What? Dogs can reach costs of a small fortune. Stealing high end puppies can be very lucrative, and one can easily offset the guilt by making sure they go to good people. So, yeah, people are gonna steal puppies.
Sadly, it depends on who you ask. I've seen many treat refugees and immigrants as a threat. But I like to think more of us have compassion fo those in need than fear for them.
@@The_ViscountAlso, those fears are often based on baseless fearmongering - that is, some people telling them that they should fear them because X, Y, and Z when X, Y, and Z are either distortions of the truth or outright lies, because that makes them more likely to support the ones who do that in whatever they want to do that needs such support, and is usually unrelated.
@@The_Viscount There is actually real logic involved. Mostly because the systems have been abused. Take a look at the US southern border. Many estimates put the crossings as 2/3rds or even more as military age men. Not women and children who historically have been most refugees but men in their mid teens through mid 30's. This is a bad look full stop even if we assume all are legitimate refugees. Things like this really push peoples limits in what they will accept. It is much easier to accept women and children or full families then a bunch of random men. It really isn't helped that many can point to actual negative outcomes associated with such movements of people as even when you can also point to positive outcomes the negative ones tend to stay in people's minds easier.

Mandatoryfunday has good videos pretending to be counties about this. So does habituallinecrosser and another guy with map face videos I can’t remember the weird channel names for. TLDR Canada and Poland are why we have it for “normal” war fighters and not civilians. So brutal it’s almost funny.
Alien: wait, if your apex predators why the didn't you all go extinct from war!?!? Human: almost did. But got bored. Invented space travel and ftl and eventually got here. Alien 2: BORED!?!??!
Definitely wasn’t expecting the Amber Alert to make an appearance, but it makes sense…no matter how far we go, I suppose we’ll always need to find our children
As a practical matter.. they (slavers) practiced their trade on HUMAN turf.. 1 if they get away with it then they will do it again. 2 Next time it may be a human child and 3 it makes the Human station look weak and the command staff look bad. Any of these will often get a violent response.. and should.
yep. Letting "guests" get away with one crime is a signal to the rest that they can too and the station will lose it's authoritay. Responding to infractions with overwhelming force is a clear sign to others "Don't you try that around here either." aka "Fuck around and find out."
Yesterday I was listening to a story about a first contact between Space Fennics and the Humans. The story was from the Xeoes point of view with a wonkey translation device. The female human in the first contact team saw the fuzzies and snatched one up and started petting it. The male said 'You can keep doing that until the ambassador shows up." Only for the squirming ambassador to say 'Well, I am the ambassador." The translation device said "Copulation." I knew what it meant.
If they were fully honest, they might have said "We don't work without payment either. But no payment is greater than the knowledge that you've helped someone in need. That smile on your little one's face is worth more to us than this entire station."
There's another reason the station did all that. Letting "guests" get away with one crime is a signal to the rest that they can too and the station will lose it's authoritay. Responding to infractions with overwhelming force is a clear sign to others "Don't you try that around here either." aka "Fuck around and find out."
Well if there are children involved.... I'm a helicopter crew chief that flew in HEMS missions. If there were kids involved we would go in conditions that were not safe for flying. Imagine trying to navigate in a fog flying 50-70meters above highway (ususaly fog is less there due to road temp. and you know where highway is) crew looking out trying not to hit anything. We wouldn't do that for anyone but as said if it was kids all bets were off.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. The golden rule. Love thy neighbor. It's nice to think we as a species will embrace that mindset in the future. Unlikely. But we can hope.
it really is a good story. I wish all humans were as good as that, but I think in the reality they need to help in the moment would come across exactly that way. Thank you for your words, and give some thought please to a series where the humans taking more of her people, and keep one on each military vessel, as a means of protection. ironically this could save many more lives as her people would not only protect the humans, but keep the humans from misunderstanding others, and therefore protecting them

@@solomonburns7137I'm pretty sure by the time we enter the stars at this level. Genetic manipulation will be in full swing. Spartans will probably only be the first step.
As an old Marine - I can relate to the protective feelings that those Marine grunts had for those who were weaker and/or less fortunate (ie: Gree'sha, Jinya). I tried my best to both know and to come to the defense of our weaker allies - and to treat the people in every country with the respect and deference that they deserved. However, that abruptly stops as soon as I detect a dishonorable, lying person - no matter who they are....
"To survive on our world, we evolved a base instinct. Our kind before oursleves. It is the source of our greatest triumphs and darkest shames in equal measure. We care deeply for what is us, and we hate deeply what is them. It is why we killed out own race with such ferocity so often. And still, some of us only conseptualize a pack of one and care only for themselves. But we were only able to get where we are by realizing that all of us were us. And those who couldn't or wouldn't care to help someone in need was them."
Its really fitting that when humanty see refugees being treated terribly, we all feel like we are suddenly injected with a sympathy dose, and when it comes to a missing child? that sympathy turns into a resolve, worry and rage of a stressed mother as if the the child were our own
There's another reason the station did all that. Letting "guests" get away with one crime is a signal to the rest that they can too and the station will lose it's authoritay. Responding to infractions with overwhelming force is a clear sign to others "Don't you try that around here either." aka "Fuck around and find out."
Especially if that crime involves kids. This gives every species a very, very clear message. "We do not fuck around. Touch a child, and it will be the last thing you do."
To quote the doctor from Doctor who “Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life. An unimportant life. A life without privilege."

Just wow. This story was so emotionally powerful and I don't mean to make light of the fact that it's about an empath either. It was truly a great reading and wonderful story.
I imagine that a part two of this story would somehow lead to others seeing that the humans would help protect them. Accidentally causing a refugee crisis. Ending with an alliance with the remnants of her people and humans.
It took hundreds of years for humanity to officially end slavery and any display of it is an affront to all our progress and work to move away from it. And we especially don't take kindly to children being harmed
I'm pretty sure that we'd adopt the Denoli as our own. Their empathic skills would be vital assets in many fields, particularly as teachers and criminal investigators.

Yelp,humans are argumentative, anger,volatile to a fault. But where we choose to be we are gracious to all. Children and the weak are our weakness. Don't mess with either.
Humans may only attain this level of dedication to a noble goal, such as protecting refugees and kids, to do the opposite from the entire rest of the galaxy
I mean most of the time there is a need for compensation... but not everything needs compensation. Some things need to be done regardless... just because of the principle of it and as a example.
I mean we come to the conclusion that Slacery is bad like two centuries ago. And I sure as hell want to keep it that way. We have to better our current situation, as it is not perfect itself. But I believe we will rise above any kind of slavery, hidden in technicalities or not. Slavery shall be ridden by the Human race in the future. And I remain optimistic we can do it.
And should we enter the cosmos as the only ones who feel that way… The slavers of galaxy will learn to fear the legacy of John Brown, the enslaved will consider him a prophet.
my fookin eye have leaked all the way though this. I hope this become a series where humans help these peoples and they give back and enhance our race with there gifts.......
The slavers messed with three women and a child. QED. "By whatever means necessary" orders are issued to a bunch of VERY protective marines. And two more people are pack bonded with humans (if they weren't already).
I sincerely hope we all know we only act this way for "our own". If not, study "in group and out group". It's very important that we all make the effort to recognize those not like us as still our own, and more so to raise our children that way. These humans clearly are good people, meaning their definition is very inclusive. I suspect slavers are "out group".

that story is very well written and touching if one asks me, also well told, thanks a lot
Go darn it, I don't have a tear welling my eyes from that story, I'm not having feels from it either.
My word, that was an unexpectedly good tale!
Good short story, Damn good story. Thank you for narrating it for us. :)
I really hope that this becomes a series.
Humans may only attain this level of dedication to a noble goal, such as protecting refugees and kids, to do the opposite from the entire rest of the galaxy
I love this story. For the algorithm.
This is strangely very very wholesome for a hfy story and one of the best ones for me atleast (coming from a m1a2 sepv3 main battle tank)
Ahhhh... So i see we need wood chippers in space, too.
A nice feel good story!❤
I mean most of the time there is a need for compensation... but not everything needs compensation. Some things need to be done regardless... just because of the principle of it and as a example.
Righteous living is its own reward.
Great job to the Author! Made me cry!
This is real creativity.
Amazing story! It had me on a roller coaster of emotions!
all right who hired the onion cutting nijas to "attack" me? 😭
That gave me the warm fuzzies. I want more like that one.
One of my all time favorites from HFY
28:03 that "mommy" lol😂
I hope she meets Gib again.
Goddamit, this one had me in actual tears. Thank you!
Great Story ! Nail-biting in parts . Sounds like The Delorian are basically Betazoids .
I loved this story SO MUCH
that was a very fast 30 minutes. Very nice story.
I mean we come to the conclusion that Slacery is bad like two centuries ago. And I sure as hell want to keep it that way. We have to better our current situation, as it is not perfect itself. But I believe we will rise above any kind of slavery, hidden in technicalities or not. Slavery shall be ridden by the Human race in the future. And I remain optimistic we can do it.
And should we enter the cosmos as the only ones who feel that way… The slavers of galaxy will learn to fear the legacy of John Brown, the enslaved will consider him a prophet.
my fookin eye have leaked all the way though this. I hope this become a series where humans help these peoples and they give back and enhance our race with there gifts.......
great story thanks for narrating it and posting it.
Wow! A very powerful story
The slavers messed with three women and a child. QED. "By whatever means necessary" orders are issued to a bunch of VERY protective marines. And two more people are pack bonded with humans (if they weren't already).
Me I like fun a netnarrator story at work
Also me: trying my best not to cry in front of costumers; yay fun stories at work
Thank you for the reading
you come to human territory you are one of us till you leave
Damn fine story. Good job!
I've never heard the Narrator say "mummy!" before today and am not quite sure what to do with the knowledge of this sound
Towards the end I was reminded of the song’Hello World” by Lady Antebellum.
I bet its because we have pets
Such a heart warming story!
I sincerely hope we all know we only act this way for "our own". If not, study "in group and out group". It's very important that we all make the effort to recognize those not like us as still our own, and more so to raise our children that way.
These humans clearly are good people, meaning their definition is very inclusive. I suspect slavers are "out group".
Humans go the extra mile for hot aliens.
There is no super like button... Why?
