Plus, how are we going to live with ourselves if we don't do something. I would guarantee every member of the crew was thinking about their kids and of them being in this situation. A whole sentient species wiped out by psychos if we don't act. Death is preferable to living with that. At that point all you can do is fire the engines up and turn to your crew and say, "Helm, Interception course.."

There is a reason most Captains REALLY like some weapons on board. It’s a shame most foreign ports do not allow ships to have defensive weapons. Even if secured in locked cabinets, w/ a port padlock in addition to ship lock. A semi auto 308 might cause small boats from trying to board. But Ma Deuce would really cause consideration

It sounds as if even though the Taurians are not people with a martial mindset, they are relatively technologically advanced, at least compared to humans. A fitting way to return the favor that cost the humans their lives while giving their species a chance at having a life would be to share whatever technology they may have with the humans. After all the humans are friendly towards them, and will have angered the Benedrayans. Who may try to take their frustrations out on the humans. However the humans are a people with a martial mindset and with any advancements they may get would be more able to show any Benedayans what Hapheestus was best known for. He forged the weapons of the Gods.

I like the old format with full screen scrolling text from two years ago better. The old format is easier to read when you don't want to or are not able to hear the narration. I like to read the stories when I'm waiting at the doctor. Can't use headphones or I won't hear when it is my turn and playing it loud is rude and not allowed in the waiting room.
