Podcast is Called : ASN Humans Are Space Orcs , HFY and other stories
--------------

This Story is Classified as HFY or Humanity Feck, Yea , but what does the Mean?
-------------
HFY is a story/series that takes a “human element” in either humanity or an “other” (race/species or object) that exists in a “setting” (future or other world/universe) with varying levels of culture, technology, society and history that help show in some shape or form the potential good or bad for humanity’s race/culture. In These stories Humans are often referred to as Human, Humanity, Deathworlder, Hellwolder in reference to the human planet of origin , Earth. This planet is seen by most of the universe as a place where only death and chaos can survive.
-------------
Taken from the FAQ of the r/HFY subreddit.

Humans Are Space Orcs (HASO) or Humans Are (Fantasy Race) Are used as a guide when writing.
In these Stories we normally View humans like the other races view orcs in a Fantasy Novel. We (Humans) share the same characteristics and personalities as orcs. Humans are normally treated as the outsiders and barbarians. Humans tend to be underestimated as well in these stories. Unlike Humanity Feck Yea , these don't always put a positive spin on humans\humanity sometimes looking at the darker side of human and humanity from the perspective of aliens.

[Bilskirnir]

Don't. Touch. The. Boats. We take that personal.

[DragonJohn]

“Nitrogen started replacing helium”

I’ll bet there were more than a few giggles among the infiltration team

[merlinathrawes]

A standard seize and investigate, something that STARTS with disabling a strange ship rather than making attempts to communicate, is a HELL of a way to make first contact and not a very smart way at that. You're absolutely bound to run into someone that not only doesn't appreciate being shot at, but will shoot back and likely bring friends to the party.

[EricTheKei]

"And it was then that we all learned to fear the wrath of those who sailed under the banner of the Flying Squirrel."

[JosephWiess]

"Sir, what should we do?"
As a Terran, I would suggest opening hailing frequencies and begging forgiveness, above all, don't open fire, don't attack.
We might feel merciful. It's doubtful, but there's always a chance.
There needs to be more of this story.

[luzifershadres]

General: "Sir, isnt it short sighted to expel other species from our border like that?"

High Command: "Not this shit again. As if anyone could do anything against us."

-Later-

General: "Uhmm sir? There is a group of battleships holding our biggest military base outside the core hostage."

High command: Suprised pikachu face

[Darkinu]

A classic.

Standard Seize and Capture Procedure?

Yeah, it was only a matter of time before someone took offence to having their home invaded.

The Captain had better be apologetic as all hell.

[Shadow.Dragon]

Great story; Excellent narration! That ending reminded me of "The Last Starfighter" "Commander, what do we do...? We Die!" LOL!!!

[Chokah]

I'm kind of surprised the end didn't involved their comms being hacked and the last sentence being "One chance. EXPLAIN YOURSELVES"

[markschneider]

Yeah, thought that "seize and investigate" policy was a really bad idea right from the start. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
"W
Surrender, General."

[TheJMPD]

The general should immediately broadcast their surrender, and request a parlay to explain and discuss options.
Any other response, would be folly.

[patrickmoore]

Got to love with the "proportional response".

[Wastelandman]

A bit of advice to the General. Have all personnel who can escape on the warships go and surrender. You might still be able to make peace and clear up the misunderstanding. Or at least temper the Terrans wrath by making it clear what happened was a combination of bad policy and a bungled first contact and apologize profusely.

It might work. Better option in the long run to trying to fight the crazy war apes.

[-MeatsOfEvil-]

Xeno: Seize and investigate, what could go wrong?
Hooomans: War paint comes out, boss music begins to play.

[achimdemus-holzhaeuser]

Descrioption of the Classified Symbol :
An upright cylinder with two circles at one end.

[mackenziedrake]

Yeah, somebody done fucked up. Many thanks!

[robertfraser]

Those aliens forgot a saying that the Terran alliance bluntly reminded them of " there's always a bigger fish."

[MyrdinAnnoth]

Love how the Humans in this story are essentially Xenomorphs

[Avigorus]

First thought that comes through my head is that whoever programmed that classified symbol lock was an idiot, the system should've automatically transmitted the entire data package where the symbol was seen to the high command the instant it was detected due to the perceived threat level...

[SoManyDogs]

So…basically….they brought Zenomorphs onto their ship….then handed them advanced technology. That’s…not going to end well.
