Caltrops - Mischief Maker's Maker's Mark





	[quote name="Arbit"][quote name="Fullofkittens"][quote name="Arbit"] The biggest thing that annoyed me (besides the ending being obvious as hell and OSC being a humongous douchebag in his foreward): how the fuck did the insect people not realize that humans were sentient? You can't produce and operate spaceships by accident. And why did it require <i>two</i> invasions to figure it out? Why did it require any invasions at all?[/quote] The insects didn't consider that individuals would have any intelligence, because they have a hive mind. Their 'individual' is the whole colony. They didn't think that humans would be really offended unless they blew up Earth, since that's the way they felt about it. [/quote]They came to Earth to colonize it. Are you saying they were going to let the humans live and just wanted to be neighbors? After destroying the human fleet and parking a massive fleet of warships in orbit, presumably?[/quote]
