jnqaotb | jnq2d5j | [WP] For 10 long years war has raged while the Galactic Committee held a tight leash on the humans; stating "We do things a certain way". Now, with the enemy closing in, the leash comes off. | *This isn't how war is meant to be waged.*
No, this is... dishonourable. Foul. *Deplorable*. Conduct that should be relegated to textbook examples, not the field!

The Committee stated.
The Committee was made of every known species, each having an equal say in the actions of the Federation. Humanity, new to the stage, simply watched as the Committee sent out a war fleet to kill the bugs.
It failed.

jwng63k | jwmgck8 | [WP] You partner in crime has pulled a gun on you. "The truth is, the game was rigged from the start." You know that very well, mostly because you did all the rigging. | You'd think there'd be some honour among thieves, but he looked *far too* smug with that gun pointed at me. Too much for him not to be enjoying this.

I blurt out, raising my hands into the air as quickly and cleanly as I can. Fortunately I was only carrying a small box of valuables that won't break from simply being dropped.

j2q09kt | j2o761r | [WP] Your job description: 1) Sit in an empty room with a red button for 8 hours a day. 2) NEVER press the red button, no matter what happens. 3) Do not talk to anyone about the job. After many uneventful years, your phone rings and a stern, slightly panicked voice says: „Press the button. NOW!!“ | I sat there, as I had been doing for 8 hours a day for as long as I can remember.
The button. It was ominous, and glowed a bright red.
Through these days, I wondered.
What did it do?
Launch nuclear missiles?
Open a door to another universe?
Nothing?

Unfortunately for your kidnappers, your SO is a member of the Greek pantheon. | Chains clanking, manacles restraining my hands against the back wall. My eyes are dark, covered by a blindfold, but I know my kidnappers are standing nearby, guarding me. I want to run, want to get away, but I know it's impossible.

lsyadwf | lsy35ej | [WP] When the villain asked you how you didn't go insane from the constant evil thoughts they were whispering in the back of you mind, you were not sure how to explain that this is your normal state of mind and you didn't even notice anything had changed. | There’s this thing people do when they think they’re being clever. A kind of tick. A twitch at the corner of their lip, a tightening of the eye, like they’re waiting to see if you’ll react, if you’ll flinch, if you’ll fold under what they think is a cleverness that’ll flatten you. Like a blade so sharp you don’t know y... | Gryfus laughed as the villainous Renn finished their query.

One of you is artificial. Determine which is which. The real person gets to go free." You can't remember anything before this room. | As I sat up straight, I feel something in my neck click and snap. Something metallic. The soft whir of servoes can be heard as I raise a hand to my head to stroke my hair.
*Fuck.* *I'm the robot.*
I'm about to resign myself to my fate when I see something about my counterpart in the chair across from me. Maybe it's j... | I look over to the man sitting across from me. Nothing is memorable or stands out. I still recall basic knowledge and understanding of concepts, but no memories of my past. I know my name is Michael. Michael… Stevens? I think?

j4sthcq | j4rt3qx | [WP] When humanity enters the galactic stage we find that our history of violence is quite unusual, but not because we wreaked unimaginable death and destruction upon each other, but rather because we stopped eventually. | The Etren grinned at me. It was unsettling. That was a really scary set of teeth. "How reliable are those histories really?"
I stopped and actually considered the question carefully. The diplomatic orientation package had emphasized that the Etren were generally easy to get along with, but that one should always put... | When humanity enters the galactic stage, we find that our history of violence is quite unusual, but not because we wreaked unimaginable death and destruction upon each other, but rather because we stopped eventually.

jtziv71 | jtzimln | [WP] You used to be the scourge of kingdoms, the reaper of heroes and the mere mention of your name scared even the toughest of them. But today no one remembers you and you are fine with that. You have lived in peace ever since until one day a stranger approaches you and calls you by your true name. | "Fluffles! The Devourer of Gods! I have come for you!" A powerful voice rang out through the deep dark caverns. A soft undertone sounded reminding me many female adventurers who came to face me. How long has it been that I've slumbered and rested. How long have I been alone on this continent that even the gods did not ... | ##Human Nature

Poseidon always bragging about his kills, Zeus throwing lightning, Odin's Ragnarok, it's all a joke. They know nothing of what it means to take a soul. The cost for all involved.
