    So a fleet of spacecraft, hundreds of years old with technology that was unrivaled even hundreds of years after it was created. Yet the council felt like it could exert control over the species that controlled that technology? Also - the humans didn’t advance their own technology in the hundreds of years since building these vessels?

    • @steyraug96
      @steyraug96 5 месяцев назад +8

      I was thinking similar. The logical change is, the "Old" Terran Empire (whatever they called it here) became the friendly Federation, but without the Starfleet BS of making a fleet of merchant vessels with a few guns. In Starfleet terms, they Started with the Defiant, and then built the Enterprise, and from trade basis, stopped the War Machine approach. Seems no point to it. But the fear that that insignia brought, it would be more a marauding fleet, then a long period of peace and trade and exploration, with technologies integrated into the old battle frames. Which is illogical. If you're winning the wars, you don't stop fighting, you know? There would have to be a long backstory there of how the politics changed, maybe Starship Troopers themes regarding citizenship, and too many people coming back horribly injured. Popular war gives way to popular trade and peaceful exploration. (This is what happened in Star Trek, btw, not like it's an amazing spin on anything.)

      Once youve got invisible missiles, invisible ships, and lasers that can melt through other hulls, you're not going to advance much.
      As for the terran federation becoming peaceful through diplomacy, well, thats Democracy for you. Socialism does not create new wealth and technology, it only redistributes it around.. They built the fleet during a period of Capitolism, under a representative republic.
      The difference between the republic, the empire, and the rebrllion... the rebels are socialists, and also terrorists. Same thing really. The Empire are Communists. pretty obvious. And the Republic was the Glory days of the Galaxy, All Capitolism.

    • @tesuniekataren46
      @tesuniekataren46 4 месяца назад +3

      This story has chunks missing everywhere. One moment, the council leader is relaxing in his own private room, surrounded by decadence and luxury, the next he is standing on a bridge with other people with no transition or traveling time in between.
      One moment, the humans have a cloak that can't be pierced, and the next they forget in their toughest fight that they can do that, and then they can cloak "nearly invisible" in the final scene.
      The council leader makes a declaration of "It doesn't matter, kill me human!", the human doesn't. The core of the weapon is unstable, so he is going to stay behind to "do something". Everyone has time to say goodbye to him while "fly you fools" out of there, all while the council leader is still alive, but ceases to exist? Then the core explodes and the human commander has done... nothing. He just stands there and dies to "contain the blast" having done nothing to do so. What? Will his grim determination and righteousness just delay this blast from expanding?
      A better ending would have been "Council leader, we now need to work together. This core is about to go off and kill everything in this system (which isn't Earth, it's a base in the alien system). Let us save your people (as it seemed like the system had inhabitants)." Could have had some banter, a bit of a small redemption (though by survival for others of his kind) for the "evil council leader", maybe even still a last stand to "buy as much time to evacuate"... then boom.
      This really does feel like a story that was not cohesively written, missing gaps, and some parts make completely no sense. The basis of the story isn't bad. A little more of a pitched battle in the opening might have been more lively and fitting to the rest of the story, and some cleaning up and adding of transition scenes, a bit of a scale of time. Have it been a few days/weeks between the initial opening, freeing a race and arming them, pushing on the core council. Then maybe months of bitter off screen fighting to wear down both sides and time to develop the super weapon before the ending...
      (Though, if humans had such advanced tech, why had we not used it before hand? We humans tend to run the gambit of motivations, and we either would have wanted a defense force to protect humanity, a force to expand with openly, or be possibly even fighting to free these known slaves to the council.)

      I was considering it was likely AI generated stories. At least this one didn't use "Determination" as an off word to fill in every other word for word count. (And here I use "Word" a lot... bah.) The lack of transition scenes and suddenly forgetting "this person is sitting in a room all alone. No wait. Now they are on a command bridge with no explanation." where some tiny clues for me.
      I still will leave comments in the (possibly vain) hope it's a real person who wrote this, happens to see the comment and such.

      @howardhoman8233 5 месяцев назад

      Since the majority of the story was in only the 2 leaders' first person view points the exact nature of the death and what effect his steps had is left to the listener.
      It may not suit a lot of people, but it stayed true. A man dying does not often get the luxury to see what results his actions have. Perspective matters when you are an author.
      This is not to say, however, that an epilogue would not have hurt 😅. (Btw... 88 !)

    • @tesuniekataren46
      @tesuniekataren46 4 месяца назад

      @@howardhoman8233 How about, "frantically, he worked at the controls. His fingers flying over the command interface stabilizing the core. However, every time he shored up one containment field, another failed faster than he could work. Then, with one final look at the unstable core, his eyes was met with a flash of hot light, thus was his end." Even a "He walked away from the control interface, having done everything he could to delay the blast. Then... (insert ending as written)."
      Being up to the reader to decide would have been an ending written more like "Hawkens (one of the few names I can recall from the story) looked from the damaged bridge of the ship, getting ready to start the FTL drives to escape. The enemy base was now far in the distance, but a speck amongst the blackness of the void. Then, a pin point of light enveloped the base followed by a blurring of space as the ship enters into FTL. The crew, having just escaped. Everyone gives a final salute to their commander who had valiantly given his own life to by them the time to escape." This leads us to wonder what the commander did to buy the time.
      The only other way would be from the perspective of the council leader (who did not get shot or killed that I heard), "The council leader rose from the floor, shakily. He observed the back of his adversary, hunched over the control interface, working away tirelessly at the panels. Then, hot white oblivion washed over his reality."
      No mater what, you need to say something about what is being done to contain the explosion, even for a few short moments. Unless these people had super powers, and then maybe staring at the core "might" actually be doing something. It's poor writing to just have the guy not being mentioned of doing anything when the end hit. It makes it seem like the commander just died for no reason other than "I want to die, just let me". Makes for a poor choice to end it at.

  • @saramarrspellmaker9592

    This story broke the cardinal rule of plot by placing a gun on the table and not using it.
    It starts out killing a human child (the gun) and when the humans respond with force, not one word from the humans saying, “You should have never killed one of our offspring. ”
    No, instead for some reason, the dead child was cast to the side and replaced with the need for the human race to be recognized by the galactic council.
    All in all, the arrival of the humans' should have been to deal with the killing of one of their children, first and foremost. Only after their successful revenge would they have demanded to be recognized by the galactic council.

Do you know researchers have discovered that Hitler only became a political activist after he was rejected by a Academy of Fine Arts! Twice! They said his talent was unsatisfactory! And the rest is history!
    There have been many wars started over less than the execution of a child! Going all the way back to Troy's war with Greece! If the myths are close to true was over a stolen wife!
    Generally there are underlying issues and is just looking for the match! Just as in this story. I can see this happening!

      You misunderstood the story. The child’s death was not the cause, but the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back. It shows the depravity of the council and the evil they represent. It allows us, the listeners, to be aware of all the wrongs that were committed without a list. It shows the cause was righteous, a battle against an evil foe. A battle for justice. A cause worthy of the cost, the sacrifice, the pain.
