Oh Dear God the Humans sent a real estate agent as an Ambassador!😆

No. They sent someone who plays tabletop wargames. If it's not expressly prohibited by the rules then it is fair game.

Not Like we have thought about this for the Last 500,000 Years when looking up at the stars? 😎The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

[@ScorpiusZA.]

841 million systems in 30 years. Even hitching a ride on willing neighbour ships, visiting that many is an impressive feat.

[@kevmag874]

a new system every 1.12 seconds

@@kevmag874 I didn't even think to do the math on that...... okay. That is nuts.

Without rules, humans will do everything and anything

FTL birthright after 30 years is 841 million 382 thousands and 24 systems, they fucked every body 🤣

[@snipe4k418]

That sounds EXACTLY how we would do it in the future. No doubt. If only we united as Humans and stopped wars

[@lilbitesgames385]

45 years*. 15 year jump then another 30

[@jaimes350]

that would be the fastest way to piss of every species in the galaxy instantly and get your ass kicked big time.

[@criticalmasseu1]

@@snipe4k418 don't forget, Earth - is a DeathWorld! Harsh environment and constant military or otherwise conflict build us as species and our character. For whatever the galaxy is going to throw at us. Not saying war is good, but struggle brings adaptation and science research. As long as we don't Self-Destruct ^^

Thankfully there are 80 Billion star systems to go for

Good story, btw. Looking forward to more works from this author.

I'm not 100% sure how I feel about this story being classified as HFY.

The galaxy is HUUUUUGE

I've done this in Stellaris. Boxed in my friend and made him basically my military slave.

I had to double check the channel as I just played a video from another channel with the exact same name.

[@scifistories1977]

Yeap, that's humanity right there

[@davidvanhorn3340]

It's a simple calculus. The universe is finite, its resources finite. If life remains unchecked, it will cease to exist. It requires correction.

[@norneaernourn8240]

Never underestimate the innate human desire for the game and coin.

[@eugeneblue299]

Neat.

[@goblinsgambits196]

Already got to the rules part, and I can easily see how this can be abused. I imagine it ends the same way I'm expecting given the title.

[@writecraft7049]

You know if this was really done humanity would be seen as the enemy of the galaxy. Or threat to the peace that was establish.

[@SadeXo1]

@SciFi Stories Hey great work.I always enjoy your videos and work with AI engines. a little suggestion: maybe when editing a moving image AI, freeze it on the still image (basically undo/reverse the motion/video). I think this will create a better flow and then there will be no need to go back(jump) to the beginning of the movement

[@pauldwalker]

funny.

Oh great, land sharks in space. Freeza!

They have colonized about 263,000 times as many solar systems as our own galaxy has 😭

[@GalliadII]

milky way has between 100 to 400 billion stars according to wikipedia. so, the galaxy is huge.

[@kevmag874]

Our Galaxy likely has 10s of billions of solar systems, but we have only been able to confirm exoplanets around 3900 stars in our Galaxy out of the 100 billions stars
