[@brmark7281]

Well, they are all dead, so no story LOL

[@carlchapman4053]

The last sentence destroys the entire story... The aliens must survive to pass on this message because the dead cannot learn!

[@Shadowlurkering]

They already gave them the message, the fact they brought in the new seven shows the message was ignored.

[@JoyboyPs_Reviews]

He said "they will all be dead in 10 minuets". With their convocation being recorded he could kill everything on the ship and leave the ship intact. When rescue comes, they would know what happened and why.

[@jddunebuggy]

What if they can though? Cyber-necromancy?

[@residentmagnum]

not if it was recorded by the human and sent back to the alien home world. You thought you could catch the Devil, but didn't think maybe. he chose to have a chat before FAFO

Nice short story! Im 72 now. I started reading Scifi in the early 1960s. My favorite ones were the really short stories. Humans, you never know what that species is going to do next!

So once again: "Don't kill the mesenger"!

[@listen2meokidoki264]

Not even all cultures on Earth adopt the Principle "Don't kill the Messenger". One of the reasons I am loyal to my Western civilisation. It allows me to exercise a reasonable approach to problem solving. So it's a pity the attempt to establish a "Brotherhood of man" has been systematically demolished by mostly eastern civilisations.

[@heavyfoot8679]

Bro this story is amazing its so humbling but I'd like to hear more of this

[@douglasmcneil8413]

If they're going to be dead in 10 minutes and their communications are down what was the point of the elaborate way of giving the "message". They can't share the message. They don't have time to utilize anything he tells them. The net result is they're dead and none of their people are going to know why. No actual "message" is being sent other than the human making them squirm for the next 10 minutes.

[@seanthiar]

They already got the message when the humans arrived in that Galaxy, but forgot it or choose to ignore it because of greed.

[@Necrobadger]

You're forgetting the entire exchange is being recorded. I doubt he left without a copy of said recording.

[@JoyboyPs_Reviews]

He said "they will all be dead in 10 minuets". With their convocation being recorded he could kill everything on the ship and leave the ship intact. When rescue comes, they would know what happened and why.

[@Mereologist]

This is not a particularly well-written story. I get what the author was going for, but he misses the mark.

[@cajun70122]

@@JoyboyPs_Reviews - the human told them "You will all be dead in ten minutes." "You" not "They".

[@gemmel3197]

That ended abruptly with no real reason for his decision to kill them. Why did he bother to talk to them at all?

[@jonnajohnsons2684]

to give them a choice

[@WhiteWolf65]

Perhaps he was the "carrier" of whatever was to kill the aliens. He just needed to give it time to circulate through the ship. And for the recorders to store the Four Rules, for the ones that came after them. Presumably the conversation would be transmitted to their home before they died, so that no more of their kind would be killed by the "deadly humans".

[@cajun70122]

[@Mountain8ear]

What's the point in delivering a message if you're just going to kill everybody you told? This makes no sense.

[@robertpopa2628]

What, the villian doesn't get to monologue? I think he's telling them so that they know why they're going to die, maybe give them a chance to apologize. Or just to assuage his own conscience.

''WE WOULD BE THE ENEMY''. WOW! MIND BLOWING!!🤯

[@WhiteWolf65]

Oddly, thats what it would take for the current human race to put aside its petty terrestrial arguments, and try to defend itself from any "aliens". The Legacy of the Aldenata series is an example of this... start with "Gust Front"

[@ApproximatelyCee]

This is a disheartening and heartbreaking story. But it certainly gets me thinking about how our world has developed during our time & during our recorded history. 😮 I checked out your Amazon link. Is this a good way to avoid the negative onslaught of social media? It’s interesting how you have brought your storytelling ability along. It’s very good that you are sharing your stories with the community now. I didn’t discover until fairly late in life that I can make music. I come up with several new songs a day. I don’t know where they come from, but it’s very fulfilling to go around singing my own songs all day long. I guess creativity continues for a lifetime & we can get some real surprises.

[@sdragut]

good story idea but stupid ending. who's stupid enough to give a message to someone who will die in 10 minutes, with no communications & can't even pass on the message?

[@IamJustJ.]

It's not stupid, you missed the key detail at the beginning of the story: Xtlda was recording the interrogation and spoke into the recorder. The human only needed to bring in a foreign microorganism (or possibly even radiation) known to kill the aliens in question which would leave the recording of the situation intact. Critical thinking is required to discern the scenario and its implications.

[@RogerGolden2016]

Every villain in every fictional adventure ever, from batman to Imajica to the realms of Xanth. The only tool more common is "And then he woke up."

[@sdragut]

@@RogerGolden2016you would think that if you write a story you have the common sense not to kill the messenger before he delivers the message

[@RogerGolden2016]

@@sdragut Watch the story again and pay attention to how humanity arrived at their rules. It's always the same way. It's a very intellectual yet subtle message.

[@RogerGolden2016]

I think people are declaring a bad ending without considering the story of how the laws came to be. It is always the same thing as the ending, only with different details. I thought it was a literary cheat at first, but I don't believe it was because of how well the end complements the narrative. You have to look at the narrative of the laws as being in the same story as the ending instead of thinking of them as separate events. That is the 4th law: Humanity destroys what it comes in contact with. Or maybe I'm wrong in a more imaginative sort of way.
