Tied everything up nicely. I was about to say they should have sent a message ahead of time, but that was well explained. Excellent story!!

Good story! Had to save it in 2 folders--Audio Dramas and Humor.😂 A sequel would be interesting.😊

The aliens' decision to surrender without trying to negotiate terms is not quite completely nonsensical because they knew about Earth's rules and customs regarding surrender. But it makes zero sense for Earth to offer to surrender to surrender to a completely unknown alien species without any attempt to negotiate and without even a shred of information about what terms the aliens might decide to impose.

Good story! Nice ending. The aliens are going to love hot dogs and cheeseburgers! And reruns of Star Trek.

Very novel ending. I've only got a published story with two out to my beta readers. A marvelous piece of work.

Good story. Needs a sequel though. There are a lot of open options here

Unfortunately time dilation onboard the ships doesn’t work like that

My first thought with the discovery of an incoming Alien fleet, .. it was possibly refugees?.. Not invaders given the size of it.. I'd guess that species survival was a more likely reason to travel here before waiting until they could develop FTL and a much easier trip with more options like opting for uninhabited by sentients choice than a possibly violent societal clash that could kill us both off.

Their chosen solution, outstanding!!!... both survive and continue, a joint venture to stay connected and advance both our scientific knowledge.. The ones who opt to stay on Earth greatly advance expanding exploration and resource gathering here in our system aiding us locally, as we gather the fuel they need.. our volunteers who travel with them to a different system grant us the huge benefit of being on more than one world, .. So we can have other options if we ever faced a mass extinction event like they did.

Each building new, smaller fleets to land on other unoccupied worlds, so no need to fight over a landing..

a VERY well thought out story, one that supposes both species are ultimately a moral people who are happy to help each other rather than just fight. Exploring better options that benefit both species..

Thank you.. a very good story based on actual realities as we know them.. and one aimed at a better future for all.🤔🤔
