Some leaders: "We must surrender!"
Other leaders: "We must fight!"
Me: "Win later. The choice is a false dichotomy. Set up the groundwork for future resistance, if they turn out to be bad masters."
Reality: I'll never be in a position of power, because all so-called 'leaders' do is gatekeep to keep everything for themselves, rather than benefit the future of humanity.

"These creatures are like ants!..." How the hell does an alien know about ants?

So, how does Commander Silas know about "ants"?
Oh, someone else had the same thought... Nevermind.
However, it took the Apollo missions 4 days to get to the moon. <Scratches head>

And, Earth's scientists examined the recovered wreckage of alien ships and reverse engineered the technology to advance Earth's space capability and weapons. Interesting story.

Humanity couldn't defeat and alien invasion, we couldn't even mount an organised response against Covid-19.

Invasion not yet begun but ground forces using guerrilla tactics are effective ? Inconsistencies in these AI stories ruin what should be good stories.

What is an "Oxygen-18 pulse" weapon supposed to be? Are they like spray can?

I am still not clear what the aliens would want from Earth. Is there something on Earth that the aliens find valuable?

This story sounds like a technobabble-ized space opera. Like if the Star Wars movies included pop-ups of info from the Technical Manual books. There used to be Hard Science fiction, that used realistic Science and Math to move the story forward. Robert A. Heinlein stories about the Howard Families and the Colonizing of Space; H. Beam Piper's stories of Little Fuzzy and the Second Race of Humanity, and The Space Vikings. People who used slide-rulers and advanced mental math to develop FTL.

Author seems to have difficulty with the idea that atmosphere only exists near a planets surface. Sure, an EMP can radiate further, but from where did all the craft come that human pilots are using to engage the aliens beyond the atmosphere?

The A.I. captioning is even worse than the story. The voice says: "Vraxar", but the captioning texts say "Vaxar". Names, proper nouns, and puntuation totally escape AI. Thus proving that it truly IS artificial intelligence.

"As dawn broke over the planet..."
huh? You mean Earth as a whole?

... and i'm surprised how often the word "council" as the highest instances of human society appears.
do you know the russian word for "council"?

The moderator is monotone and difficult to listen to.
