I get what the Admiral is saying; myself, I don't think I have the fortitude to grin if I'm set on fire. But that's just me. This was an awesome story! Well done, past you!
This is true. If I had to choose between the two, I suppose I'd go with instant vaporization (assuming it was instant) over getting sucked into the endless void of space. Tough choices, though.
Damn, Hrakknites... Hrakknians...the people of Hrakkn don't mess around.
I think the Admiral could identify with "The Blunder Boys" TM.
The "desperate foe" he is talking about is me losing at chess to my dad, 100%.
I gotta figure out the demonyms for Hrakkn 😂

Presumably a moment later he was sucked, screaming, into the vacuum of space but that's less dignified. Thank you very much!

Ok this was unexpected?? Classic philosophical Scoot tho.
Unpacked my books recently and this old thing was in there and i shouldda been workin but instead did this 😂 Scoot was a ponderer even back then!
You were always gonna swim the tiber sooner later lol 😂
Love that you shared this! The idea of a planet "sitting submissively" is an interesting one...
I KNEW I RECOGNIZED THAT NAME.
The lore has changed since this was written but the…idea? Underlying these folks have not!
