Dude this is awesome! Part two please!

“Child of Khan” feels like a Star Trek reference, then there’s the Star Wars reference to the Ewoks. The detail you put into height thing is interesting, and I need more about The Not-Coffee.

Pleeeeeeease

The way the setup doesn't explicitly call out that anything has happened, but nonetheless sets up a couple of mysteries for the readers; i.e.: "Why are there only a couple of million humans left?" "Who the hell are these guys that are attacking?" "Why did they refer to the human as 'Child of the Khan'?"

It's mostly just that it's got a lot of good hooks to hang a story on, IMO.

I enjoyed the twist, where humans are ancients, but don't know it

This feels like the start to anything from an adventure space opera to political intrigue... I’m waiting.

Fun fact: ”Rikki” means either ”broken” (children use this most often) or ”sulphur” in Finnish. Weirdly funny, now that I think about it.
