What's on Your Mind

Why? Are they short of protein?

I certainly hope so. Humans need to be moved to a human protection sanctuary on some megastructure in space before we destroy ourselves. We'll only take out every other species on Earth if they don't (except for maybe cockroaches, of course), so even if aliens have a very libertarian, laissez-faire, approach to other lifeforms, its only fair humans get moved to the intergalactic version of the straightjacket. I'm hoping it'll they'll move us to something akin to the "Culture" from Iain Banks's Culture Series, maybe we'll get plopped on some giant ringworld or planet-sized mega-ship. The aliens will strip us of all our weapons, have their swarms of drones stuff whatever we need down our gullets, and get one hell of a drone spanking whenever we misbehave.
