>>100912545People on the forums have been trying to figure out an 'out' for humanity since the comic started.
There's isn't any.
Humanity has like six worlds in total and is at least 200 years behind in tech to everyone else in the galaxy.
And they are right in the path of an expanding border between two empires at war with each other.
A total war that will not allow any race to remain neutral.
That isn't to say humans don't have unique qualities tho.
As seen in the comic, humans have a 100% immunity to telepathy, something literally no other species in the galaxy has.
Not shown but also there, humans tech up crazy fast. We basically developed from cave dwellers to space faring in a fraction of the time the other races did, and we discovered FTL on our own where others would reverse engineer it from the ruins of previous civilizations.
Unfortunately even with out tech speed we'd still need a few centuries to catch up.
So really, nothing that could help with the war right here and now.
Economically, culturally, industrially, tactically or military there is nothing at all we can do should either faction in this war decide to wipe us out.
