dalekteaservice wrote this awesome “humans are space orcs” story about an alien race making first contact with the terrifying humans. But it doesn’t end how you might expect:
This always make me tear up whenever I read it. Such a hopeful message that highlights the potential for good in humanity, despite – or maybe even because of – our crude and violent origins
The doctor opened fire with a concealed pistol once she was sure the aliens were unprepared for war. Then an elite team of soldiers massacred the rest of the colonists. It turned out that the disease had been created by the humans as a way of softening the planet before invasion.
The organisation mentioned exists in real life if anyone wants to donate

I cry at this too. What does that say about us that we cry at hope?
Love it.
So what happened next?
