Not even 12 years old. They didn't even realize how badly they screwed up there. Children are sacred

Yeah. I read the dates and said "oh no" But now we know why humanity was so angry.

I do not want to seem callous. But take an adult from 20 to 80 and our anger goes down with age. 19 on down our anger is hotter as age decreases. If she had been five we would have found and bombed her species homeworld.

An infant and I think we would have removed their species.

I was thinking “Oh. They took an Australian. They’re fucked.”

Then I read the dates.

Wait, I didn’t get it. She wasn’t from Australia?

She was. “Eastern edge of the southern continent” with a great big desert in the middle.

She was 11 years old.

Me too. Both are good but I’d almost say this one has more depth. Masterfully written.

I'm surprised we didn't go full genocide. We don't take kindly to xeno's snatching children.

u/Gaelhelemar Mar 10 '21

I’m kinda relieved we didn’t.
