The Lektia easily conquered Earth, after all humanity barely had any advanced weapons and no fleet upon which to defend themselves.\u00a0 The primitive weapons which humans used were no match for the technology upon which the Lektia brought to the battlefield.<\/p>\n

Yes, it was agreed that humanity did adapt quickly, but the gap was too large.\u00a0 Now with the established garrisons all over the planet they finally had control over this world and its resources.<\/p>\n

Sure, there had been an uproar in the Galactic Council, but nothing they couldn\u2019t handle.\u00a0 If one of the other races wanted to do something about it, they would find themselves facing a Lektia battlefleet, something no other race wanted to do.<\/p>\n

Yet the first signs of problems stated to arise as complaints came from soldiers stationed on Earth.<\/p>\n

It started simple enough.\u00a0 Requests for pest control as small creatures started to infest the buildings.\u00a0 One company of soldiers spent the entire night fighting a creature that seemed to keep coming back to life after being squished.\u00a0 It landed onto two soldiers faces during the night, both undergoing mental rehab over the ordeal.<\/p>\n

When the humans were asked about it, they simply replied, oh, it was a cockroach.\u00a0 Yeah, if you see one know there are many more hiding in the walls.<\/p>\n

Well, that didn\u2019t sit well the soldiers.\u00a0 When asked how to eliminate them, they replied you don\u2019t.\u00a0 They said in a serious tone that only cockroaches would survive a nuclear war.<\/p>\n

Another company has begun to refuse to do drills outside.\u00a0 Not after one solider suffered horrendous injuries suffered upon stepping on a pile of reddish dirt in a pile.\u00a0 Only quick thinking from the medical staff saved the soldier\u2019s life.\u00a0 But the quickness of the assault, and the fact these mounds are everywhere have terrorized the soldiers.<\/p>\n

We asked the humans about this again.\u00a0 Fire ants they replied.\u00a0 Apparently they are highly aggressive when stepped on.\u00a0 To demonstrate the human tapped his foot on the mound and a hundreds of little creatures emerged.<\/p>\n

When this company learned of cockroaches, they mutinied.\u00a0 It seems Texas isn\u2019t a place to have garrisons.<\/p>\n

In another place, it wasn\u2019t the animals, but weather.\u00a0 This garrison base was hit with such severe storms that no soldier dared leave.\u00a0 The lightning and thunder which accompanied the rain was frightening.\u00a0 We learned that humans think of these as \u2018afternoon\u2019 thundershowers.\u00a0 One then mentioned there wasn\u2019t even a tornado.<\/p>\n

What is that you ask?\u00a0 One of god\u2019s fingers coming down to the planet\u2019s surface to spite you.\u00a0 Even most humans run from this, unless you\u2019re crazy and chase them.\u00a0 We never understood how some humans are so brain damaged that they chase such things.<\/p>\n

But lightning and hail, hail I said, which are normal for these storms.\u00a0 And these humans said our base looks like a trailer home and laughed.\u00a0 We still don\u2019t get that one, their sense of humor is, odd.<\/p>\n

This was a place called Oklahoma.<\/p>\n

Another garrison expressed their desire to be transferred.\u00a0 Upon wondering we were confused.\u00a0 The humans there are actually very nice.\u00a0 But it appears there is something called earthquakes where the ground moves according to tectonic plate movement.<\/p>\n

Their planet acts as if its alive?<\/p>\n

The ground moves and shakes and the humans there pause, then go right back to what they were doing.\u00a0 How?<\/p>\n

We lost all our garrisons in a country called Japan due to this.<\/p>\n

And this doesn\u2019t include their volcanoes.\u00a0 Yes, volcanoes on their planet.\u00a0 The garrison in Sicily just up and abandoned their post when a volcano called Etna erupted during the night.\u00a0 The humans just watched saying this was minor and not worthy of anything but a video online.<\/p>\n

The troops and commanders garrisoned all over the planet are beginning to think there is something wrong with these humans.\u00a0 They treat us nicely despite having taken over, yet their planet wishes to kill all of us.\u00a0 The humans just laugh and joke about it, joke about it!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get us started on Australia, that\u2019s its own separate hellhole.<\/p>\n

The recommendation is we abandon Earth to the humans and control the space docks in orbit.<\/p>\n

Oh yeah, heavy inspections for any ship leaving.\u00a0 We don\u2019t need any of those creatures like fire ants leaving that planet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
