The aliens were completely unprepared for one completely
prepared human. So was Humanity.
Memories
before reading
This story evolved out of a conversation I had with a tech
who had completely screwed his jack-ass employer over merely by being fired,
and then having been found to be indispensible after the fact. I’d just read a
lot of Heinlein, and the classic Competent Science Fiction Protagonist was
roiling in my brain. Here’s the result.
Review
after reading
This is a dialogue-heavy story that proceeds with humor to a
good punch-line. But! In the midst of that, there is an amazing character
speech that I’d completely forgotten about. I don’t know where it came from,
but I like it. It raises the story up from “merely” humorous.
