Captain Corinth: The Galactic Navy Officer Becomes an Adventurer - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - Those Who Are Connected to Humanity

third party spreading humanity in the galaxy... protoculture?

She's trying to thank him sincerely and pray for her fallen comrades, but he just looks like he's thinking "why is she glowing?" Subtle humor in more serious moments is hard to do, but that was well done.

 

[botodopo]

i dont like the fact that hes useless and needs to be told to do everything by an AI

 

[Qwormuli]

Are those names TL jokes, or were they actually like that?

edit: Also, him being told everything by the AI is quite realistic. He's a line officer, probably from some engineering or maintenance branch. Even more, this is someone on a battleship in a space setting. These facts tend to mean that he has very basic training in small arms combat or first aid, as they would be very rarely needed skills on a limited training schedule --probably meaning some BT -stuff he has never revisited. Modern armies (especially conscript ones) would pay arm and leg for a reliable and time efficient method for making such personnel into capable combatants, such as this onboard tutor AI. The only thing throwing a wrench into this is that brainwash trainer, but it's easy to accept that it's not a mainline answer from the possible problems already mentioned.

really digging the lore right now

 

[rtl_ddto]

Okay this is interesting

 

[PotatoZero]

Huh, what does 'evolve independently' mean here? Convergent evolution? Wouldn't that disprove the third-party theory if anything?

 

[DJKenji]

Hmmm this is good

@PotatoZero

There are several possibilities from what I can think of. Largest issue would be on the accuracy of the translation from Japanese, as it could have originally meant something else. But if we take it as it is here:

1) There was evidence of evolution having occurred independently past a certain point. Like, you grab a group of humans and split that group by placing them on different planets. From the time the split occurred, they would evolve independently.

2) Some unknown factor (possibly alien intelligence) terraformed planets and set up some sort of incredibly subtle mechanism that controlled the ecosystem and climate to recreate an almost perfect copy of a template planet. Like, this unknown factor drove the evolution of life to follow 99.99999999% the same path as the other “human” planets. This would mean that the various “human” groups would clearly show having a different genetic ancestry and background, but the unknown factor had created such closely related ecosystems and environments that humans were guaranteed to evolve and become sapient.

 

[ProjectRado]

With this, we can say that he won't be able to use magic?

 

[NEETsoc]

what happened to the dude in the helmet? He looked fine to me

 

[UncleRad]

Pretty gruesome story so far. First his entire platoon's gone. Now she's the sole survivor as well. I don't really like such stories at all. But lemme go read next chapter first...

 

[SunderMInd]

This is an interesting approach to isekai. Also I agree with UncleRad.

 

[Winchan]

He's speaking enchantment table and she's speaking the language of the gods.

Ah, yes, culture.

 

[Opor97]

Dude even the tanned tomboy fighter girl died not a good start

 

[androgynous]

Spock would be sooooo pissed with him, breaching the First Directive like nothing! Even implanting alien technology in her!

@Simpleton Since cutting a wrist is pretty much always depicted as across in fiction, I guess the author didn't think about it that much. I bet it has also saved a lot of lives over the years due to the inefficiency, so "teaching" the wrong way in fiction to youths might not be a bad idea anyway.

why the fuck do you idiots keep holding sci fi to much higher scrutiny that garbage fantasy where people literally make up bullshit and portray physics poorly all the time.
how unfair is this bullshit. this bullshit attitude is just gonna make people write more dogshit fantasy garbage instead of more interesting sci fi.

this is clearly something that the artist did, and not even present in the original novel

 

[NEOO_]

That's a waste of resources, to save those "humans". I liked the system they have in Star Trek way better, were a new lifeform, even if they were "human", there would be no interaction with.

star trek is stupid.
all xenos should be made to kneel like in warhammer, or like the culture series where they are forcefully brought into the fold weather they like it or not

Having an inflexible doctrine is stupid in general. It's best to act according to circumstances.
