A decent premise with potential, but terribly flawed in it's execution. The sanctuary status and the guardian were pointless, since there were no consequences for repeatedly breaking the boundary and ignoring all warnings. Even after invading the moon, they were simply escorted away like children who were being nosy.
To guardians, that's what they are. For such an ancient and superior race, punishing someone out of curiosity would be stupid and would only create more careless and arrogant "spectators". When you get older and more experienced you don't just forbid kids from trying to figure things out, you teach them how to do it safely, how to have limits when necessary and using a necessary amount of freedom and information to start it on their own. In that case, don't interfere with any of the galaxy's biological treasures. Learn how to do it first. You are not taking into account how many centuries this status has existed, how many were destroyed for it to exist and how long it took for the rest of the galaxy to take a “step” towards the diplomatic approach.
@@sidineybottega1837 Your explanation would be reasonable if they were actual children with the same naivety, but they aren't and the guardians aren't parents. The fear of knowing no one returns from the place worked as protection for so long that a galactic empire forgot why it was off limits, so the argument of killing trespassers would bring more doesn't really work. On the other hand, the curiosity for meeting new species or discovering potentially advanced or ancient tech, while knowing that they would only be escorted away, would inspire countless to try their luck. Low risk, high reward. I stand by my original judgement, but I appreciate the well worded argument.
ehm, Oort cloud is 10.000-150.000 AU away from the sun, distance between center of the Sun and Earth = 1 AU. Pluto is only 39 AU away.... so if they where mining in the Oort Cloud, they never even had to go into the solar system, and at such a distance they could have done a full scale war and nothing would be seen unless one KNOWS where and put their instruments on it. But even then, in such a huge sphere, it's impossible to find the tiny stuff there going on. They never even had to get close to any planet. Why does nobody even do RESEARCH into the objects of their stories...
Maybe what they regard as part of the sol system is larger then what we would consider as part of the solution system. Or maybe the gaurdians wanted the space around earth mostly untouched for who knows what reasons. But you make a good point
@@davidbate6346 yeap, still FTL, for Pluto to earth is more than 5.25 hours for light to travel. And that is in closest orbital distance... that can extend to about 5.5 , (its 8 min 20 sec from sun to earth adding 16 minutes.. all them stories treat those planets to be perfectly in line towards earth... they are most of times NOT in any form of alignment
Other Alternate ending yes humans are the guardians and that all life in the galaxy came from Earth 🌍. They seeded life and then watched as their creations became the empire.
Yes it is a disjointed and uneven story .The fleet could have stopped the miners well away from earth. Evidently the writer either doesn't know astronomy or willfully ignored it to advance their story.
This story is incredibly disjointed - almost to the point where I think the author made little effort... There are other channels... Improve or be abandoned.
