>>52140204>Humans are insane. You see, Humans have this concept called“Vengeance”. Once, a Vuux warship blew away one of their early colony
ships. Fifty Terran geo-helio-cycles later, without a word, they glassed the
entirety of the Vuux homeworld and called it even. Not one senator in the
Union even dared bring it up with their ambassador. They have no com-
punction to follow the Concord of Equal Force!
>The Human muscle-to-mass ratio is incomprehensible. Their worldmust have been at least half-again as large as ours. Their biology defies
reason, they breathe oxygen and yet can swim in liquids without trouble.
They can kill with their manipulator extremities, and more. One prisoner
slammed his brain case into a guard, and then beat them to death with his
bare hands.
>Of all the violence-capable sophont clades, Humans are the only oneswho strap themselves into armored shells and drop out of the atmosphere
onto enemy positions. And that’s only after they soften up any ground re-
sistance with orbital bombardment. We are certain that they have secretly
developed mind-upload technology (and thus a kind of technical immortal-
ity). The other possibility, that they are willing to throw themselves into
the path of anti-starship weapons without hesitation and risk their con-
sciousnesses, is unthinkable.
We're too powerful
