How would modern Earth in 2017 react to a Chtorr invasion?

what's a blep?

Chtorran fart noise

I personally think it would be a loud sputtering sound.

I know a lot of you guys think U.S. military is horrible backwards, but please remember we haven't had a proper scrap for several decades. Additionally, some of our best gear and weapons tech is purposefully withheld to give credence to international weapons treaties.

If we could have some sort of xeno enemy that legitimately threatened human life on Terra, something that we could really let loose on, the Chtorr would be absolutely fucked.

We'd make weaponized space-AIDS to kill the Chtorr, we'd shower them with nerve gas, we'd strip the flesh from their skeletons with plasma casters, we'd vaporize incoming spores with railguns and LASER weapons. We'd gather living Chtorr and torture them, just so we could broadcast their screams to the stars and maybe scare their buddies. We'd find Chtorr-occupied zones and shower them in radioactive debris, just to make them die slow, miserable deaths. We would do all sorts of amazing and terrible things to drive them off Terra.

Odds are though, there would be some Chtorr-protection committee that would get started to establish rights for the Chtorr, so we'd drop the council members in with the bugs, see how much they like working with the xeno freaks then.

They're not sapient, anon. They're just really, really dangerous animals that get released as part of an alien xenoforming attack.

Saw this thread last night . Never heard of this series before now I'm one book down and chewing through the next one .
Just wanted to say thanks I'm totally hooked.

Considering the mandala structures they're building in SA, I think it's not unreasonable to see them as sapient or semi-sapient.

but who is behind the xenoforming attack?

I asked chris avellone 1nc if he read the Chtorr series and he actually did. I could tell because the writing throughout fallout reminds me of the chtorr series

another video game I could see gerrold's influence in was the half-life series, nt just because of the fact it deals with giant worms and ends after 4 installments, but because it deals with characters and their problems which are caused by being around things that are completely inhuman

Don't thank anyone for getting you hooked on this series. Apparently the author is even slower than George R.R. Martin. It has been literally 24 years since the fourth book was published and the author still is working on the fifth one.

Nobody knows. Though given that in the books multiple super plagues wiped out 9/10 of humanity before the chtorran ecology even first appeared, somebody's behind it.

a king of memes centering around entropy, perhaps?

Annnd it gets creepier and creepier. First book is nice Xcomesque action.

When you get to underage alien sex cults, ehm....

I think the creepy trend would have continued in the later books, what do you guys think would happen in the later books? What would end up happening to Jim? I mean, we know he's supposed to see something so crazy it makes him insane, but I'm curious as to what that would be, and I wonder how the next books would follow up with it.

According to Wikipedia, the next lifeform that is in a higher place in the chtorran hireachy are called "god bees" I wonder what god bees could be?
