humans are so dense by Gaz 1121 gett was in deep trouble what in the empress's name were you thinking private shouted the captain do you have the slightest idea what you've done what your stupid actions might lead to sir I Girt began shut up roared Captain hung spittle flying from his mandibles I haven't finished yelling at you yet Captain h consciously started cleaning his antenna in the silence a sure sign that he was stressed if the humans even think this happened deliberately we may lose their trust the captain mused the trade and work alliance between
the humans and the ankin was one of our most significant events in the last 6 months we may be the strongest creatures on our planet but these humans make us appear weaker than children the progress made in just the last couple of months trading the ankin's technology and knowledge for the human's immense strength endurance and ability to work in environments that his own people would need protection suits just to stay alive let alone work had increased their expansion on other worlds tremendously once you include suits food Fuel and transports to move ankin resource teams around
the humans were a laughably cheap alternative noticing he hadn't spoken in a while the captain turned to Garrett explain yourself start from the beginning taking a steadying breath Garrett began talking one hour earlier I in my opinion these humans are overrated oh really private well I guess it's good that your opinion doesn't mean spinning around so fast he nearly snapped an antenna private Garrett realized his transport sergeant shren was stood behind him and heard everything he said sir I'm sorry I was just Shan chuckled relax private relax however I'm assuming this is your first time
working with humans I'll deny it if you tell anyone but when I first met them I thought the same thing about humans then I watched one lift most of a building that had collapsed on a family sir a building as an asterisk asterisk an entire bu building yes private a building you know four walls Windows a roof that's just not possible sir exclaimed Garrett the weight alone would have snapped an ankin in half even if they possess the strength You couldn't possibly have seen are you suggesting I'm a liar Private shr's Eyes went hard immediately
backstepping Garrett blurted out no sir no no no that's not so what if I'm not a liar am I a drunk am I too old to realize what I'm seeing no sir that's not what I'm suggesting I promise gett concerned he would be transferred on his first day frantically searched for a way to end this Apocalypse of a conversation until he noticed the mirth creeping into his superior's expression roaring with laughter the sergeant plated his subordinate calm down private if I hadn't seen it myself I would say the same thing In fairness it wasn't the
whole building some of the bottom walls had crumbled the sant's face suddenly went serious he saved that family's life there was no time to dig them out I could hear the little girl crying the father consoling her he knew he knew his family would die we couldn't reach them in time then the human just walked over and lifted the entire thing that family lived and I stood whatever our alliance with the humans costs us it's a bargain at twice the price still though Garrett said a building suddenly the radio came to life Sergeant come in
shren grabbed the radio yeah I hear you private we've just sent the second to last load back one more and we're done yeah I see it now that's going to be it for this transport it's full now that means the last transport will haul the last load and the resource Crews up to the ship confirmed sir these humans are amazing it would have taken us weeks to move this much on our own Chan laughed into the radio confirmed private I'm going to take this transport up can't wait to get out of these Enviro suits I'm
leaving you to get this last load and our people up Sir The Voice acknowledged bard the transport shran turned back to Garrett even if they weren't as strong as they were they can work without these damn suits he said as the door closed 10 minutes later get those straps tightened private lzy barked I want to be on the ship before I die of old age as he helped get to the workers gear stowed GT noticed the humans just Milling around outside waiting approaching lzy he got his attention what's with the humans they planning on living
here he said as one sat down seemingly relaxing on the surface of a planet that his kind couldn't even set foot on without an environmental survival suit something's up with their transport ship they are going to be stuck here a couple hours while a replacement can be prepped we could give them a lift the human Cruiser is right next to us and the cargo hold has plenty of space left no lzy said it interferes with their grav harnesses newer ships are fine but these transports are old models I doubt the humans even know it messes
with their Tech somehow grav harness looking at the humans gett noticed they all had belts on with a glowing device in the center wait that's it that's the secret to their strength the sergeant was talking like they were monsters don't know don't care lzy said now hurry up and get everything tight I want to go hang on exclaimed Garrett if all the harness does is let them lift heavy stuff let's just help them it's not like they're carrying anything now right lzy gave a frustrated sigh look if you want to ask then ask but in
5 minutes we're leaving this Rock With or Without You Garrett rushed over to the humans and seeing him approach they Rose to their feet heard you guys are a bit stuck want to lift the lead human's eyes widened yeah definitely you got space for us sure said Girt you'll need to stay in the cargo hold however the rest of the transport has air for my kind that's fine the human said beat sitting here for hours turning to his Crew He barked grab your gear the ants are giving us a ride once everything was secured the
doors closed as the engines warmed up gett who elected to stay in the hold to keep the humans company in a suit obviously noticed one of the crew still had her pack on you might want to remove that pack the engines will interfere with your gravity belts and I'm not sure how heavy that bag really is suddenly all attention was directed at him what do you mean the female human said with a nervous smile your ships have never bothered our Tech before and this isn't for our bags it's an older model of transport ship what
do you mean it's not for your bags what else would they be for but to make the things you carry lighter as one the humans looked at each other then at the deck of the ship just then the engines fully engaged and the little lights went out on the grab harnesses was all the humans managed to get out before the plating under them squealed groaned and then gave away completely ripping through a meter of plating wires and Hull as they fell back to the surface of the planet alarms blared throughout the ship as it registered
the massive Hull breach and the engines powered down creeping up to the new hole Garrett was extremely glad the bulkheads were closed as the atmosphere of the planet would have flooded the ship and killed anyone not wearing a suit looking down at the jumbled pile of Limbs on the surface Garrett was hopeful there didn't seem to be any injuries now the engines were off he could see the grab harnesses were working once again suddenly he realized If the gravity Tech was for the things the humans could carry it would be on their bags the humans
really were strong enough to lift a house but that strength came with a cost muscle density the grab harnesses didn't make them stronger it made them lighter light enough that their steps didn't shred through deck plate that had never felt the weight of the monsters known as humans that's why humans weren't supposed to be on Old generation ankin ships and he' done it anyway I'm in deep trouble said Garrett
