The Predator’s Chuckle: Why the Galaxy’s Threat Failed to Scare Us
🍷 "You call this a 'War'? We call this 'Refreshing'."

The alien High Command spent centuries preparing. They built millions of ships, mastered plasma tech, and chose the exact moment the 5,000-Year Peace expired to strike. 🌌 They expected Earth to be in a state of global panic, their leaders begging for an extension of the armistice. 🏛️💨

Instead, the transmission they received back was a video of the Terran High Admiral leaning back in his chair, swirling a glass of wine, and chuckling. 🚢✨

"You've been watching us for five millennia," the Admiral said, his eyes glinting with a terrifying hunger. "Did you really think we were just 'farming'? We were bored. We were so incredibly bored of being 'good'." 🛠️⚡

Before the alien fleet could even charge their weapons, the "peaceful" satellites they had ignored for centuries unfolded into Solar-Array Cannons. Humanity didn't just meet them in battle; we welcomed them like a long-awaited dessert. 💀🔥

The galaxy thought the peace was for our protection. We just let them think that so they wouldn't run away. 👑🌑
