It's got to be Option '3', surely? Stealthy Space Bunnies would be fantastic. They're smol! Haha! And, of course, Napoleon was once forced to flee from a group of rabbits, too, and you can't beat a bit of history repeating itself! 😎

Well done! Option 2 gets my vote. Bikars sound like they might be most useful.

Space bikars are what passes for “criminals” among the Terrans. These boys and girls are an absolute menace for narco cartels, pirates, and any other obnoxious fartfaced fokk, who thinks they can molest “honist peepo.”

I vote 1. Engineers solve practical problems. Just ask Gordon Freeman, or Isaac Clarke.

Thank you for your vote! I hope you like the story so far. Votes moved the plot into another direction, I did not expect this at all :D

At first, it’s a toss up between hamsters (1) and rabbits (3), but I’m going with the knavish hamsters. Imagine if they can also travel in their habitrails and hamster balls, all of which are rather sci fi IMHO.:)

Terran uplifted hamsters or how enemy aliens call them, tiny feet of doom, are utterly adorable, PTSD joke-flinging, fearless, dead baddie counting littles. Yes, and they can fit in tiny spaces, go where average sized sentients cannot.

Much can be mined in the narrative with these adaptable critters.:)

Because the older, deviant civilizations value the life of critters not, they always project their own deeds and culture upon others. They see Terran hamsters and bunnies as slave races, genetically bred for war. Nothing can be further from the truth, but these elder aliens do not care.

Great narrative tension and conflict can ensue from these worlds in collision.

Yeees, the tiny feet of doom :) They love to help, will joke around, yet when needed, all the baddies they see with their adorable eyes will fall!

#1 Tiny paws of doom in the form of Hamsters. It would be awesome to see them show up with all their jokes.

Some of them scouts are almost miniature copies of John Rambo. Though there is another commando who takes his role in my alternate history universe. John Smith is a US born man who has a few action flicks made commemorating his legendary fight in communist ruled Britain during WW2.

One of my best short stories (at the time) titled Commando from anthology 1, tells that tale.
