Alien invasion: Your reaction

[Ieyke]

So they're basically Tyranids/Bugs/Zerg, except not actually much more dangerous than humans?
I kill them the same way I'd kill humans.


Actual Tyranids - Oh god, we're screwed.
Bugs - Get big guns and fight guerrilla war.
Zerg - Get big guns and fight guerrilla war.
Necrons - We're doomed or enslaved and there's nothing we can do to stop it.
Tau - Diplomacy, or we're probably screwed, but get big guns and fight guerrilla war.
Orks - Kill tons of them and eventually get overrun.
ID4 - Get Jeff Goldblum and Will Smith to take out their shields.
War Of The Worlds - Get a cold, cripple aliens.
Chitauri - We're probably screwed, but get big guns and fight guerrilla war.
Adeptus Astartes - Surrender to our masters and join the Imperium Of Mankind.
Skrulls - Can't really fight Skrulls....
Protoss - Try and work it out peacefully.
Craftworld Eldar - Try and work it out peacefully.
Dark Eldar - Kill as many as possible and cripple their force before they build the momentum needed to win
DC Martians - Diplomacy/Flamethrowers. Lots of fire.
Kree - Surrender to the Kree Empire, since we can't win.
Barsoom Martians - Diplomacy/Fight guerrilla war.
Goa'uld - Kill them.
Replicators - We're pretty much screwed if they want us dead.
Wraith - Kill them.
Falling Skies aliens - Shoot them.
3rd Rock From The Sun aliens - Hang out with them.
Stargate Universe aliens - Fight back, but we seem pretty much screwed.
Autobots - TEAM UP!
Decepticons - Team up?
District 9 aliens - Steal their badass mechs.
The Asgard (Stargate) - TEAM UP!
Asgardians (Marvel) - TEAM UP!

In all seriousness, though we may suffer heavy casualties worldwide, we will most likely even loose in the end but unless they have enough brains to enact planetary bombardment upon first contact, we will make ourselves as big of a pest as we possibly can and hopefully make them reconsider their choice of target.
I maintain my opinion that we did not get to where we are by being simply intelligent and nice, we got where we are because we were the most relentless and maliciously ingenious bastards on this rock. It is both our greatest advantage in case of hostile contact (as in a common enemy for the entire world) and our greatest downfall if there is none as in the absence of a enemy, we turn against ourselves

 

[BelmontWolf]

contaminate their food supplies with as many viruses as possible including aids for the sheer hell of it

 

[Wolf In A Bear Suit]

You aliens and your lasers are no match for my stick. Poor bastards have no clue who they're messing with. They'll regret the day they ignored the fact I called dibbs on this planet and crossed Fancypants McCoy IV.

 

[katsabas]

Call these guys:

No brainer, really.

 

[Nantucket_v1legacy]

Call these guys:

No brainer, really.

The Avengers? Nah - I'd rather call these guys.

That's a no brainer.

 

[katsabas]

The Avengers? Nah - I'd rather call these guys.

That's a no brainer.

Depends. If it's an all-out invasion, Avengers all the way. If it is insidious and stealthily planned then yeah, Scully and Mulder FTW.

 

[Nantucket_v1legacy]

What if they had a team up?
What if somehow Scully got infected with Gamma Rays at precisely the right time the aliens decided to invade? That could be one of the greatest crossovers in history.

 

[bigfatcarp93]

I'd ask about becoming a collaborator. All of Earth will kneel at my feet if I will but kneel at theirs...

Same here.

You could almost say that instinct... must be expunged.

Captcha: Know thyself. Now that's just creepy.

 

[zumbledum]

So, you wake up one morning and it turns out that a large alien fleet has arrived and is invading Earth. How do you think the world would react in its current state? More importantly, how would YOU react?

I'm here to answer any questions on the nature of the invasion, by the way.

capitulate instantly and without reservation then try and not be noticeable.

if they have the tech to get here we cant win end of story so time to serve our new overlords!

 

[A-D.]

First reaction? "Well there goes the neighbourhood."

Then i'd realize that Humans are one of the most, if not the most warlike and adaptive species. Meaning we'd prolly steal their gear and just fight back until either they leave, are all dead or we are wiped out.

In fact i doubt that if they are hostile, they'd try to negotiate, or we'd go for peace if they showed any hostile intent.

As the good Doctor once put it. "Run, for the real Monsters are coming. Humans." ;P

 

[Samantha Burt]

My first thought: "Ooh, aliens exist!"
My second thought: "Why are they invading?"
My third thought: "I wonder if they brought any cool science..."

 

[Mr.Squishy]

Can it please be eldar? If I am to be subjugated, then at least let it be by aestethically pleasing space elves.
Albeit, I'd probably shrug my shoulders and just carry on whatever it is I was doing.

 

[Zorg Machine]

There is absolutely no way that we would have any chance in hell against them. If they had the technology to travel here with an invasion fleet any engagement against them would be equivalent to a group of angry farmers from the middle ages charging a squad of highly trained soldiers with air support and tanks.

I would ask the aliens if they need help enslaving the human race. You can all get yourselves killed in a mad fight for liberty but I intend to check if the aliens have discovered eternal youth first.

[Lopende Paddo]

the world would be chaos with all army's being obliterated (lets face it, if they can get here and are "Invading" they could wipe us out easy), I would put on my tin foiled hat find a good vantage point and suck on a pacifier while watching the world burn.

 

[brownie212]

walk towards them, i figure if they can get here and they wanted us dead we wouldn't even know about them before the wiped out a good majority of humanity and those of us that are left basically end up enslaved or killed over the next week or so, so why bother running lets see what i can learn as a slave

 

[snowpuppy]

I seriously doubt they would kill the Earth's entire population in order to inhabit a planet that likely requires terraforming, not to mention the centuries of infrastructure that they likely would be incompatible with.

But what if they're go the Combine route? That is, use humanity as a slave labor, forcing us to literally terraform our own planet to suit their need. You'd spend the rest of your life in an increasingly hostile world, never knowing whether or not you'd be abducted next day, to be converted into a drone.

Work my way up the genocidal alien corporate ladder. I mean seriously, those guys have laser guns!

 

[Meatspinner]

I'd dance

Barring that I would find a shovel, dig a hole and hope for the best

 

[Daaaah Whoosh]

I'd try hitchhiking. Maybe they have some sympathetic cooks on board who'll pick me up just to mess with their bosses.

Oh, and I'd make sure to drink some beer and eat some peanuts beforehand. And perhaps put a bag over my head.
