If their youth turn into “mentally disturbed monsters” without loving care, does that mean they become that much more monstrous than adult Stribs are now? Or does it possibly mean they might develop moral sensibility with functioning consciences – something that would seem to be monstrous and abnormal if now found in adult Stribs?
I think it means that current stribs didn’t get loving care.
We’ve met the previous generation and they were garbage. So maybe stribs with decent parentage would actually be worthwhile beings.
Stribs, Str’eebs, who is counting?
I, for one, find it impossible to generate even one scintilla of a scrap of a feeling of empathy for those stribs. May their end be horrifying, prolonged, yet unbloody.
May they fall through a hole in space, and end up in an episode of Happy Tree Friends. The bloodiest kid’s show I know of.
Without Science, all we left are these two: Ignorance and Incompetence.
Well struck, good Efogoto! Well struck!
Better start hugging your kids like your lives depend on it.
That thought obviously hasn’t occurred to them.
Ah, sweet karma! Now, if there was just a way to transport all the other Stribs inside the shield to trapped there as well and get those last few humans out.
I lost track. How many humans volunteered to stay behind? What is the current human to puppy ratio?
Three stayed to be Strib nannies.
The other five are aboard with Aitana, Chiphu, Tesfay, and Captain Ruddock.
So a whole lotta Stribs and v-e-r-y few humans.
Ya know Chris… you absolutely could leave these guys here, then bring them back down the road in a “Wrath of Khan” styled story thread.
Purview…
Being forced to suffer the full consequences of your own actions?
Pretty sure that counts as “cruel and unusual”.
Could say they’ve been stribbed of all hope…
What a dilemma. Actually touch your own offspring and prevent them from becoming the monsters you already are. Or… let them monster out, and pay a price in flesh and suffering such as no Dante could ever imagine.
Either fate seems to me to be what these sons of b—- What? I can’t use THAT word here? How about ‘beeches’? Yeah, let these sons of beeches sprout, see what comes of it.
They’re dog people. The females literally are that word.
So what happened to the other Stribs? Are they dead too?
The other Stribs are off-planet fighting the GOB and other factions.
Meanwhile, there is a battle going on out there somewhere…
One item they dare not say out loud is being the ones to take care of their offspring. I wonder what they were like when they had normal families?
They have created an abnormal situation, and this is what it does to them.
The engineered this and now it has backfired on them. They forgot what they did in the past and is destroying their very civilization.
Chesterton warned about forgetting the fundamentals of society. The Strib have.
I think that the proper response to “we are going to have to take care of our own offspring” is “That’s crazy talk.”.
