Also love the idea of "techno-paladins". Tickles my science fantasy bone. Or perhaps humans were aware of the tradition of making "icons" and arranged a series of events to have the icon they knew their killers would create become the new progenitor of humanity. Makes for an intriguing plotline I think.

The Buggers had learned the wrong lessons from the previous battles. Up to now, Ender's strategy had always been to ensure the survival of as many human ships as possible. He had always left himself a line of retreat. The Buggers, with their huge numerical advantage, were finally in a position to guarantee that the human forces would not get away. There was no way, at the beginning of this battle, to predict that the Buggers would make such a mistake. Yet throughout history, great victories had come as much because of the losing army's errors as because of the winner's brilliance in battle. The Buggers have finally, finally learned that we humans value each and every individual human life. We don't throw our forces away because every soldier is the queen of a one-member hive. But they've learned this lesson just in time for it to be hopelessly wrong -- for we humans *do*, when the cause is sufficient, spend our own lives. We throw ourselves onto the grenade to save our buddies in the foxhole. We rise out of the trenches and charge the entrenched enemy and die like maggots under a blowtorch. We strap bombs on our bodies and blow ourselves up in the midst of our enemies. We are, when the cause is sufficient, insane. They don't believe we'll use Dr. Device because the only way to use it is to destroy our own ships in the process. From the moment Ender started giving orders, it was obvious to everyone that this was a suicide run. These ships were not made to enter an atmosphere. And yet to get close enough to the planet to set off Dr. Device, they had to do exactly that. Get down into the gravity well and launch the weapon just before the ship burns up. And if it works, if the planet is torn apart by whatever force it is in that terrible weapon, the chain reaction will reach out into space and take out any ships that might happen to survive. Win or lose, there'd be no human survivors from this battle.

I think I read this story once. It's really good. The end, where the human icon is placed to live, is an exact description of the Garden is Eden, too, implying that humanity recovered on Earth - possibly to a dead galaxy. I believe this could mean that galactic civilizations ultimately collapsed, since nobody stopped them from re-arising.

As the story went, I felt content, by the empirical evidence provided, it seems we're the perfect species. And that even on the back foot, we wiped out so much makes me happy that humanity has not gone into the night with a whimper, but a roar (or song as it were) and my head canon is that the last Human figured out cloning again and basically finished what her progenitors started (call me a human nationalist, but I love it when we dick-slap the galaxy and show dominance). But anyways... As always, a stellar reading, Cloak. Love your stuff, keep doing what you're doing.

Their mistake was making a new human. Humans, by our very nature, will do one of two things, A) adapt to the environment or other hindering status; or B) Make it adapt to us; there is no other way. So yes the child probably figured out how to clone/revive humans causing another war, but this time the same trick won't work twice, we will be back, and we will win.

Take that DNA and come back again to show them what they have destroyed.. and then show them who was Right. Hope Springs Eternal, but Hope sometimes has a Hand in it's goals.

Out there, in the cold, empty space between galaxies there lies a forgotten armada. Once proud vessels carry in their holds the last vestiges of Man. Skeleton crews cling desperately to failing quantum entanglement engines and dying fusion cores. They wait, living long decades in shifts. As Humanity passes from galactic conscience so to, do they pass along the edges of the galaxy until the day comes. After countless centuries a call will echo through the void. Dark space will awaken, a massive fleet will assemble. Its crew and cargo will stir and awaken. They will come. A small planet at the edge of civilized space will see them first. A grand fleet of ghost ships, ships that ceased to exist eons ago, will tear out of FTL into the orbit of a poorly defended garden world. Great leviathans of steel and fire will descend upon it, burning the skies with wrath and fury. Vast behemoths will fall to the ground and, like some Hell beast begin disgorging adamantine clad demons who scream for vengeance. These genetically engineered super soldiers will take back what rightfully belongs to them and in doing so reignite the nightmares of the galaxy. Humankind has returned.

Nah. History disagrees. In WW2, most German citizens while definitely brainwashed to an extent were not trying to genocide people, were trying to survive a war and the nazi regime. While there were attempts to usurp Hitler, there was no mass German population trying to fight other Germans. Again in American Civil War, Most of the south was too poor to own slaves. Once the war broke out was mostly fighting for whichever side your home was on. Even accounts of soldiers shouting at each other across a river at night. Union soldier: "Why are you fighting" Confederate: "Because you are here"

It's not part of any existing lore. It's something called "Humanity Fuck Yeah!" Which are varying stories that are all based on the idea of humanity being exceptional in a sci-fi setting, rather than the most bog-standard thing in existence.
