Holy shit, this is a story for the ages. Hats off to the Author

[@DrSigma24-7]

Truth. An outstanding narration and story.

-So you are telling me that those things will come back, even hungrier than before, until we burn all their planets? -Yes. -And that they are unfeeling, violent monsters that just want to eat everything and everyone? -Yes again. -Someone has been reading Heinlein a lot lately it seems. -Who? -Forget about it.

[@howardchambers9679]

Hahahaha! Best comment! I often wonder if today's sci fi fans have actually read the old authors. Someone left a comment about inconsistent science facts being distracting, i suggested they read some EE "Doc" Smith. But then I don't suppose reading an actual paperback is a thing for them anymore. Loved Heinlein back in the day. Still have a couple of his books that haven't fallen apart from rereading.

Ya, that sounds like humanity. Or more specifically Like Wesley from The Princess Bride. Win by poisoning both glasses and trusting you'll survive lol.

[@krevor4095]

Wesley (The Dread Pirate Robert) didn't just trust. He prepared and built an immunity over time. Why? Just in case.

[@Ben111778]

Knowing more than I should, I'd have to say they had already secrety tested it on both people and one of the swarm they had somehow managed to capture and already knew while building the big bang how it would effect both species. The elites don't tempt Fate, but definitely try to control it!

True; because if you don't survive, it's no longer your problem....

[@Ben111778]

Wow! After listening to so many AI broken stories... this was a great one! Minus 1 point for the doubling up of almost the same sentence in the middle of the story... but this story actually had a beginning, middle and understandable end! It had continuity, character development, story telling skills far better than any of the AI stories I've heard!

Yea net narrator does sometimes repeat himself but that's usually editing mess ups. He truely reads them out.

[@erikjrn4080]

Well written, good voice narration, coherent story, a well executed literary narrator device and perspective that actually suited the story, and I could go on. The best storytellers are still human. They're just not being employed by Hollywood, which instead keeps making AI look good.

I enjoyed this story very much. I can tell the author sweated blood to keep it as short as it was, it could have been a novel. Two thots: if the blob fed on planets with life, why did it gain an advantage when it engulfed the moon? Wouldn't that have sapped energy from it? Also, how does a probe outside a spaceship scan the brains of humans inside? But the hfy quotient was too high on this one to mind such details too much.

[@AlleluiaElizabeth]

There were defenders on the moon when it took it, most likely.

[@krisgibbon2199]

​@AlleluiaElizabeth Not to mention the loss of all the defensive emplacements.

Im going to miss all the aquatic mammals and sharks. Who all drowned/sufficated when the disruptor was activated.

[@Ben111778]

Meh. An ocean with out sharks ain't that bad a thing. But the aquatic mammals would survive, being capable of holding their breath far longer than a himan can.. and the humans survived. The same as turtles, snakes, crab n lobster types, the aquatic mammals be fine.. the ones too small who can't would more than likely naturally float to the surface and automation take over as it's all sketched out, like humanity did.

hmm ,but with that complexity of intelligence and self modification capabilities should not the swarm started to track the transmissions from those deep space probes back to the supposed 'dead' planets and got ..curious ? then agen , maby it was something like entangled or 'split' particles used for the remote control that not left any 'particle traces' though also , considering its not just a planet but a galaxy extinction situation having lost a couple of billions when hearing it more or lees was a bio version of the 'grey goo' scenario should have made the general rather go ''oh we 'only' lost a couple billions' ...and then pause the conversation to quickly inform all surviving scientists in those fields and governments so that the short term drafting of every able bodied person for combat and every baseline cognitive stable person for production should be extended indefinitely and a civilization wide swift information dispersion arranged for all to understand why , as the general return to the first alien contact diplomacy while others start design plans for generation ships and either meteor canons or flat out solar nova inducing catalyst warheads all while every factory not used to re-arm the current forces start supply a rapid reconstruction and expansion of the lunar base , but with equall frenzy also the deployment of armada of stellar raw resource harvesting and the foundries and orbital dry docks needed to build self sufficient migration war fleets to send out both as 'survival seeds' and also as vanguards of those tactical system strike generation ships before said general also bring news at least one species civilization where ready to form a pact of mutual survival and extermination with a complete share of all its assets and manpower how ever humans see wish to use it for the war doctrines and species quirks that provided the only victory ever vs the bio swarm
