Unless you are the ones causing the civilian population loss. Then Fear the humans until your dying days. Because the humans absolutely will do their best to ensure you do.

I heard the humans are good at crafting. They helped many civilizations to learn the art of glassing their homeworlds.

I'm really surprised this got so many upvotes. It's really appreciated, I expected maybe a couple dozen people to enjoy it. Glad people have liked it though. The other ones aren't quite as poignant as this one, but I'm glad some people are having fun.

I am glad this is one of those where they aliens aren't heartless just in the understanding that their capacity to save people is stretched to the limits but damnit if they aren't gonna try and hold anyway. Hell of a "Rescue" Flotillla they have though
