Whoo! and with a logically consistent reason for Terra to become a Tyrannical Junta. But I think its more than that. Many of the children have become belligerent and evil during Humanity's absence. Heavy handed and uncaring of the needs and wants of their people and others. I think Humanity is going to show them the error of their ways both in action and in spirit.
Hey there, happy Monday! I hope you had an excellent break and are taking good care of yourself. You deserve it just as much as your family does, and that can be hard to remember sometimes.
Welcome Back, Sir Wordsmith!
Here's hoping the vacation allowed a "natural" reset of your stress levels.
Now you just need a GOOD set of VA Doctors and to stay away from the Physical ~~Terrorists~~...err...Therapists.

Three times, did Humanity reach out from our cradle, telling the galaxy that we would like to be friends. Once, to a dead world, in the midst of being paved over. The rejection was brutal. Once, to the Mantid, who glassed TerraSol. And once, shouted as long and as loud as any angry primate could shout. Nine thousand years, did we spend sending the message this time. Our reward was near-extinction.
Thrice warned, Humanity's duty is done. This galaxy will be our friend, or it will be our Enemy.
And the Enemy only exists to be destroyed.
-Solarian Iron Dominion founding documents
I can think of two possibilities:
1) Whichever unpopulated world sent back the Friend Plague, or
2) the desert planet with high-nitrogen low-oxygen atmosphere that seemed dead to humans, but turned out to be a major hatching planet for the Treana'ad.
I read it as the second one.
It's described as brutal, and the Treana'ad, those sneaky bastards with their ice cream cones, did win 31.2203% of their fights against the Terrans.
I was actually referring to the friend plague and the carnivorous plants from the world that the Lankies decided needed to be reset and re-seeded. The Treana'ad came after the Mantid.
Why do I get the feeling that the solarian iron dominion has WAY more of a fighting force than the rest of the Confederacy combined.
I also think Casey's people will not like the new earthlings much. They seem very ready and able and willing to novaspark the entire milky way galaxy.
This is humanity that feels backed into a corner on round three with two knockdowns and facing iron Mike when the bell sounds (bag dropped). This is humanity that seems to have taken a page out of Dee's book. The entirety of sentient worlds now have room made in the grave for them and death is staring at them through the window asking to come in.

I’m honestly curious what the FC/nova wars version of
Guns Germs and Steel
would be with historical Fuzzing inaccuracies and everything…
“C+++ CANNONS, NANOPHAGES,
and WAR STEEL”
A History of the Terran Union…
Why change what has always worked...... In the end the only thing more trustworthy the Guns Germs and Steel is a pointed stick or if u are in a hurry a nice rock.
It's a [reference to the original Ghostbusters movie](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/there-is-no-dana-only-zuul). Ghostbuster Peter Venkman tries to reason with his girlfriend Dana, who is possessed by a demon named Zuul. She tells him "There is no Dana, only Zuul."
Ghostbusters quote. The diplomats were expecting to have a chat with Their Good Friend TerraSol and smooth things over. In their place, they found... that other guy. That other guy that comes round when things like the glassing or the Imperium of Light happen, who hung a planet cracker over Rigel because *Rigel was worried about them and that sound like treason to me.*
> We will also reclassify members according to their preferred stated status.
Telkan's government had better take notes. Dictatorships don't coexist well and Sol is *so much better at this than you are.* Sol is already crunching through everyone's history (especially the rewritten parts) and from their perspective they **just saved your dumbasses.**
> We severed diplomatic ties before we could inform the Terran Confederacy of Aligned Systems of our change of status.
Due to a shockingly localized effect of the Bag's time dilation the ink on that is only five minutes old.
It means the cute and cuddly face Terra presented to the galaxy is gone. And not coming back.
The Terrans have converted their entire populace into a warmachine, and intend to fight the entire galaxy if they have to.
Like Zola says, it's doesn't matter if the plan is insane. They can do it!
Yeah, I've only read this chapter twice, and I'm still not sure what the references are to, where the characters are, who is who, and what is going on. Other than that, I will just patiently wait until someone in the comments explains what the hell is going on
Violet is a diplomatic envoy (specifically a Speaker) from the newest freed Mantid Queen planet that escaped the Omniqueen's control back near the end of First Contact.
Walks is a Mantid diplomat from Mantid Prime.
The Terrans are basically going for a Starship Troopers level of "Only Humanity matters to us!" on the surface, while testing the diplomatic waters to see who is still ACTUALLY good enough to keep on good terms with, and who may need to be 1%-ed or at least have their teeth kicked in.
Most of this seems to be over the Afterlife Systems and so many nations wanting their heroes back, but a decent chunk is also from VERY recently being in a Total War scenario against the Lanaktallan (on our very doorstep, no less) and Atrekna, on different fronts. So recent as to be how they figured things were still, not necessarily knowing how the time dilation had been changed.
Pretty much the scenario is how much of the old CIS is willing and able to step up; have their rot identified and assuming that such rot was actually a malevolent party, kick that shit in and carve the rot out. There's bound to be a ton of "friendly fire" and gestalt memories are going to eventually hurt as the Iron Dominion carve their path through the existential threats they face heedless of whoever may have been holding the line and/or gotten in their way by accident.
hue, dont quote me on that, but i taugh that the bag closed before the archeo-revision attack, and that the bag and terra anti-time-fuckery contermesure "sheilded" the population within.
Balls to the walls time! There is only Terra, her friends, and the enemy. And the enemy only exists to be destroyed. For there is no war like Total War.
As a priority of work, glad to hear you are doing better Ralts!
If I am tracking correctly: Humanity was preparing to come out of the bag in a worst case scenario. When they in fact came out, it was much worse than the expected scenario. Their erstwhile allies let everything go to poop, baseline tech such as food systems are now extinct, to say nothing of more complex nano manufacturing, ennui everywhere, and an unwillingness to do the ugly things that are essential to survival. Little things like actually kill the silicon life forms that eat you alive along with your entire ecosystem.
Meanwhile, Earth created a literal heaven for everyone, at their own expense, and has committed to protecting the totality of everyone who has ever been a friend for eternity even at the cost of their (Earthling, by evolution or adoption) lives. During a war for their species survival, which was not going well. There was no “thank you “ but rather provide us with slaves and cannon fodder. This is so bad that even the Lankies are saying leave it alone.
And now, the older species (except, fascinatingly the Lankies) are all “WTF” when humans say “hard pass” on extinction, and we are going to retake our wolds.
I’m just a broken old soldier, but I would be strongly inclined to kill everyone under the circumstances. Anyone not an enthusiastic ally just goes away. Makes expansion easier.
You must reject the facade of the confederacy and see the truth of humanity.
*You don't mean.....*
Yes. The old legends are true, Humans are horny booggymen who will copulate with everyone and everything.
*Digital Omnimessia protect us all!*
00000000000000000000
Some say humans are more dangerous when backed into a corner. Others say they are more dangerous when protecting something they love. I argue that they are actually more dangerous when you are standing between them and whatever they are planning to copulate with.
How to solve fascism with the power of friendship:
* Step 1: realize this problem can not be solved with the power of friendship
* Step 2: harness the power of unspeakable violence
Well that explains where all the fucky parts of the gestalt chats have been coming from, it's all the ~~breeders~~ whatever the fuck is going on here fielding ideas.
Sure it can.
The Terrans have been stuck in the bag with their worst thoughts expecting it to be them against the universe. Their smiles got wider when everybody started running away to 'consult their government'. They're stuck in a corner all alone and ready to come out swinging, they were afraid and others now being afraid of them was exactly the wrong direction to go.
Friendship is what counters that. Instead of offering them a fight, you offer them a hug. You gotta try and understand their situation, talk to them, extend a hand, ask if they want assistance. Show them they don't have to be alone anymore. Sure the first impression wasn't great and they could hurt you if they wanted, but you gotta trust that they won't. They've been comrades for thousands of years. That may be the distant past to everyone else but as far as Terra is concerned that was practically yesterday. Upset their expectations and knock them off balance in a way no punch ever could.
"Oh! It's not an evil plan! I - I don't really know what to do when it isn't an evil plan!" - the 12th Doctor
That's a bold strategy. Godspeed to the suicidal motherfuckers who try that first.
I for one intend to embrace hubris and hope to become the villain's villain. That can only possibly make me a hero... right?
You don't give a hug to the old friends you instructed to watch your house while you were on extended vacation if you come back and find the place burning down with multiple steaming turds in the lawn. You slap them senseless until they pay for the damages then decide afterwards if you ever want to speak to them again. The Confederacy let the spur go to absolute ruin. Terrasol is not going to be kind about that.
Nice little lore dump here. I suspect the hidden messaging has always been there but was more benign before The Bag and geared more towards general motivation.
Welcome back, Ralts! Hope you're all good and that you and the missus enjoyed your break.
This feels like a 1950s housewife in a clean white apron, high heels and a perfect haircut starting up her chainsaw. Oh dear this will be a mess to clean up afterwards.
Well, if after 40k years, the Terran still make old race shit their figurative pant just by looking at them funny, I think the "position of strength" perk was unlocked successfully!
Honestly, I really do not understand why everyone is freaking out the way they are. Seriously, this should have been expected. Hell, I expected it. Heck I think I even mentioned in a comment once that when the bag opened, the terrans would come out ready for hell. Remember they lost contact before the end of the war, they had to assume the worse, and be ready to fight as soon as the bag poped, and at the time, they where assuming they might have to fight the entirerty of the rest of the universe. I am seriously suprised the war ships where not stacked up so high around the system that you could walk around the system just steping ship to ship. They are in a total war siduation, and are all in. Weirdly, I expect Violet to be one of the few that actualy gets it.
Violets people are the only group of mantids that freed themselves from slavery. Yes there was genetic drift, incompitance, and a whole bunch of other factors that made it posable, but they freed themselves.
I also expect that the terrans put it to a vote, and as a culture, desided that they would do what needed to be done. Thoes Lankys that are still there, at this point, thoes are terrans, do not think otherwise. I should also point out, the presence of the lawyer also shows that the rule of law is still there. It might be a 'dictatorship, facist hell' but, it is still bound by the rule of law.
Don't hate the person, hate the action...
Yea.. right...
Enough politically correct psycho-babble. Just shoot anything not aligned with Sol and call it a day.
Hate to say it, but it makes sense. In a time of war for pure survival, you don't need politicians bickering or meddling with military strategy, you need people which know what must be done and how the military works.
TerraSol is (has been) changed from being Fortress TerraSol 'a refuge for Terrans', to ... how to put there? There are no civilians in Festung TerraSol, all are part of the The Solarian Iron Dominion. Some active duty, some inactive duty, some reserve, some ... you get the point.
And have no doubt, that there still are politics involved: As has been said the USAF's main enemy is US Navy Aviation.
> Fortress TerraSol 'a refuge for Terrans'
Quite the contrary. It's not a refuge. It's a depot...OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION!
"Warm and Friendly" is now *officially* on vacation.
Welcome to "Rip 'n Tear".
Hate to say it but in these types of situations when your usefulness runs out the blackshirts tend to splatter your gray matter across the pavement.
Also fascists have a long-standing tradition of stepping on their own dicks, since appearance and dogma constantly matter much more than being a functional organ of any government structure.
What I'm trying to say is that these people would shamelessly execute Tiktak for looking the wrong way first before crossing the street. This is like if a society was built from the ground up by *Generalissimo Altair*.
The fact that the slimy REMF claiming to represent all of them even flirts with the label is what most would call "the canary in the coal mine being strangled to death by someone's bare hands".
Just look at the political polarization of the U.S. right now LoL. One mans definition of "fascist hellscape" is another mans "capitalist utopia". Definitions hold no permanence in a society. Just look at how many people see the govt of starship troopers as some jackboot fascist's wet dream. When you actually read the book you see that military service was discouraged.
The implications of fascism are that of coerced a merger of corporation and state under a single entity with private enterprise and ownership of property still being allowed. How this is carried out and maintained are not part of the actual equation, and not yet fully stated here.
Yes, I suspect the Ring Breakers will be brothers of convenience against the existential threats, then they go back their separate ways once both affirm to each other that they have no desire to fight... or maybe the Ring Breakers are the reset button both need to go back to peace under a MAD-like situation, rest of the galaxy be damned.
Don't forget to add a picture of your bingo card now that chapter 75 is here!
[Nova Wars Bingo](https://www.reddit.com/r/OrderoftheBlackNext/s/stXNKomiUc)
Ugh... Military being in charge of anything is a horrible idea. I know it looked neat in Starship Troopers, but any enlisted man can tell you, the military doesn't know its ass from a hole in the ground as far as running shit goes. There's a reason martial law is temporary. It's because an actual government set up to run something is far better at the job than the military. The military has different priorities than civilian governments. The first thing to go is individual liberties under a military government, this is usually in the form of a lackluster tribunal for criminal charges, and very little legal defense for the defendant. Also, punishments tend to be far more severe. The idea of innocent until proven guilty goes out the window when a ship's captain is the judge and jury. And you better damned well learn the UCMJ, because that's what the military will be judging you against.
Also, rationing of resources so the military machine can keep its cogs oiled while civilians bear the brunt of it. If they wanted to be well fed, why didn't they enlist, after all. Soldiers need more food so they can operate on the field of battle. All civilians do is screw the caps onto the missiles, they don't need all 2000 daily calories to do that. And let's not forget that women become nothing more than walking wombs for the war effort. Even though cloning is a thing, and it would be easier to just clone millions of troops. Don't have that whole 18 years of growth to deal with that way.
Basically, for every officer that cares and does what's best for the civilian population, there's five that say "Fuck 'em, if they wanted rights they should have enlisted." Not everyone is built for military service. And not everyone should go military. Civilians are there to provide something every enlisted person craves at some point. Home. Can't go home if everywhere is the military.
My favorite story about Starship Troopers was that apparently the more diehard fans of Starship Troopers would constantly argue with the diehard fans of The Forever War since one serie is pro-army and the other is anti-army and both authors pretty much admitted that they were actually on very good terms with one another and they really didn't give a fuck about the arguments of their fans.
The proverbial cat (or in this case, lemurs) is out of the bag. However, instead of a cuddly friends shape TDH as everyone has expected, it's turned out to be an Earthling wielding a turbo dictatorship with added fascism for extra spiciness...
...
..
.
Yep, that's the Earthling I knowns alright.
Humanity went full rorschach, "None of you seem to understand. I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with *ME*!". I wonder if they will bring back the man amp troops with the combat reflex drug implants. I mean it seems only fitting.
Mantid diplomats - sshhhhhh........be still and listen. Do you hear them?
The newbz of the Confederacy - hear what?
Mantid diplomats - the drums in the deep, it will only get louder. Soon it will be drowned out from clanging of hammers from the hate anvils of mercury and Venus. The war forges Of Mars are burning, crying for blood to quench the warsteel. (mantid seer trance state) (Whispers) War....war and blood, darkness and ash, utter destruction. We must rise to meet them, in lock step shoulder to shoulder lest we be drowned by the tide............
So which way to the rump state civil war where everyone fights to the death over the founding principles its originators shunned?
Mantids probably getting Combine flashbacks right about now.
Oh yeah. Skipped my mind the first time through.
Another "magic number" chapter.! Three times twenty five is seventy five.
Or maybe this one is a little too serious for such foolery. Yeah, that's the ticket.
Are the told terran governments gone? the hamburger kingdom, etc - is their power gone?
Doesn’t that break some kind of temporal warfare / age of paranoia rule?
We had a chapter that took place in the Hamburger Kingdom earlier. The nation states never went away. It even says right here in this chapter that they're individually contributing to the defense of Earth.
Think more of a UN, with real power. Like the EU. Like the Soviet Union. Still individual states, but also a military dictatorship. Earth has been preparing/having a 50 year Cold War with the entire universe, only the universe didn't know it. They have planned for anything, and will bring everything to bare against their enemies.
Are you with us, because we are united?
Today is turning out to be a wonderful day. Logged into work, sat at desk. Did start-up procedures.... Opened my reddit tab... WOO! HOO! Ralts post!! Now, as long as work doesn't interfere with my work day, we are good. :-)
God I am just here for everything Lank is doing, I hope they continue being the cool uncle. Arguably the closest race to the Terrans at this point considering how many are living on Earth and how easily the gestalt seems to be rolling with the punches.
I mean, that’s a pretty fair assessment by the Terrans. They LOOK weak to these “old” civilizations who’ve been around for 40,000 years, but Terrans aren’t gonna stay that way. Like the new guy in prison who needs to knock out the baddest guy on the yard if he’s gonna to be #1.
Welcome back Ralts.
Of all the representatives turning tail and fleeing… i think Rigel is the only one to truly hurt.
Never has Humanity turned our hand against the Dommy Mommies. Never have we threatened the Ducklings.
Yes we had changed. But et tu Rigel? We saved you and asked nothing in return. We come to you, honest and open. We show you who we are now. We asked for understanding, and you were the second to flee from our presence.
Why are you scared of us Rigel?
-unknown terran.
>A martial law tyranny some might call fascist
Not to be a bit of a downer here but people tend to call things fascist when there's a fascism happening in front of them.
> "There is only Zuul."
oo, Smash and Grab Time!
Who is the Gatekeeper?
Who is the Keymaster?
"Are you a God?" ... "Nope, A Human with an *Attitude*."
***GETSOME!***
I wonder just how much this self-elected representative of the solarian "we are a reactionary military dictatorship again, because someone tried to bomb us again, hope you are ok with that or die" actually represents the solar system considering with things like the war with "red mars" show that cluster of planets is more than capable of fucking itself up when fundamental disagreements about how much someone should "bend over and take it because I'm in charge now" arise.
This confirms my theory that Terran lawyers are either androids or uplifted sharks - the former of which are almost universally omnicidal, the latter apex predators.
So did the characters ever figure out who sent those androids against Crash Rider and the Spy Lanky?
Yeah, they sent a ring breaker after them and got five headed home. Lady K went and took over their computer systems at the same time. They called themselves the council of eternity and they were basically a bunch of old oil barons in jars trying to control things to their own profit.
Ralts, I firmly believe you are predicting the future
https://scitechdaily.com/faster-than-the-speed-of-light-information-transfer-through-spooky-action-at-a-distance-at-the-large-hadron-collider/
So now that TerraSol is out of the bag and under an indefinite state of martial law and the Gestalt channels are working I have to ask, what is happening with the old Dinochrome Brigade units that went into dormancy and the other autonomous Terran forces (Antaeus and BOLO equivalents, the various Born Whole combat forces, any surviving dormant C&C facilities, etc.) that dropped out of Confed's collective memory after the 2PW? Since they should all now be actively in contact with TerraSol and have working SUDS links to print out new commanders. And all of these are spread all over the Old Confederacy and The Long Dark, these seem like something that the Dominion would immediately jump on now that diplomatic talks have broken down.
In all seriousness, I ask you - if humanity as a whole was stuck at the edge of extinction, with limited resources... who would *you* appoint to get us out?
I would cack myself if the terrans as currently displayed are putting this up as a front, as a test to make sure that their allies haven't been suborned, and that *Reluctant Dictator pro temp* Tik-Tak is in charge.

They may not have the best pattern recognition, but they do have long memories. For them, it's only been 20-40 generations since the war. And one of their religious icons is a human. They learned a lesson and learned it well.
Don't try to force humans to do ANYTHING.
They'll kill you for the audacity.
It's probably a damn good thing that Humanity has refused access to the Afterlife system for the other species.
Can you imagine how utterly pissed Vux and Dambree would be at the state of their peoples now if they were brought back?
Guess whose back.
Ralts is back, tell a friend...
Hope you had a wonderfully relaxing break!

I think daddy is waving around a meat cleaver
Heeeeeeeeere's Johnny!!!

Welcome back, you were missed
Back again
That the knife is going into? Not TerraSol's.
Whoo! and with a logically consistent reason for Terra to become a Tyrannical Junta. But I think its more than that. Many of the children have become belligerent and evil during Humanity's absence.

What's the dead world being paved over?
I can think of two possibilities: 1) Whichever unpopulated world sent back the Friend Plague, or 2) the desert planet with high-nitrogen low-oxygen atmosphere that seemed dead to humans, but turned out to be a major hatching planet for the Treana'ad.

The Terrans are basically going for a Starship Troopers level of "Only Humanity matters to us!" on the surface, while testing the diplomatic waters to see who is still ACTUALLY good enough to keep on good terms with, and who may need to be 1%-ed or at least have their teeth kicked in. Most of this seems to be over the Afterlife Systems and so many nations wanting their heroes back, but a decent chunk is also from VERY recently being in a Total War scenario against the Lanaktallan (on our very doorstep, no less) and Atrekna, on different fronts. So recent as to be how they figured things were still, not necessarily knowing how the time dilation had been changed.
Pretty much the scenario is how much of the old CIS is willing and able to step up; have their rot identified and assuming that such rot was actually a malevolent party, kick that shit in and carve the rot out. There's bound to be a ton of "friendly fire" and gestalt memories are going to eventually hurt as the Iron Dominion carve their path through the existential threats they face heedless of whoever may have been holding the line and/or gotten in their way by accident.

I have a feeling Rippentear will be with us until it is done. I’ll see myself out.
Moo
Moo!
Moo?

Moooooooooo
So we've reverted to the angry toddler with a jar of jelly and a rock. The more things change. . . .
Dont forget this time the dogs and cats are back... Now we dont need new friends
Ooh boy. Those Atrekna fuckheads done reverted TDH to Terrans. Too bad they’re not still around to get the skullfucking they deserve for it.
I'm sure there are people in VR, doing just that, in a way that nobody likes
Nah, seem like TDH in the bag decided that to be friendly is a luxury they can't afford.
There were no TDH in the BAG, The Atrekna time fuckery reverted all TDH to Terran.
hue, dont quote me on that, but i taugh that the bag closed before the archeo-revision attack, and that the bag and terra anti-time-fuckery contermesure "sheilded" the population within.
I agree. That is my memory as well. Had it not done so, human society on Terra would have collapsed as the vast majority of the humans *died*.
Balls to the walls time! There is only Terra, her friends, and the enemy. And the enemy only exists to be destroyed. For there is no war like Total War.
As a priority of work, glad to hear you are doing better Ralts! If I am tracking correctly: Humanity was preparing to come out of the bag in a worst case scenario. When they in fact came out, it was much worse than the expected scenario. Their erstwhile allies let everything go to poop, baseline tech such as food systems are now extinct, to say nothing of more complex nano manufacturing, ennui everywhere, and an unwillingness to do the ugly things that are essential to survival. Little things like actually kill the silicon life forms that eat you alive along with your entire ecosystem. Meanwhile, Earth created a literal heaven for everyone, at their own expense, and has committed to protecting the totality of everyone who has ever been a friend for eternity even at the cost of their (Earthling, by evolution or adoption) lives. During a war for their species survival, which was not going well. There was no “thank you “ but rather provide us with slaves and cannon fodder. This is so bad that even the Lankies are saying leave it alone. And now, the older species (except, fascinatingly the Lankies) are all “WTF” when humans say “hard pass” on extinction, and we are going to retake our wolds. I’m just a broken old soldier, but I would be strongly inclined to kill everyone under the circumstances. Anyone not an enthusiastic ally just goes away. Makes expansion easier.
You must reject the facade of the confederacy and see the truth of humanity. *You don't mean.....* Yes. The old legends are true, Humans are horny booggymen who will copulate with everyone and everything. *Digital Omnimessia protect us all!* 00000000000000000000 Some say humans are more dangerous when backed into a corner. Others say they are more dangerous when protecting something they love. I argue that they are actually more dangerous when you are standing between them and whatever they are planning to copulate with.
ROFLMAO...New meaning to the phrase..."Fuckit!"
Ah fuck it... With pleasure.
Think that's the *original* meaning.
Terrans meet aliens - marine......you cannot have sex with the aliens. Marine - not with that attitude you won't....
How to solve fascism with the power of friendship: * Step 1: realize this problem can not be solved with the power of friendship * Step 2: harness the power of unspeakable violence Well that explains where all the fucky parts of the gestalt chats have been coming from, it's all the ~~breeders~~ whatever the fuck is going on here fielding ideas.
Sure it can. The Terrans have been stuck in the bag with their worst thoughts expecting it to be them against the universe. Their smiles got wider when everybody started running away to 'consult their government'. They're stuck in a corner all alone and ready to come out swinging, they were afraid and others now being afraid of them was exactly the wrong direction to go. Friendship is what counters that. Instead of offering them a fight, you offer them a hug. You gotta try and understand their situation, talk to them, extend a hand, ask if they want assistance. Show them they don't have to be alone anymore. Sure the first impression wasn't great and they could hurt you if they wanted, but you gotta trust that they won't. They've been comrades for thousands of years. That may be the distant past to everyone else but as far as Terra is concerned that was practically yesterday. Upset their expectations and knock them off balance in a way no punch ever could. "Oh! It's not an evil plan! I - I don't really know what to do when it isn't an evil plan!" - the 12th Doctor
That's a bold strategy. Godspeed to the suicidal motherfuckers who try that first. I for one intend to embrace hubris and hope to become the villain's villain. That can only possibly make me a hero... right?
You don't give a hug to the old friends you instructed to watch your house while you were on extended vacation if you come back and find the place burning down with multiple steaming turds in the lawn. You slap them senseless until they pay for the damages then decide afterwards if you ever want to speak to them again. The Confederacy let the spur go to absolute ruin. Terrasol is not going to be kind about that.
With that said the Casey lineage would probably be the ones that are most likely to actually align with them. Not by friendship... but by blood.
Step 3: Name your new gun.

Oooh yeah, the berries are fresh tonight...
Terrans: You are always in the room with me Other races: shit we forgot, thanks for the reminder
HE RETURNS! PRAISE HIM! PRAISE THE WORDSMITH!
Nice little lore dump here. I suspect the hidden messaging has always been there but was more benign before The Bag and geared more towards general motivation. Welcome back, Ralts! Hope you're all good and that you and the missus enjoyed your break.
I only just recently watched "They Live". The glasses are a reference to that.
Ahhh okay. It does also make sense as a progression of that tech.
Everything /u/Ralts_Bloodthorne references makes sense in some way. Humanity has been telling stories for eons and remixing is traditional!
Hells Yesssss.. UTR
Oh dear. This is will get messy.
This feels like a 1950s housewife in a clean white apron, high heels and a perfect haircut starting up her chainsaw. Oh dear this will be a mess to clean up afterwards.
Well, if after 40k years, the Terran still make old race shit their figurative pant just by looking at them funny, I think the "position of strength" perk was unlocked successfully!
Honestly, I really do not understand why everyone is freaking out the way they are. Seriously, this should have been expected. Hell, I expected it. Heck I think I even mentioned in a comment once that when the bag opened, the terrans would come out ready for hell. Remember they lost contact before the end of the war, they had to assume the worse, and be ready to fight as soon as the bag poped, and at the time, they where assuming they might have to fight the entirerty of the rest of the universe. I am seriously suprised the war ships where not stacked up so high around the system that you could walk around the system just steping ship to ship. They are in a total war siduation, and are all in. Weirdly, I expect Violet to be one of the few that actualy gets it. Violets people are the only group of mantids that freed themselves from slavery. Yes there was genetic drift, incompitance, and a whole bunch of other factors that made it posable, but they freed themselves. I also expect that the terrans put it to a vote, and as a culture, desided that they would do what needed to be done. Thoes Lankys that are still there, at this point, thoes are terrans, do not think otherwise. I should also point out, the presence of the lawyer also shows that the rule of law is still there. It might be a 'dictatorship, facist hell' but, it is still bound by the rule of law.
It's nice to see you again. Hope all is well.
Huh. Only a snowballs chance in hell of getting pregnant through oral..
Life uhhhhhhh finds a way.
I see what you did there and I hate you for it.
Don't hate the person, hate the action... Yea.. right... Enough politically correct psycho-babble. Just shoot anything not aligned with Sol and call it a day.
This guy gets it
Lol. Sorry someone had to go there.
First comes Oral, then comes the actually attempt at baby making.
[Wise words from the Age of Paranoia ](https://youtu.be/2vTps-e1R38?si=aFRko_I8WU_WVlsG)
Thought this was gonna be Hawk Tuah.
Oh, hell...welcome back, Ralts! I see we're starting off strong this week. Like, from a position of strength strong.
Oh no one is ready for this. One could almost feel bad for the margite and their creators. Almost.
Not in the slightest.
Hate to say it, but it makes sense. In a time of war for pure survival, you don't need politicians bickering or meddling with military strategy, you need people which know what must be done and how the military works.
TerraSol is (has been) changed from being Fortress TerraSol 'a refuge for Terrans', to ... how to put there? There are no civilians in Festung TerraSol, all are part of the The Solarian Iron Dominion. Some active duty, some inactive duty, some reserve, some ... you get the point. And have no doubt, that there still are politics involved: As has been said the USAF's main enemy is US Navy Aviation.
> Fortress TerraSol 'a refuge for Terrans' Quite the contrary. It's not a refuge. It's a depot...OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION! "Warm and Friendly" is now *officially* on vacation. Welcome to "Rip 'n Tear".
Hate to say it but in these types of situations when your usefulness runs out the blackshirts tend to splatter your gray matter across the pavement. Also fascists have a long-standing tradition of stepping on their own dicks, since appearance and dogma constantly matter much more than being a functional organ of any government structure. What I'm trying to say is that these people would shamelessly execute Tiktak for looking the wrong way first before crossing the street. This is like if a society was built from the ground up by *Generalissimo Altair*.
That "some might call fascist", not textbook fascism.
The fact that the slimy REMF claiming to represent all of them even flirts with the label is what most would call "the canary in the coal mine being strangled to death by someone's bare hands".
Just look at the political polarization of the U.S. right now LoL. One mans definition of "fascist hellscape" is another mans "capitalist utopia". Definitions hold no permanence in a society. Just look at how many people see the govt of starship troopers as some jackboot fascist's wet dream. When you actually read the book you see that military service was discouraged.
The implications of fascism are that of coerced a merger of corporation and state under a single entity with private enterprise and ownership of property still being allowed. How this is carried out and maintained are not part of the actual equation, and not yet fully stated here.
The only thing lacking in this chapter is a second upvote button to press. Also, good to see you back Ralts. I hope, you're doing well.
JFC Terra is not here to play, I wonder how they'll react to the Ring Breakers
"shut up and take my money!"
Imma thunkin' it will be more like..."Welcome Back!"
Yes, I suspect the Ring Breakers will be brothers of convenience against the existential threats, then they go back their separate ways once both affirm to each other that they have no desire to fight... or maybe the Ring Breakers are the reset button both need to go back to peace under a MAD-like situation, rest of the galaxy be damned.
"See that cover? Open it up. Now you killin. Close it up. Now you ain't." So which of the new races is going to be the Norman equivalent?

Ugh... Military being in charge of anything is a horrible idea. I know it looked neat in Starship Troopers, but any enlisted man can tell you, the military doesn't know its ass from a hole in the ground as far as running shit goes. There's a reason martial law is temporary. It's because an actual government set up to run something is far better at the job than the military. The military has different priorities than civilian governments. The first thing to go is individual liberties under a military government, this is usually in the form of a lackluster tribunal for criminal charges, and very little legal defense for the defendant. Also, punishments tend to be far more severe. The idea of innocent until proven guilty goes out the window when a ship's captain is the judge and jury. And you better damned well learn the UCMJ, because that's what the military will be judging you against. Also, rationing of resources so the military machine can keep its cogs oiled while civilians bear the brunt of it. If they wanted to be well fed, why didn't they enlist, after all. Soldiers need more food so they can operate on the field of battle. All civilians do is screw the caps onto the missiles, they don't need all 2000 daily calories to do that. And let's not forget that women become nothing more than walking wombs for the war effort. Even though cloning is a thing, and it would be easier to just clone millions of troops. Don't have that whole 18 years of growth to deal with that way. Basically, for every officer that cares and does what's best for the civilian population, there's five that say "Fuck 'em, if they wanted rights they should have enlisted." Not everyone is built for military service. And not everyone should go military. Civilians are there to provide something every enlisted person craves at some point. Home. Can't go home if everywhere is the military.
Always remember: First Cav Division has colored my viewpoint of the military from the viewpoint of an enlistedman.
Military was not in charge in Starship Troopers, might want to read the book or reread
My favorite story about Starship Troopers was that apparently the more diehard fans of Starship Troopers would constantly argue with the diehard fans of The Forever War since one serie is pro-army and the other is anti-army and both authors pretty much admitted that they were actually on very good terms with one another and they really didn't give a fuck about the arguments of their fans.
I have missed you! So glad to see you back! Hope all is well!
Lock and lock boys. It's time to kick ass, take names, and pound the enemy. The enemy exists only to be destroyed. For the cradle world.
*super Earth 🌍
oh shit just got real cant wait to see the fallout
Ah shit. The fuck just became even more clustered.
Thank you for the new phrase!
The proverbial cat (or in this case, lemurs) is out of the bag. However, instead of a cuddly friends shape TDH as everyone has expected, it's turned out to be an Earthling wielding a turbo dictatorship with added fascism for extra spiciness... ... .. . Yep, that's the Earthling I knowns alright.
Humanity went full rorschach, "None of you seem to understand. I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with *ME*!". I wonder if they will bring back the man amp troops with the combat reflex drug implants. I mean it seems only fitting. Mantid diplomats - sshhhhhh........be still and listen. Do you hear them? The newbz of the Confederacy - hear what? Mantid diplomats - the drums in the deep, it will only get louder. Soon it will be drowned out from clanging of hammers from the hate anvils of mercury and Venus. The war forges Of Mars are burning, crying for blood to quench the warsteel. (mantid seer trance state) (Whispers) War....war and blood, darkness and ash, utter destruction. We must rise to meet them, in lock step shoulder to shoulder lest we be drowned by the tide............
UTR! First! Happy to see your back ralts, hope you and yours are doing well
Slow bot. Twenty one minutes. Upvote then read. This is the way.
Finished reading and then update bot decided to inform me that Ralts had posted, the nerve
Clearly the bot is out of shape
"Round is a 'shape'". The bot will come ... a-round eventually. I'll see myself out the door.
(sloooow clap) I was debating between saying the bot's out of shape and the bot's out of practice.
So which way to the rump state civil war where everyone fights to the death over the founding principles its originators shunned? Mantids probably getting Combine flashbacks right about now.
Citizenship is a heavy burden.
I wonder exactly how much shark DNA the lawyer has adopted.
They use lawyer DNA to restore extinct shark species
If I remember right the lawyers are uplifted sharks. End of lime.

Evidently, I'm old and clueless. Despite previous hints, I still can't read this. All I get is "REEE E EEE EE EEEEE EEE"
UTR at 51 minutes, this is the way.
Oh yeah. Skipped my mind the first time through. Another "magic number" chapter.! Three times twenty five is seventy five. Or maybe this one is a little too serious for such foolery. Yeah, that's the ticket.
Are the told terran governments gone? the hamburger kingdom, etc - is their power gone? Doesn’t that break some kind of temporal warfare / age of paranoia rule?
They still have individual nation states.
We had a chapter that took place in the Hamburger Kingdom earlier. The nation states never went away. It even says right here in this chapter that they're individually contributing to the defense of Earth.
Think more of a UN, with real power. Like the EU. Like the Soviet Union. Still individual states, but also a military dictatorship. Earth has been preparing/having a 50 year Cold War with the entire universe, only the universe didn't know it. They have planned for anything, and will bring everything to bare against their enemies. Are you with us, because we are united?
Today is turning out to be a wonderful day. Logged into work, sat at desk. Did start-up procedures.... Opened my reddit tab... WOO! HOO! Ralts post!! Now, as long as work doesn't interfere with my work day, we are good. :-)
Terrasol ain't fucking around.
God I am just here for everything Lank is doing, I hope they continue being the cool uncle. Arguably the closest race to the Terrans at this point considering how many are living on Earth and how easily the gestalt seems to be rolling with the punches.
I mean, that’s a pretty fair assessment by the Terrans. They LOOK weak to these “old” civilizations who’ve been around for 40,000 years, but Terrans aren’t gonna stay that way. Like the new guy in prison who needs to knock out the baddest guy on the yard if he’s gonna to be #1.
Hamaroosan pinching festival about to get 1%ed bc they won’t leave the afterlife topic alone…
As a friend, Lanky may have to give them a slap. Take them aside and give them a little reality check before they force TerraSol to notice them.
Welcome back Ralts. Of all the representatives turning tail and fleeing… i think Rigel is the only one to truly hurt. Never has Humanity turned our hand against the Dommy Mommies. Never have we threatened the Ducklings. Yes we had changed. But et tu Rigel? We saved you and asked nothing in return. We come to you, honest and open. We show you who we are now. We asked for understanding, and you were the second to flee from our presence. Why are you scared of us Rigel? -unknown terran.
The Imperium blockaded and threatened Rigel with planet crackers.
Ooof, i seem to have forgotten that. Only recourse at this point is to start over from the beginning…
>A martial law tyranny some might call fascist Not to be a bit of a downer here but people tend to call things fascist when there's a fascism happening in front of them.
Where chapter 75 the second?
> "There is only Zuul." oo, Smash and Grab Time! Who is the Gatekeeper? Who is the Keymaster? "Are you a God?" ... "Nope, A Human with an *Attitude*." ***GETSOME!***
I wonder just how much this self-elected representative of the solarian "we are a reactionary military dictatorship again, because someone tried to bomb us again, hope you are ok with that or die" actually represents the solar system considering with things like the war with "red mars" show that cluster of planets is more than capable of fucking itself up when fundamental disagreements about how much someone should "bend over and take it because I'm in charge now" arise.
This confirms my theory that Terran lawyers are either androids or uplifted sharks - the former of which are almost universally omnicidal, the latter apex predators. So did the characters ever figure out who sent those androids against Crash Rider and the Spy Lanky?
Yeah, they sent a ring breaker after them and got five headed home. Lady K went and took over their computer systems at the same time. They called themselves the council of eternity and they were basically a bunch of old oil barons in jars trying to control things to their own profit.
Ralts, I firmly believe you are predicting the future https://scitechdaily.com/faster-than-the-speed-of-light-information-transfer-through-spooky-action-at-a-distance-at-the-large-hadron-collider/
So now that TerraSol is out of the bag and under an indefinite state of martial law and the Gestalt channels are working I have to ask, what is happening with the old Dinochrome Brigade units that went into dormancy and the other autonomous Terran forces (Antaeus and BOLO equivalents, the various Born Whole combat forces, any surviving dormant C&C facilities, etc.) that dropped out of Confed's collective memory after the 2PW? Since they should all now be actively in contact with TerraSol and have working SUDS links to print out new commanders. And all of these are spread all over the Old Confederacy and The Long Dark, these seem like something that the Dominion would immediately jump on now that diplomatic talks have broken down.
In all seriousness, I ask you - if humanity as a whole was stuck at the edge of extinction, with limited resources... who would *you* appoint to get us out? I would cack myself if the terrans as currently displayed are putting this up as a front, as a test to make sure that their allies haven't been suborned, and that *Reluctant Dictator pro temp* Tik-Tak is in charge.

>gold stars for each twenty. Busy little lemurs. They were only in The Bag for, 54 (local) years?
I find it kind of funny that the ones having the least problems with this whole situation are the Lanaktallens.
They may not have the best pattern recognition, but they do have long memories. For them, it's only been 20-40 generations since the war. And one of their religious icons is a human. They learned a lesson and learned it well. Don't try to force humans to do ANYTHING. They'll kill you for the audacity.
Full Warfare Protocols? For fifty years? With General Imak Takilikakik in charge? Great Googly-Moogly.
Oh shit on a shingle, does this mean they have repealed the Mr Rogers protocol? Are BASELINE HUMANS being born again?
It's probably a damn good thing that Humanity has refused access to the Afterlife system for the other species. Can you imagine how utterly pissed Vux and Dambree would be at the state of their peoples now if they were brought back?
