  1. Under those circumstances, after 20 years, humanity will have at least 15 billion soldiers more. If resources and personnel from the aliens can be manufactored into fleets fast enough to create largely autonomous single person crafts with vast amount of nukes and sllep bombs… This will become a hunt, rather than existential threat

  2. I enjoyed this story very much. I can tell the author sweated blood to keep it as short as it was, it could have been a novel.

    Two thots: if the blob fed on planets with life, why did it gain an advantage when it engulfed the moon? Wouldn't that have sapped energy from it? Also, how does a probe outside a spaceship scan the brains of humans inside? But the hfy quotient was too high on this one to mind such details too much.

  3. Wow! After listening to so many AI broken stories… this was a great one! Minus 1 point for the doubling up of almost the same sentence in the middle of the story… but this story actually had a beginning, middle and understandable end! It had continuity, character development, story telling skills far better than any of the AI stories I've heard!

  4. hmm ,but with that complexity of intelligence and self modification capabilities should not the swarm started to track the transmissions from those deep space probes back to the supposed 'dead' planets and got ..curious ? then agen , maby it was something like entangled or 'split' particles used for the remote control that not left any 'particle traces'

    though also , considering its not just a planet but a galaxy extinction situation having lost a couple of billions when hearing it more or lees was a bio version of the 'grey goo' scenario should have made the general rather go ''oh we 'only' lost a couple billions' …and then pause the conversation to quickly inform all surviving scientists in those fields and governments so that the short term drafting of every able bodied person for combat and every baseline cognitive stable person for production should be extended indefinitely and a civilization wide swift information dispersion arranged for all to understand why

    , as the general return to the first alien contact diplomacy while others start design plans for generation ships and either meteor canons or flat out solar nova inducing catalyst warheads all while every factory not used to re-arm the current forces start supply a rapid reconstruction and expansion of the lunar base , but with equall frenzy also the deployment of armada of stellar raw resource harvesting and the foundries and orbital dry docks needed to build self sufficient migration war fleets to send out both as 'survival seeds' and also as vanguards of those tactical system strike generation ships

    before said general also bring news at least one species civilization where ready to form a pact of mutual survival and extermination with a complete share of all its assets and manpower how ever humans see wish to use it for the war doctrines and species quirks that provided the only victory ever vs the bio swarm
