[36 / 11 / ?]
Wrote a little HFY story, hope you enjoy. Listen to the tale of how we earned our downfall, my children, and heed the warnings that lie within. Tonight, we sit around a smokey fire, eating scraps of meat and roots. It is a life we have grown accustomed to, but this is not the way things once were. Not long ago, within the span of my grandfather's memory, we roamed the stars. We, the T'skag were a strong and mighty people. The abandoned cities in the distance shone with light that could be seen from any point on our world. Our people cared not for hunger or sickness, as these things were but nightmares long past. We had ships as long as the Great Northern Crag, and each could hold an entire army. With these ships, we ruled many of the stars you see above you. We were an adventurous people, and our entire world was dedicated to the discovery of new obstacles to conquer.

As we moved from star to star, we found new planets. Most of them were barren rocks, others had plants and animals, all were exploited for everything useful they held. With every planet, we built more ships and cities. We made whole new worlds to call home for our people. From time to time, we found the goal of every T'skag, and that is Battle. Many of the stars above us were once ruled by other peoples. We took what we needed from their worlds, and when they resisted we would unleash our armies and machines of war against them. Every civilization we met either became a new tool for us to wield, or perished. No race could withstand our might, and within a dozen generations our empire was as vast as the night sky.

Then, floating around a typical star, we found our most useful tool yet. We found the Humans. When our two peoples first encountered each other, the Humans offered us peace, and it is said that they were even respectful of our strength. In the beginning, we greeted them with open arms, but in the end we used those arms to crush them. That war with the humans was a topic of much discussion throughout our empire, as the Humans had cunning and resolve, and the ways of war seemed to be rich in their blood. Despite having no match for our technology, or our numbers, they fought without hesitation. In the end, despite their ways, they were doomed to failure.

Quoted By:
Some said that the Humans were too dangerous to be kept as slaves, but powerful people in our empire saw their usefulness. They could live on land or sea, desert or glacier, and thrived in any circumstance. They had short lives, but they bred like cattle. They were intelligent, though not as advanced as other races we had encountered. They seemed to be the perfect tool for us to use, and we spent years gathering as many of those tools as we could. The entire surface of their home world became a war zone as we captured them a handful at a time, and as they resisted. Capturing them without losing your life became an honorable sport among our warriors, and being sent to the Human planet was a prize worth fighting a hundred battles for. The Humans resisted like no other we had seen before, and it was almost a shame for us to conquer such an opponent... but conquer them we did.

Quoted By:
In the end, we pulled as many of them as possible from the ashes of their world. We sent them to our mines and to our farms and to our factories, and at first it was difficult to deal with their fighting spirit. They resisted forced labor, they resisted breeding programs, they resisted re-education, they resisted everything. Fortunately, one thing the T'skag had learned on our journey through the stars was patience. After a mere three generations of Humans, they had become accustomed to their new life as our tools. We had entire worlds where they were farmed and taught how to work and build and meet our every need. Within a few more generations, when the memories of their war with us were but a faint whisper to them, they even began to show loyalty to us.

Quoted By:
The Humans were now as much pets as they were slaves. They walked freely within our ships, performing tasks and maintaining critical systems. They obeyed us like dogs, and saw us as their caring masters. This continued for many, many years, and the Humans became an almost essential part of our lives. Circumstances changed rather quickly for us after an encounter that no T'skag ever expected to happen. When we had culled every human we could find on their home world, we had bombed the planet's surface till nothing but dust remained on every continent. Unknown to us, the Humans were more tenacious than we could possibly imagine. A scant few had survived underground, and on hidden mining colonies across their solar system. For generations, the surviving Humans scratched together an existence around that star, attempting to rebuild their lives. As I said before, they breed like cattle, and their numbers grew steadily. They devoted their lives to revenge at all costs. Bit by bit, they rebuilt their world. It was nothing compared to what it once was, but it was definitely more than the dust that we had left.

Quoted By:
My children, the humans built a ship. It was patched together from abandoned bits of broken ships that we had left floating in black space, both ours and theirs. The ship had more firepower than it did life support, and it barely functioned, but barely was enough for them. They launched the hulking mass right for the heart of our empire. It took years for the near derelict vessel to encounter one of our ships. At first, our engineers did not know what to make of it. The familiarity of the scraps of T'skag ships combined with the patchwork of alien hull was baffling. In any case, it was headed straight for them and it had weapons, so it was a threat. Our mighty T'Skag ship powered up its weapons, but before they could be fired the guidance systems failed.
temptripfagging !!NBS2EKTKHuQ
Quoted By:
One by one, our critical systems failed, all but communications. It seems that in the process of building their ship, they had learned quite a bit about how our ships worked as well, and had found a way to jam up our internal computers. As our engineers scrambled to find a way to stop the disruption, the communications system was hijacked by the Human ship. Every viewscreen on board went black, and then images began to pour through them like wave of bood, Human blood. The Humans were sending recordings of the destruction of their home world, the slaughter of their race, the brutality of the T'skag, the death of uncountable numbers of their people.
temptripfagging !!NBS2EKTKHuQ
Quoted By:
The entire crew of the ship, T'skag and Human, froze and watched the message that was being sent. The Humans seemed mostly confused, but the T'skag were fearful of the reality that had just been exposed to their tools. Suddenly, the T'skag ship sprung back to life as the jamming signals were blocked. As soon as weapons were operational, the first shots of the second war with the Humans were fired. The Human ship was no match for the torrent of fire that was rained down upon it, and within moments it was cracking apart. As it fell to pieces and burst into flame, the sound of familiar cries and screams crackled over the communications system that was still in Human control. The Humans aboard the T'skal ship knew those cries as their own.
temptripfagging !!NBS2EKTKHuQ
Quoted By:
The remainder of the second war with the Humans was like nothing the T'skag had ever faced. This war came like a wave that hit every T'skag ship, every world we controlled, every place where we had sent the Humans to be our tools. That first ship was easily captured by the Humans inside it, and from there the war spread across our communications channels to every corner of the empire. Within a few days, everything was in flames. The images that began the war became a banner for the Humans, and the screams became a battle cry. We, the mighty T'skag, were defeated in less than one generation. We fought, but the enemy had been brought into every aspect of our life. In the end, our war with the Humans was an utter failure.
temptripfagging !!NBS2EKTKHuQ
Quoted By:
Now, my children, we sit round our fires at night and tell tales of our foolishness. We watch the stars, occasionally seeing the white-hot engines of Human ships passing overhead, reminding us that we have been locked from the skies. The Humans chose not to hunt us to extinction, as we would have done in their position. Instead, we T'skag face a fate far worse than death. We no longer battle, for there is nobody but ourselves and the Humans. We are no longer a great empire, our people scattered across ruined planets, cursed from the stars and guarded by our former slaves. We are no longer a great people. We have been forced to relive the last days of the Human home world, facing roving packs of Humans who hunt us like beasts, but never kill enough of us to prevent our numbers from growing again. We earned this curse, and till the end of days the Humans will hold that curse over us. end

>>8051328 Thank you, kind sir.
I think I'll take requests for a story to write tomorrow, it's my day off so I'll have plenty of time. So, /x/, what kind of story do you want?
COWBOY
>>8051355 WHAT ABOUT-
What if the earth was actually hollow, And that it had its own environment just like ours, But the people inside of earth were aware of us as we are of them.
So there could be like this whole story about how our civilization was introduced to theirs and vis-versa, And then we share technology and war could break out and all that good stuff.
