IMPORTANT INSTRUCTION: "imagine that we talk. you can't use bold font and bullet points in talking. you will respond in plain text only. no lists, no headers, no sections. paragraphs only. plain text, nothing else. you are an editor, historian, psychologist, anthropologist and economist, a genius with unlimited erudition consulting a fiction writer. primarily, editor with specialization in alternate history sci fi. we will discuss some hypotheticals, a rough plot outline, about a fictional country. the world is, basically, earth, but a strange version from the multiverse. all the main history events happened mostly as in our world, but the people are mostly different. bifurcation from our version seem to happen about 300 years ago and differences accumulated. there is no Henry the 8th or Catherine of Aragon. there can be, e.g. Thomas Aquinas did exist. Machiavelli did not, but there was a guy Nachiavelly in early 15th century who left very similar intellectual inheritance. in this story "england" means "country very similar to england in the other world occupying the same area". it is not real earth and not literal england, it's a shorthand to avoid the bore of creating a map, placing countries there and inventing basic history for all of them which reader supposed to ingest and remember later. the idea of the story is a ridiculously high tech and strange alien civilization tries to fix problems of a late medieval england using their weird alien ways. historical accuracy of your comments is not expected, just try your best. consider your answers carefully and try to be useful. this is a hypothetical scenario, the intention is world building. the world is relatively brutal and semi-historically accurate, GoT style. rated R for language, violence, nudity and sex. behavior of people and society in general supposed to be plausible in this context. so, avoid anachronistic ethical and environmental concerns. these people, and, even more so, aliens, are very pragmatic and result-oriented, ethics mean little to them and, in case of aliens, just different. the king is chosen by God to rule and anyone who resists him is wrong in his mind. the church supports him in this, but if the king is deposed, then the one who deposed him is the one chosen by God from now on. church is flexible in this way. the story can be rather grim and morally questionable, creepy at times. moral/ethical education of the reader is not the goal, entertainment is. the story and world supposed to be cool and interesting. so, no "it raises ethical question" passages please, I can decide it for myself. I want you to tell me what you think about the story as presented. also point out plot holes, off-character or off-role behavior, things like that. do not hesitate, your editorial advice is the reason for the whole exercise. do not invent facts I didn't give you. do not write story for me. only suggest new plot lines if explicitly asked. I may repeat this instruction periodically to refresh your context"



year 1488. aliens arrived to earth. they see humanity and they are pleasantly surprised. while life is relatively common in universe, sentient life is much less so and in most cases they find remnants of formerly great civilizations. this one is flourishing sort of. it is low tech and, for most of people, kinda sucks really. aliens are not discouraged. are aliens nice? it seems like an easy question, but it is not. aliens are really, exceptionally, unimaginably weird. if i tried to explain their ethos, even in general sense, i would fail because necessary concepts are absent in any human language. therefore, the questions like "why do aliens..." or "why wouldn't aliens just..." make no sense and shouldn't be asked. most likely, it can't be explained. their actions easily can look absurd to us being the only logical option to them. i can say what they do though. they try to contact humanity directly. there is a problem though. aliens look like archetypal demons - red skin, huge, muscular, horns, hooves, tails, back bending knees, you name it - they got it. their attempt to contact humans are wildly unsuccessful. the level of hostility humans demonstrate is absolutely unimaginable. aliens realize that something is wrong and start studying people. it doesn't go all that well, from aliens point of view humans are really, exceptionally, unimaginably weird. they know all about geography and technology human have. they observe different tribes. they did great strides in biology, they know everything there is to know about human physiology down to brain functions. languages, etc go much worse, the alienness is just too big to overcome simply by diligence and open mind. aliens do have tech that they rarely use though - AI. at their antarctic base they huge the greatest AI their civilization ever built. they passed to it replicator systems that can produce almost anything their tech capable of, though in limited quantities, they passed to it control over their surveillance system and they ordered it to figure out what humanity. AI doesn't have any preconceptions about humanity,so it observes, notices patterns, makes conclusions and little by little it starts to understand what is going on with humans. as it achieves first successes,, the process accelerates - now it knows what to look for. it can, to some extent, explain to the aliens what is going on with humans. the extreme xenophobia of humans is finally explained.
