My Dr. prescribes Starbound twice a day.

Them: "Primitive..."
Me and Inigo Montoya: You keep on using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

The good old appear weak when you are strong, and wait for the bullies to show up and test "their might".

Good story about FAFO.

Appreciate the quality content through the holidays

Consider this in light of the recent NJ drone scare.

Alien: Why must we put these red and green lights on the farthest horizontal extent of our craft? And all of this extra white lighting?

Human: So we can see you and not run into you.

Alien (confused): You rely on your eyesight? Don't you have automatic flight systems for collision avoidance? Surely every craft in your airspace independently detects anything in its vicinity and alters its flight path accordingly.

Human: I presume you're talking about airborne radar. Not only don't our commercial aircraft emit any sort of radar or lidar, it's illegal for them to do so. Only military and air traffic control can do that. The people at ATC look at radar returns and instruct pilots to alter their course accordingly.

Alien (aghast): MANUALLY?

Human: Is there any other way? Collision avoidance requires making intelligent decisions considering all aspects of the airspace. They do have automatic collision warning systems based on altitude, heading, and speed, but the ultimate rerouting decision is made by the ATC operator.

Alien: Don't you use AI for that?

Human: Absolutely not! How can we be sure that the AI is trained correctly and will make correct decisions in all cases? We can't allow for error: lives are at stake.

Alien (thinking): And they think manually rerouting traffic is safe? Humans are insane!

Human: Oh, yeah, that reminds me: you need to get those radars off when you're in our airspace. ATC will handle traffic management.

Alien (thinking, walking away flabbergasted): They want us to fly WITHOUT RADAR??? We'll need to issue some stringent safety protocols. No one flies in human airspace unless it's life-or-death, and they need to use the shortest course possible.

Just thought of the probability drive from hitchhikers guide to the galaxy when they turned into balls of yarn. 😂

PFFFH i love that you, mr narrator, used that voice in the “check if you’re subscribed” bit!

[RichardStrong]

How many times do you want to mention "quantum"?

Yes.

[derekc.]

the author really likes the word 'quantum'

[arecane]

Just a note,
The chief Engineer is referred to as; "The ChEng". Rhymes with Ming.
Thank you.

I get the impression this story was written using a Buzz Word Generator....
There seems to be a competition between the various narration pages at the moment over how many times they can fit the word "quantum" into a story, but this one takes it to a whole new level, as well as throwing in words like "matrices", "crystalline", and "harmonics" with total abandon.
There are some major plot holes. if humans have the level of technology described. Why do they sit back pretending to be primitive ? By the standard of most HFY stories, they would have already conquered half the galaxy, (we wouldn't be able to help ourselves). Secondly, if we'd have had a previous run in with Vor'kath, with the technology available, their home world would be pure glass before this story even started. Thirdly, I can't believe that Earth would blow their cover as a "primitive" world by giving the ship a major upgrade as a freebie. That is not the humanity I know.
Some positive things though. As usual the narration was top class, and, Sarah Chen did not make an appearance 😁

When you think you're at the peak of galactic civilization, only to learn that you're just a naive interloper...

'The kweeper belt'. ROFLOL That alone is worth the listen!!!

that very much sounds like an adaptation of either The Infinite Improbability Drive or a Bistro Math drive core

I have the distinct feeling that whatever method of energy harnessing is used makes a fully functional set of ZPM's ( Stargate Atlantis) look like a AAA alkaline battery depleted to within a couple of atoms of becoming inert
