Reminds me a lot of the story of Tri-Planetary and the eventual Lensmen series that came from that. Humans capture, reverse engineer, and modify all the tech they come up against, so that no two battles are fought the same way as the conflict expands, going from ship to ship, to massive fleets, to literally throwing planets at each other, to a beam that uses an entire star as its focusing lens, and the final one was a pair of planets, one made entirely of antimatter, accelerated in another dimension to beyond light speed, and then dropped out into normal space with a fold of the other dimension following, so the two world collided around the enemy capital planet.

The others are extinct, we didn't want the competition. We'll be fine, we will go to a war economy. A: what's that? H: it's what we do when we fight bullies. A: but we are your first contact! Evil grin H: oh sorry, we kinda didn't mention we are bullies.

We just been bullying ourselves

I like to think the times are wonky due to differing planetary orbits. Like 400 days is actually like 10 earth years

[@Youtubecensormydick]

I think with the right tech and motivation we could do it.

[@trgyfhgnt3]

there's probably a difference yeah, but nowhere near that large,

I like to think, in an alternate Mass Effect universe, if the Quarians discovered the humans in the 21st century, this would be how it would go down: the Quarians would arrive in Sol and be granted refugee status in exchange for scientific and technological know-how. Then, alarmed by the rapid expanse of the human-quarian alliance, the Batarrians would strike, thus awakening the sleeping giant.

They really went toe-to-toe with the one branch of service that basically made a reputation for themselves by fighting every clime and place...those dreadnoughts never stood chance. 😅😅

Zanzi first mistake: Sending an alien race to earth that the humans would take pity on that would also warn them about the Zanzi. Second mistake: Sending said race with ship that had advance tech compared to what the humans had. Third mistake: Taking a year to realize that needed to put a stop to what was happening. Fourth mistake: Sending a fleet Fifth mistake: allowing their approach to be noticed. Sixth mistake: Not realizing that No other race could challenge them, well... except the humans.

Their main mistake however is that they never considered that the Danik would tightly cooperate with Humanity. They forsaw that Humans would greet the refugees the same as they would have, face to such a small and feeble "trespassing" force: with a swift, merciless and barbaric response driven by a natural xenophobic, self-defence reaction.

Seventh Mistake: let us borad the big pew pew floating boat

Humans: why are you running?

You know I like a well disguised poem. No, there's no rhyming, alliteration, or sing songy turn to the words, however there is one repeated reprise. The core sentiment the point the emphasis. Except the Humans. its a wonderfully beautiful little thing.

Great story classic sci-fi from the 50s and 60s. Will be looking for further additions.
