@@molag-ballordofdomination2065 That is the pure rationale. But when it boils down to the human individuals, it's still not an easy decision to sacrificy your life. Not just because of yourself, but because of the people you know you will left behind.

My personal opinion is you'll see it more often in blue collar areas of the first world and poorer regions in the rest of the world. Less press so more invisible, but more necessary for communities to survive.
Humans are as varied as the species in these stories. Not every human is selfless and willing to sacrifice themselves to protect others but some are. We see it every day, when the media actually bothers to cover it of course.
Typos aside, very good story. I do enjoy that the human's in this weren't weren't all powerful, but instead have a switch that makes complete sense to our species' past and instincts.
Plus, how are we going to live with ourselves if we don't do something. I would guarantee every member of the crew was thinking about their kids and of them being in this situation. A whole sentient species wiped out by psychos if we don't act. Death is preferable to living with that. At that point all you can do is fire the engines up and turn to your crew and say, "Helm, Interception course.."

Our ship is a rather small mining ship without any real weaponry. Out crew is only a handful of adults. Your ship carries thousands, mostly children. You have no actual weapon. We just can't allow the slaughter of innocent children, NO MATHER the cost to us. May you find peace and prosperity.

There is a reason most Captains REALLY like some weapons on board. It’s a shame most foreign ports do not allow ships to have defensive weapons. Even if secured in locked cabinets, w/ a port padlock in addition to ship lock. A semi auto 308 might cause small boats from trying to board. But Ma Deuce would really cause consideration
Ty again agro glad you’re still here man and to the algorithm indifferent in its existence we the legion of space squirrels won’t stand for your bullying leave our agro alone you meanie
It sounds as if even though the Taurians are not people with a martial mindset, they are relatively technologically advanced, at least compared to humans. A fitting way to return the favor that cost the humans their lives while giving their species a chance at having a life would be to share whatever technology they may have with the humans. After all the humans are friendly towards them, and will have angered the Benedrayans. Who may try to take their frustrations out on the humans. However the humans are a people with a martial mindset and with any advancements they may get would be more able to show any Benedayans what Hapheestus was best known for. He forged the weapons of the Gods.
you sir are by far my favorite storyteller. i'm glad you are doing well, healing up nicely from your ordeal... and glad to see you hard at work again. this story had me shedding tears.. both happy and sad.. thank you for sharing. peace.
Usually the Oinion Ninjas get me, but, this one more effecting me like a full moon.....Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I think the Benedrayans need to be properly educated on the Geneva Checklist. You know, like through personal experience...on the receiving end.
Here is a like and comment for the awesome story full of noble emotion, for entertaining me, to help your channel grow, and get you the recognition you deserve.
My friend. Thank you for all you do. I have been working my way through some memory issues over the last few years and have found reading with audio to be very helpful. As I looked for content creators who provide both visual and audio narration I stumbled across one from you. A person reincarnated as a dungeon I believe it was. I was hooked being half nerd and half science geek I found it both engaging and entertaining. I think I have watched most of not all of your content and look forward to the next. Again thank you for all your work. CCW
humanity may willingly shed its own blood, but normally only to water the fields for a new society to flourish. ill gladly give my own life to protect the innocent, no matter what race they are, if theyre not actively at war with us
Onion ninjas aside, the Benedrayans attacked human civilians near the end of that story. That tells me they need the "Geneva checklist" treatment.
Agreed. To quote Blade, "Some stupid motherfuckers just gotta try and ice skate uphill."
I mean, they've already started their own checklist, it is stated that galactic law has very strict rules on surrender and civilian vessels. They aimed for burying their war crimes with genocide
Only western nations follow such bs in reality.
A story with the Humans NOT being a unstopable juggernaut, but still heroes. Perfect.
"Mom, what's that mean?" It means "Who Wants to go to Valhalla today?"
We're not idiotic and reckless my dear xenos, we're crazy. And we don't like bullies. Wanna play tag?
“The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.”
Or the one.❤
*hails the 'drayans while priming the reactor to blow: "I just wanna talk"
I heard they had kids on board?
COWABUNGA it is then.
The proverbial "Fuck it" time.
And the Benedrayans had better leave it at that. Or we'll break out the Geneva Checklist on the psycho bastards.
That large of a percentage being children, was a forgone conclusion what decision the SoH crew would make.
Not just kids, the last of their species, humans won't go extinct from losing one ship, they will

That was a good one. The human crew would have still done it, but the 16000 children on the ship made it 16000 times easier. Begone onion ninjas!
Fusion Drive Overload - it is not a bug, it's a feature!
If only more humans actually lived up to that ideal.
maybe, maybe not.
More do than you would realise in ways big and small. It just doesn't make the news because blood and pain sell better

No greater love than to give ones life for a Friend
Or a stranger, in this case.
If some men and women can hate on sight, others of us can love on sight, and we do love our friends, irregardless of what they may look like.
@@nightrunnerxm393 Strangers are friend we have not met, yet. Unless they shoot civilians.
I think in this case "It were better a millstone be tied around their neck"
@@michaelyoung7261Particularly if there are children involved.
