I mean, Geneva is on Earth, and the checklist... I mean guidelines... That bears its name are solely for how humans wage war against *other humans*

Fear not the parent with a child, but fear the parent without a child any more.

[@nocount7517]

"I confronted the subject with the hypothesis that children are their weakness, and how we could exploit that weakness." You'll be a daisy if you do.

[@bradleyadams5252]

A word of warning to all enemies of humanity: don't touch the child!

Or the boats

[@goatkiller666]

Okay, that’s impressive that she could be that forward thinking while being tortured that bad. Though, we know torture just gets them to tell you whatever they think will make the pain go away. But at this hypothetical Lvl4 torture level she not only fed the enemy misinformation, she fed then misinformation she 100% knew would result in the enemy targeting a LOT of children. She knew that’s what it would take, but still… that’s a steep price she unilaterally decided the humans needed to kick their asses into genocide mode.

"Strong emotional attachment to children, we may be able to exploit this". *Actually famous last words*

Suffer not the alien to live.

For the algorithm

[@jadesidhe2634]

The algorithm now ignores the algorithm posts. You have to say something unique each time

[@peterwarner553]

[@peterwarner553]

The algo sucks, unlike the story, that was pretty good.

[@jennifersalt3194]

Why would humans jump to the conclusion that Dr. Paris was a traitor who was “working with the enemy” just because they thought the shuttle explosion was “no accident”? This is a pretty vague reason for slandering someone who is clearly ethical and heroic. Why not assume that she was taken prisoner? Or, at least consider multiple possibilities? Jumping to conclusions, assuming the worst of their own people, poor intelligence-how did these people manage to so thoroughly defeat an enemy? You could have the same revelation at the end of story, by having the General say, “These sadistic bastards never figured out that information gained under torture is unreliable” or “These sadistic bastards excel at torture-it’s considered almost impossible to resist beyond level two-yet Dr. Paris was still scheming at level four.”

[@RequiemPoete]

Because most people don't understand how to mitigate torture. First is silence, then when you can't be silent, babble nonsense, then when you have no more nonsense, give convincing lies.
