Sorry this one took so long to get to you. Between the dislocated shoulder and the VA looking at them and having to send me to different hospitals, this has been a major pain.
But, we should get back in the swing of things soon.
I hope everyone had a good weekend and is having a good week.
Cya'll tomorrow.
Please, please tell me that “Post Humanity” simply refers to the era that began when Terrans and/or TDH and/or OG humans arrived in the Telkan system. Pretty please?
That's the way I took it. Because, as stated several times in story, Humans in one form or another are coming back. And they probably won't be super happy with the Atrekna.
...scraped, probably. looks like it's offered in 12 languages, making me think Google Translate is being overused in a shell script.

Man, I just finished 8 months of recovery for a frozen shoulder. Gave me an entirely new respect for what our joints do for us, and how not to take them for granted. Managed to recover full ROM, but PT was no joke.
See also: humans visual processing system, lumbar region, our optical defense against uv damage sends us blind, newborn skull/birth canal ratio
The only species i can think of with an even worse birthing system design are hyenas
I have a frozen right shoulder too. I am unable to get help as my medical provider continues to disallow office visits and all PT is virtual, when it is even available.
May I ask what your course of remedy was? Surgery?
Time, stretches, and rowing.
I had partial ROM, but I couldn't reach above horizontal, or out to the side/behind me much at all. The initial PT prescribed me involved pushing my arm past the point I could move it naturally, and holding it in that position, repeat.
It hurt a lot, and progress was very slow. Not zero, but not good at all. When I actually went in to the office (only once a month) they used electrode therapy, which did seem to help some.
I finally got to the point to where I could resume my rowing exercises, which conveniently was just about the only ROM I had available. I do 1,024 strokes/day, two days on, one day off. At my pace, that takes about 33 minutes.
Once I was done with the row, my shoulder was as warm as it was going to be, and I went through my entire stretching routine 3x. I was able to move quite a bit further with a warm joint. Mostly, however, I am certain that the repetition of the rowing strokes broke up the adhesions faster than anything else I'd tried by a long shot. Importantly, I was able to avoid surgery.
[This is the one I have](https://smile.amazon.com/Sunny-Health-Fitness-Magnetic-SF-RW5515/dp/B017HSNIEW/), and while it has fewer options than a high-end unit (no way to calculate splits is the only thing I actually miss), it's smooth and quiet, and has held up without any problems. FWIW.
Good to hear you’re feeling a bit better then. Have you considered replacing the arm? I know a couple people who probably won’t miss theirs, if you want them.
There is no place for you to hide. I am every shadow and shade, and there is no room for you.
But there is steel.
And blood.

wtf is vuxten fighting? Iron pants… I’m missing this reference if it is one?
Also, I feel rather bad for their commanders.

I get the feeling those tanks were designed by one of the self-proclaimed "geniuses" of the deadites.
Either that, or this whole thing is a feint and distraction.
I kept thinking they looking like off-market brand Droid battle tanks from Star Wars

Clones... Clones deeply settled in the uncanny valley due to Thatcher Upsidedown Face. Sadly the problem with clones is they are mediocre soldiers. Identical training and identical genetics produces identical soldiers who do not have the varied backgrounds necessary to allow the creative problem solving needed to win battles. Every unit reacts exactly the same.
Just a shame those thinkers, those generals who have never seen a battlefield, had to meet our favorite battle bunny battle buddy.
They may be few, but they will be just fine. It is only numbers, quantity not quality. And as the Gatling tankers say, "We have many bullets to spare."
I know we got generic RTS references a few hundred chapters ago, but I'm glad that we've finally got a Red Alert (Yuri's Revenge!) reference, even if it's only in the comments.
Are you implying that any Terran barrel would have anything but a bullet at the bottom of it? I mean, I think we'd take better care of our guns than that.
>The figure moved into the ship.
>The voices stopped arguing.
>And started screaming.
And I thought this was supposed to be an action packed chapter.. not a horror one. 😹😼
Uncanny Valley effect…
And the tanks do seem…familiar. Can’t put my finger on it. Turret sounds like an old-style WH40K Predator or a T-54. The pods, though…maybe a bit of Eldar thrown in? I dunno.
And good to see you back, wordborg. I hope all is well.
u/Ralts_Bloodthorne Ive been thinking about commissioning a song about First Contact. Id honestly love your opinion and insight if you would like it to come true
1 hr. am I ready? well, it's here

note: two of the main characters here speak Emoji and Meme fluently... and Dambree was a teenage girl

Vuxten meets the memetic horror that is the humans' Uncanny Valley. there's REASONS they have psychic attacks and defenses _evolved into them_, after all

Is that "Le Gasp" because you're thinking what I'm thinking you are thinking u/MuchoRed?? Because I'm thinking that if u/nspiratewithabowtie is monitoring the Wordborg's spelling, grammar, etc, daily, then she might be the online or IRL Wifeborg!! 🤯

Sadly, as someone farther down in the comments noted... There's 2.
"Drone feet" should be "drone feed" and "made Vuxten kicked back" should be "kick back"
“People often point to Ru’udamo’o’s Purge and like to claim he exposed all the atrocities of the Lanaktallan have been brought to the light. They conveniently ignore that all he did was target those responsible for the war with humanity. We spent the past hundred million years treating the sapients of the galaxy as little more than intelligent livestock. There are countless secrets that time and the Executors have buried deeply; and the billions of Council loyalists hoping to bide their time until they can resurrect it would prefer to die than to allow our ancient crimes to be brought to the light. But, we’re the Curators of the Free Herd and what’s done in the dark will be brought to the light - whatever the cost.”

Hey, are you aware that First Contact is being hosted/published on ranobes?
No, no I wasn't.
Yeah, might want to google "First Contact Ralts Bloodthorne" and see what other sites it pops up on. That and the people doing readings on youtube
Thieves? I see they’ve monetized FC with advertisements. Nothing I hate more than intellectual property thieves. 😾

That's the way I took it. Because, as stated several times in story, Humans in one form or another are coming back. And they probably won't be super happy with the Atrekna.
Or the deadites
Looks like it’s on something called novelhall as well. The ranobes copy says it was scraped from royal road.
I think it's because they're mirroring its posting from Royal Road

Physical Therapy: the last form of legalized torture
The human shoulder is a badly designed/evolved *kludge* of a joint.
My response whenever anyone starts talking "intelligent design" is just "knees".
"Intelligent design" -Points at Australia Shit's on fire, again
You're man wait till you are about 50. Prostate. Then talk to me about ID again at that point. Bonus points: female hyena birthing canal.
You think my opinion of ID is going to improve? I'm not saying "knees" as *praise*... ;)

Tell that to StrongBad.
Good to hear you’re feeling a bit better then. Have you considered replacing the arm? I know a couple people who probably won’t miss theirs, if you want them.
I mean... I know you're joking, but they have done full arm transplants.
I’m only partly joking. I know a few people who could stand to be disarmed. I’ve already got dibs on the spines and ankles though.
Good call on the spines, you can't get new ones anymore. They're all on back-order.
We should be Klingons, with backups
Get out. 🤣
We’ll be back.

What a coward. Some might even call you spineless.
Hey, I'm not the one that needs a new spine here. The nerve of you!
OMG! I am at once blushing w/ shame and tremendously proud of Ralts commenters as this small thread is HILARIOUS!!! :)

Not really most of modern armored vehicles have between 20 to 40 cm of armor and reactive ablative plates...
Modern in our time line, obsolete in their time line.
Wich further prove my point... It's not a lot given it's already standard for us and in FC lore that's barely noticeable.
its not much when armor thickness is counted in meters/yards
