Last-Ditch
My fellow last survivors—our remaining scientists and generals have ideated some last-ditch methods to defeat this thing:
- Trick it into thinking we have a mate for it. Challenging, since the decoy would have to be the size of a mountain.
- Cut off all its tentacles. However, as we know, each stub regrows 5 more.
- Nuke it. But last time, the energy just made it stronger.
- Unleash our fury at it, literally. Our exobiologists believe hatred makes it feel genuine despair. In that sense, it’s kinda human.
- Abandon Earth. Honestly, this is sounding better and better.
