Re: So Where's The Space Alien Invasion?
2020 has been a good year for dogs... More adoptions, more time spent with their humans.

Re: So Where's The Space Alien Invasion?
Which means that 2021 may well be a bad year for dogs. The Dogs Trust (then called the National Canine Defence League) came up with "A dog is for life, not just for Christmas" in 1978 for a reason. They even revisited the slogan for the Lockdown.

Re: So Where's The Space Alien Invasion?
"Maybe"?
Gee, aren't you the optimist.
Let me posit a more terrifying scenario. The cats *directing* the Roombas. Beware the Roomba/Cat Alliance. They will overrun us with their adorable mechs in a day.
On the upside once it's over the cats will realise they already were our bosses and life continues as normal.Last edited by snowblizz; 2020-08-17 at 05:14 AM.

Re: So Where's The Space Alien Invasion?
I know the Hive Fleet comes and eats everyone, I just like the Genestealers as a separate thing. It actually gives a legit alternative (which is why it is of course vorboten.) Be an individual who might succumb to any number of things or become part of a hive mind that consumes your identity?
Edit: I also have a fascination for Hiveminds, especially if it leaves individual personalities. It's either completely utopian or dystopian, never portrayed inbetween.

Re: So Where's The Space Alien Invasion?
Humans as the ideal space mercenaries -- I recall something like that in the book Killbird by Zach Hughes. But I suspect that idea is not unique to that one author.

Hate me if you want. But that's your issue to fix, not mine.

Re: So Where's The Space Alien Invasion?
There's truth to that.
I had to deal with all of that on sorta-kinda a professional level. When growing up, my country still had mandatory conscription, so I was trained as a field medic. I had the misfortune that after decades of peace, my country entered into a war, providing logistics and medical service to their allies, so it was off to the front. After my tour of duty, besides a regular civilian job in advertisement/IT, I volunteered for technical rescue service, which is basically the support unit for more specialized services like fire fighters and such. Beyond that, I got my hunting license, a thing that is quite hard in my country because you need to be half an animal doctor in the first place....
Itīs a case of "you have to have witnessed it to believe it". In a sense, humans are anything but fragile. The level of damage and hurt a human body can sustain and still be alive ist simply just astonishing. Couple that with a brain that is capable of at least trying to solve the drawbacks of permanent injury.

Re: So Where's The Space Alien Invasion?
Forget the Aliens; I'm surprised the earth's core is still magnetised with a year like this ongoing.
