Our Expedition To Proxima Revealed A Lost Colony. Their Evolution Was Beyond Belief | Sci-Fi Story

[@robliptak93]

Confused. The Proximans had genetically modified to live in a hostile atmosphere. The humans removed those protective parts. Was there enough space suits to protect the Proximans?

[@darrenjohns8694]

The arrogance of the terrans in this story is truly staggering. And I also wonder as to why information on the mission objective would cause any problems if their mission was truly just one of exploration.

[@SHADOWXIXX]

Imagine landing on an alien planet and having the GALL to deprive them of their genetic history and culture.

[@harmlessratz7151]

Done that to our own plenty of times, no reason to do that to others. Humanity is a cruel race

[@juliansearcie1758]

Callous race.

[@MultiSteveB]

As a "weapon of last resort" to protect the crew and ship from Kale's faction who resorted to not just violence, but invasion. Kale didn't first demand the Perseverence leave their world - he just skipped that and went straight to "Kill! Kill!"

[@BrokenDiety1]

​@MultiSteveB they could've just left. Why was that off the table?

[@frocurl]

Pretty cool story. Unbelievable the core maneuver would definitely be a last option not the best option

[@jamesrogers1554]

Ummm…the explorers are obviously the villains of this tale. Not sure why they didn’t just take off and expose the attackers to space. Instead they just f’ed an entire civilization.

[@belegarironhammer3200]

cool story bro 😉👍👍

[@sandrakiefler4649]

WOW, I really enjoyed the one my dude. Definitely one of my favorites tho I must say……them transforming the people back was probably the single dumbest thing they could have done, considering their differences were vital to their identities. Whether an experiment or not it was playing directly into the things that made them want the explorers to leave. Idk, maybe I’m wrong but I think it would have brought tremendous hostility…not cooperation. But regardless I really truly liked this one! Thanks for sharing 😉👍

[@GalacticHorrors]

@sandrakiefler4649 Thank you :) Your insights are always interesting and appreciated.

[@teresagoodman-walters7720]

I agree

Remember this: when and if the time comes to go to another planet, WE ARE THE ALIENS.

[@MultiSteveB]

How is it that the Proximan colony was achieved, and yet hundreds of years later it seemed like a historic, monumental thing for a ship to travel there? Was the Perseverance a FTL ship, while the original colony ship for Proxima was a sublight sleeper ship? If FTL communication with the colony was possible, how did it come to be abandoned (from Earth)? If FTL communication was *not* possible, how did the "masters" who engineered the experiment expect to get reports?

[@ReturnToSender1313]

Should’ve just left the instant they found out they were compromised. And left the traitor behind

[@commandericeman8588]

As Captain, I would've departed as soon as the Proximas began to hold public demonstrations that we leave them alone. I would've let them reach out to Earth on their own when they're ready to establish diplomatic relations. As the good pastor Terry Anderson mother would tell him as a child, "Never go where you aren't invited or welcome." That is what the Captain failed to understand. He and his crew had overstayed their welcome. Who knows, a couple hundred years from now, as humanity continues to explore space, they may encounter a hostile species that humans have difficulty combating and had they left the Proximas intact, it could've been a game changer.

They were fighting for their lives. Clashes like that aren’t a garden party, so “Debo;ving” them was mercy. If you don’t think so, you probably haven’t been in a situation like that.

Fantastic story telling

[@matthnbllester]

Few questions... but the end... kind of made my day!

[@quantjonna293]

I don't understand how a colony in the closest star system to Sol can become lost. Especially looking at the original intensions of the colony. Maybe a star system much further would have seemed logical.

[@CaptainPilipinas]

'I don't understand how a colony in the closest star system to Sol can be lost. Espec-'. ANY kind of intelligent beings type races/versions of Mankind Across all fictions out there that are still pre-true FTL-capable era civilizations anyways. hm. (and UCN/pre-ISA era Humankind (for example) during in their 2116s learns that experience hard first hand....).

[@MultiSteveB]

35:48 "It's like rolling back hundreds of years of evolution in a matter of minutes." Evolution normally works on timescales of hundreds of millenia, not hundreds of years. It'd be like "reverting" someone in 2023 to the form of someone from the 16-1700's. Truly a dizzying change. Kale was IMO a fanatic, but his only true error was resorting to violence in attacking the Perseverance. Captain Ethan was (presumably) losing in the fight, and was forced to use any means at his disposal to preserve his ship and crew. The discovery that the Proximan's history was a lie propagated onto them means they were the victims - but not of anybody still living on Earth. Had Kale not resorted to violence this revelation _could_ have paved the way for the Proximans *individually* choosing to be reverted in a controlled process. But history will never know.

A great story of why you should not push your ideology or way of life onto others who do not want that, no matter how righteous you think you are being in doing so. Moral Busybodies are the worst, they will do untold horrors and impose their will onto others and demand they live, feel and think the way they are told to for "the greater good" or "progress" or whatever excuse those who wish to control others hide behind in their deranged thought processes.

[@teresagoodman-walters7720]

Kale was right. The Perseverance had NO right to make that decision for the Proximans without permission. What if an alien race came here and converted us into their species without permission? I know i would fight like hell.

[@Poetryman6969]

Agreed. That was my first thought. Being alien or alien hybrid is not a disease to be cured. This reminds me of a story I read once where we came across aliens who talked to non-existent entities in their heads. When we in our hubris took that away from them, they were lost and lonely. The hands off, no interference policy may have more merit than we may realize. There are other considerations as well. One is reverting the aliens could be a death sentence. They were supposedly adapted to their environment. Another glossed over problem is this: If you rewrite the DNA of a being--including the brain--what happens to personality and memories? It is not reasonable to think there would be no effect. It would not surprise me if some came out as vegetables, some died, some went mad, some had the knowledge and experience of human infants and every other possible variation of human personality.

The earthlings were attacked unnecessarily. Self preservation dictated the response

[@WingManFang1]

So….uber plot hole no one talking about. The MC crew were the first manned flight to Proxima, on record, cool. The Proximan’s could not be Humans from the same earth because they had human Ancestors on Proxima if their ancestors left earth by the time our current crew officially launched the maiden voyage of humanity to Proxima then by the time they reached Proxima by their perspective Thousands or millions of years would have passed on earth. And that’s accounting for Time dilation from FTL travel. The humans of Proxima weren’t possible unless it was from a parallel reality.

[@harmlessratz7151]

Due to difference in gravity,solar radiation,bacteria etc genetic manipulation is a must for future colinization. A well written and well told story

[@CaptainPilipinas]

'-difference in gravity, solar radiation, bacteria, etc, genetic manipulation is a MUST for future coloniza-'. (meanwhile, one of those...examples,-that I know for example-like G.A Humanity's (but not alone in achieving those feats of theirs) own take for them).

That reminds me of the novel All Tomorrows.
