are the pieces of a fragmented mind stuttering before resting every 10 minutes or so.

Tried to listen but couldn't get used to your way to fast speech mixed with your mumbling words together. Not every sentence I meant to be SuPeR TheAtrICal man. If everything you say is emphasized, then nothing is.
