Humanity Refuses To Surrender | HFY | Short Sci-Fi Story

[@goatkiller666]

Perhaps I am a pedant, but it starts about the Centari and the wise scholars of Andromeda. Centauri is a trio of stars orbiting each other. It’s about 4 light years from earth. Andromeda is a galaxy. Depending on which measurement, it’s at least as large as the Milky Way, perhaps as much as twice as big. It’s about 2.5 MILLION light years away. I mean, that’s like bragging that they not only killed the slum part Bakersfield California AND all of Asia. Talking about the two things as though they are comparable is just silly.

Errr I got lost when the luminaries turned into humans or something. Sorry continuity is important

[@MountainFisher]

My thoughts exactly, where did the Lumerians go?

[@Shanbo26]

Ah, what happened to the Lumarians? You spent the first half of the story building them up into a formidable opponent only to have them vanish when humanity arrives on the scene, not saying another word about them. Loose ends are the hallmark of poor writing.

[@sarahjenkins4013]

Wow!

[@JoshuaAskali-lc6yb]

Nice story, But could I ask, can you do like the Human's Splitting into four, the Earth Federation, The Martian Imperial, the Jupiter Empire, and the Mercury Republic.

[@JoshuaAskali-lc6yb]

And the Fifth is the Elite Empire which had Billions House's, and Only Observer's to See only Human Battle's.

[@IceFiction404]

We will try

[@MrBojax]

This sound's like a solid story from HFY has been rewritten in by AI, terriblely I might add.

[@sebastianbenner977]

Wish you would upload the script somewhere. I much prefer reading in my own speed to listening.

[@Noah-zf6nf]

Good story 👌🏾

[@IceFiction404]

Thank you

[@Nihtglom]

Andromeda? So they went extra-galactic?

[@malcolmwilson4894]

Seems the Draxians wanted the whole universe but got distracted by the Lumarians and then by the Humans. Terrible writing.

[@jaridbillings2484]

My God take a writing class. Don't repeat the same word twice in the same paragraph. Did AI make this?

[@gh30rgh3]

I think it's pretty obvious that Ai indeed wrote this pointless mash

[@barenekid9695]

Writing of the : it was a dark and stormy night... level . Garbage quality basically.

[@gh30rgh3]

this is what you get when ai writes for you

[@adamb89]

"Gorilla tactics"

[@Nikoli492]

Gorilla warfare 🦍

[@grogvaughan5649]

Yep, a great story based in facts.

[@CarsteneZ]

Bogus AI - what happen Lumias tangent ?. Wasted time.

[@lyrigageforge3259]

AI text as some have figured, as I too suppose. State that claim once, why did you not write to show it is show - no need to try and instantly claim it is so, because the reader / listener could have observed it is so. State that claim twice, and it clashes at the eyes and ears of the audience, because we do not suffer from immediate amnesia over what has been stated in the short story. State it trice - now you are just abusing the writing tool called 'repetition' - which has purpose of stressing something, causing an affect kin to special effect in order to focus our attention, to make a point. In fact that's also why it turns boring and old to hear the same thing over out again but in tiny different changes to make the same claim or declaration about our human spirit. And then - make that statement even more times - now you are just turning it into a question - more speculating if what is said is even true, than actually showing it is. Repetition turns a question done times many enough - a sign of uncertainty. Now let me explain in short to you, what the word sisu means, being the main characteristic of my Finnish countrymen. It is the will to walk through a grey rock of granite, never mind how impossible that is. It is more than to never give up. And there - no more words needed should there be a story built around that concept - which to is unnecessary, because the history of Winter war exists and shows enough - making it really unnecessary to even have stated as much. My point here - the AI does not know what it compiles, like many out there will probably be unaware of my country's history, not all, but many. AI just can't really understand it, not really - at this point AI still need human teachers. Anyhow, if a repetitive story, which even forgets those others it first built up - was of human origin - then the author does not have a mature idea of the story yet, they are too occupied with other stuff, tired, mentally stressed, forgetting multiple variants of the parts there in, not having edited enough or simply in love with their sentences and unable to remove some parts. It is not unusual for such a mess to occur here and there when one writes - cause nothing is instantly done, when a writer starts. But also - there ought to be limit to that. And the stupid thing is, these ideas have potential for a story there - it just has gotten a bit... lost. Telling a story is more than finding hundreds of ways to use synonyms to declare the same underline claim within the intended legend.

FYI A large portion Heinlein’s novel Citizen of the galaxy takes place aboard Sisu

[@Vaquero4382]

Sorry, that soliloquy in the middle was too much. I'm out. Was a pretty badly written story, anyway.

[@davidturner4824]

Great story.
