League for the Defense of Humanity, Cosmic Revenge, and the War of the Worlds

The League for the Defense of Humanity, Cosmic Revenge, and the War of the Worlds is Gilgamesh90’s name for the group investigating who caused The Extermination and how the attack was carried out. Its title joins human defense to cosmic revenge, but its defining activity is not combat: it has collected fragmentary records, reconstructed the event’s timing and distance, and built an astronomical test of a theory about a wormhole. The investigation turns an old catastrophe into a question that can still be examined, while leaving its most consequential explanation unproven.

Identity and Declaration

Gilgamesh90 introduces the League as being on the side of the good guys, then clarifies its purpose as a search for humanity’s murderers. These declarations establish the organization through its mission rather than through a description of its membership, constitution, or territory. The available account names no officers or internal divisions, and offers no evidence of a conventional political or military structure. What it does show is a group bound, at least in this exchange, by a shared inquiry into the cause of humanity’s near-destruction.

The gap between the grand name and the practical work is significant. Cosmic revenge suggests an answer already chosen; the League’s actual method is to gather evidence and test an explanation. Its stated moral identity is Gilgamesh90’s assertion, not an independent confirmation that every conclusion the group reaches is correct. The organization’s defining tension is therefore between the certainty of its purpose and the provisional character of its findings.

Reconstructing the Extermination

Gilgamesh90 describes the League as having meticulously assembled the surviving records of The Extermination: fragmentary data, ancient robot registers, and precise dating of the neutron wave, measured down to the nanosecond. The group used these materials to calculate a point on the horizon and the distance associated with the event. The work combines incomplete historical traces with measurement; no single surviving record is presented as a complete explanation.

This reconstruction gives the search a specific object. The League is not merely looking for an enemy in the abstract: it is trying to connect the physical evidence of the attack to a source and a means of transmission. The calculation does not itself identify a perpetrator, and the text does not report that the League has found the attackers’ home world. Instead, its gathered records establish the basis for a further investigation, one aimed at a signal left by the mechanism of the attack.

The Telescope and the Wormhole Test

The League’s test uses the Google hybrid radio telescope to listen for waste-radiation echoes from the opening of a wormhole. Gilgamesh90 explains that such an opening cannot be made cleanly and should leave a physical signature. The telescope is therefore directed not simply toward a suspected destination, but toward evidence that could reveal the route by which an attack might have arrived.

Gilgamesh90 also offers an explanation for the seventeen-light-year interval: in this account, it was meant not to prevent the discovery of a home planet or the remnants of a hyper-cannon, but to prevent observers from reading the wormhole’s signature, described as its IP. This is presented as a tested hypothesis and a reason for the League’s observational project, not as a result already confirmed by the telescope. The distinction matters: the group has assembled calculations and constructed a way to check them, but the evidence shown does not yet settle what the instrument will detect.

The Hypothesis and Its Stakes

The reasoning extends well beyond identifying a weapon. If an outside civilization fired The Extermination through a wormhole, Gilgamesh90 argues, that civilization must have access to faster-than-light travel across the observable and non-observable universe. Such reach would imply a complete database of possible paths of life and technology; from that premise, Gilgamesh90 derives the possibility of a Gardener of the Universe and related conclusions. The argument is a chain of implications, with the wormhole hypothesis at its beginning and a sweeping account of life and technological development at its far end.

Bartek does not meet this chain with easy agreement. He looks down toward Earth and questions why an attacker with such power would sterilize humanity in this particular way rather than destroy the planet outright. His objection shifts attention from capability to intention: if the attack was designed to produce exactly its observed outcome, perhaps it was not an extermination in the ordinary sense, and humanity was not simply killed. That interpretation is raised as a question, not resolved as the League’s official position.

Significance and Uncertainty

The League’s importance lies in the combination of historical reconstruction and forward-looking observation. Robot registers and damaged archives preserve traces of the past; the radio telescope is meant to test what those traces cannot establish by themselves. The investigation makes the catastrophe legible as a sequence of physical events, while also opening the possibility that its apparent meaning—an attack intended simply to kill—may be incomplete.

At the same time, the organization remains defined by inquiry rather than by a disclosed answer. Its name promises defense and revenge, but the evidence presented shows calculation, collection, and verification, not a completed hunt or a confirmed encounter with the perpetrators. The telescope’s target is an echo; the larger target is an explanation. Whether the League will find the signature it seeks, or whether that signature would prove the entire chain of conclusions Gilgamesh90 draws from it, remains unresolved.
