Humans are Space Orcs “Intuition”
It has been a little while since I have written something nice and short, but I hope that you can all enjoy a quick little read. Hopefully I can get back to the main story soon enough for those of you who are interested in that. Thank you all for reading and have a great day J

“So, Dr. Krill, what are will you be writing your next paper on? I admit I am always excited to see your publications.”
“I am pleased to see you follow my work, and I am happy to say that, yes I have something new in the works that is quite exciting. I don’t know how the scientific community will accept it, but still interesting none the less.”
“Well, don’t just leave us guessing, come on and tell us.”
“Well, I have this theory that humans can predict the future. Now hold on, don’t give me that look, I know what you’re thinking. I am not talking about magic, I am simply talking about subconscious pattern recognition that far surpasses our own, and I know those of you that work with humans have seen it too.”
Humans have an otherworldly predictive power that can seem almost supernatural at times. For all intents and purposes, I have said before that I feel that humans can see into the future. Of course, what I mean by this is that the human brain has evolved, by efforts of the death world, to use subconscious predictive patterns to make an educated guess at future events. As an example.
· Humans have an uncanny predictive power. If you have ever watched humans fight each other or play sports, you will observe the action of the more experienced human happens before the action of the less experienced human, but they never seem to predict incorrectly, in fact they seem to know exactly where their opponent will be even before their opponent does.
· I have met crews of nonhumans who have one simple rule. “Always trust human instincts about a new person. If your human doesn’t like someone you just met, it pays to be cautious. And I don’t mean like generally dislike them. I mean if your human feels the need to warn you that something is wrong or this person shouldn’t be trusted without provocation, it is probably best to listen to your human.
o I cannot count the number of stories that I have discovered that demonstrate how a crew made the mistake of not listening to their human, and they were stabbed in the back, robbed, or worse.
· On this same thread, if you human is uneasy about a specific location or place, it is best to listen to them. In fact there is anecdotal evidence dating back to our original contact with humans that has demonstrated humans predicting, the weather, ambushes, and even what might happen in someone’s future.
o For instance if a human predicts the future career of one of your friends, he could be absolutely right.
· Humans have the ability to predict your mood, future or otherwise. No matter how hard you may try to hide how you are feeling, there is always that one human that somehow knows. Not even that, but there have been times where a human heard about an event and was already waiting with proper support.
o Now this does not apply to all humans, but I find in general that the female humans seem to demonstrate this power the most, especially likely if the human has offspring. I have yet to find if there is correlation evidence to back this up, but I eventually hope to conduct this study.
· I know many humans that can predict the health of a machine just by listening to it. I cannot count how many times our captain or one of the engineers grounded the ship because they said it “Sounded” wrong only to discover a faulty piece or some other issue.
· Humans are also known to predict their own health in a similar way. If something about their body FEELS nonspecifically wrong even before symptoms of a particular problem appears. Generally those humans have to fight with their own medical professionals to convince them something is wrong.
· Though humans are said to have duller senses that some of their animal counterparts, many humans claim to have the ability to tell when someone is staring at them, or even when someone is following them. Ask a human, they will all be able to describe the “feeling” of being watched. I don’t see how this is possible considering that someone staring at you creates no audible movement in the air or anything like that. But I have attempted this feat, and for some reason, the human always seems to know.
· Older humans can predict when they are dying.
o There are stories that have younger humans predicting their own deaths down to the very minute and way that they die.
· Humans can easily predict your movement before you actually take it. Ever try to attack a human off guard, though this seems to be obvious to me without having to say that.
· I truly believe that humans have the ability to sense danger before it comes. Just watch them, humans will get nervous before it happens, they get shifty, they speak about a general feeling of wrongness in the air. It can really be anything. I don’t know how to say it, but it’s true.
I know there is a general unease in the galactic community about idolizing humans or attributing supernatural powers to them, in order not to goad the human-worshiping cults, but I swear there is something strange about humans like they can tap into something we cannot see. As a scientist, my greatest explanation of course is the advanced pattern recognition of the human brain, the same one that gives them the ability to create unfathomable music. This same one gives them the unconscious ability to read patterns and deviations in patterns.
I implore you as my final piece of advice. Trust your humans, they may have access to something you don’t.
They that hold the future in their mind’s eye.
Please feel free to add a comment about how you or someone you know once “Predicted the future” or something about someone or situation.
