_"They are not even afraid of Gods, their literal God coming down, pissing some of them off, and they nail him alive to wood to die"_ ROTFL 🤣🤣

Suffer not the Xenos to live,for their mere existance is heresy!

“They put KINVES on GUNS?!” That got me

"The human love of overkill." Better overkill than underkill... Also, imagine their surprise when the humans insist on making the harming of the juveniles of any species a war crime....

"As of this moment, we are all dead. We go into battle to reclaim our lives. This we do gladly, for we are Human. Remember: victory is life."

I'm reminded of a proverb by a great human philosopher at times like these. 'If it bleeds, we can kill it.' God, demon, or simple child killer. They die all the same at our blades.

" and when humans decide that something is dangerous to their young, they will stop at nothing to destroy it" sums up our species pretty well don't you think?

Humanity: Friends? Xeno: No 😡 Humanity: Happy chain weapon noises

As a father of 2 babies this hits hard. Feel like if I were about to go into battle and heard a baby get shot, I would also fall into a blood rage. Great story

"When they not only can just make more but enjoy doing so." Very Logical thinking from a pirate.

Reminds me of a fantasy monster that, if you kill one of them, the rest will attack relentlessly until you die, no matter how many of them are mowed down in the process. An unusual evolutionary strategy to be sure, but it worked. Everyone absolutely avoided attacking one of those things at all costs, because the only way to end the resulting onslaught was to either exterminate the entire population of the critters, or abandon your outpost.

Pankin Command: Why are the humans fighting with such sheer wantonness. It wasnt their offspring. Pankin Xenobiologist: Apparently their military doctrine revolves around a riddle that goes, "what makes the grass grow?"

Kids are so precious to people that crimes against children often draw more punishment than to adults indeed.

"THIS ISN'T WAR, THIS IS REVENGE! ARE THEY INSANE!? ARE THEY INSANE!!?" - The Admiral asked the question calmly...

I love how humanity is not upset that they are the only ones fighting, the admiral is just like "Keep the guns and my men fed and try to keep up, my boys are trying to have fun!"

OMG...... YIPPEE KI YHA MOTHER F**KER....... HAD ME ON THE FLOOR LMFAO SO HARD...... It took 10 min's for my eyes to stop watering so I could play the rest of the story....

The act of conception itself is pleasurable, yes, but the actual conception itself is immaterial. The process of a female's gestation period and eventual delivery however renders her so physically ill it is legally considered a temporary disability. The actual birthing process is agonizing to the point where many women must be sedated simply to endure it without accidentally mutilating themselves or others due to the pain. They are also a species that fully raises their young until said young is considered an independent adult, and even then by law they must care for the offspring for several years beyond what would be considered physical maturity to account for a legally dictated age of mental maturity. The human gestation period is nearly a full year. It is considered a statistical oddity for a human female to have more than one offspring from one gestation. From a sheer biological standpoint, humans invest an incredible amount of time and energy into their young, and that's before the social and psychological aspects of raising it come into effect. There is no such thing as 'just an offspring' to humans for this reason. They are instinctively hard-wired to consider their young to be the most important thing in the universe. For a long time, a popular cultural phrase has been 'our children are our future'. And after all, if one's only offspring does not survive into adulthood, one has not succsssfully fulfilled the biological imperative to pass along one's genetic code.

Hey, I'm glad you enjoyed my story. :) Nice job narrating it.

Alien: takes the shot. His HUD: You done goofed. You have alerted the humans.

A safe galaxy is a human galaxy.

"One of their stories has their literal god coming down, pissing some of them off and they nail him to wood to die" This had me laughing so damn hard 😂

The Level we will go to against an enemy that harms or knowingly kills kids is absolute.

Humans still playing their favorite anthem as they dive through a planets atmosphere. KICK START MY HEART

I like the idea of an alien species not putting any value on their young but putting enough value on kitties to know the term "kitty killing monsters", like, don't care about children, but kittens? That's were I draw the line

It was not part of their blood, It came to them very late With long arrears to make good, When the English began to hate. -Kipling's "The Beginnings"

My one thought was of the speech of Belgrade. Modified by myself for the occasion. Heroes! The supreme command has erased our regiment from its records. Our regiment has been sacrificed for the honour of Terra and Humanity. Therefore, you no longer need to worry about your lives: they no longer exist. So, forward to glory! For Terra and humanity! Long live the Terra, Long live Humanity!”

I love the stories of human going nuts when they target our young

The fact that the final dualogue ends with "we think so" and then i took a look at the video's title.

This reminded me of Babylon 5: in the Beginning movie, where Londo recalled the war between the Humans and the Minbari. "They made the Minbari fight for every inch of space" "When they ran out of ships they would use guns, when they ran out of guns they would use knives... and bare hands" chek out Mollari on Humans if your interested.

I wonder how long it will take for that war crime to not just include human young. Because we kind of pack bond with anything. And If I see someone threatening a kid…

Asking for translation of the DIe Hard quote had me. Well done sir.

Stay away from our kids. Period.

would love a part 2

They done goofed.

This is my favourite sci-fi short story. Just awesome.

Hell hath no fury like a righteously angry mother.

Amazing story. Very well told, too. Thank you so much!

"Q" from Star trek should have said "Don't piss-off the humans!"

Awesome! There can be more, gimme more.. pls

Absolutely amazing story!

Well written story, Thank you for upload .

Love these

14 *quadrants* ?

I listened to several of your recordings now, and many of them show the problem we have to fix if we want to avoid murdering our own again and again. Hate that is kept alive and nurtured for generations.

Great story! Classic FAFO!

Well done. I'm totally into it.

Great Syfy short story.

Lmao we're the klingons now 😂

THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

Great story 🫡🫡🤘🤘

I LoLed hard at the Die Hard reference

"contradicting doctrine which said that ground troops should only come down once the area is secured..." Allow me to introduce you to the concept of paratroopers.

Good stuff

A nice nod to Bruce Willis!!😂😂

Purge the Xenos.

This is why “The Killing Star” has the most likely response an alien civilization will have to humanity’s existence.

Alien: Are they insane? Human: Crazy like a fox.

Sounds like Donovan Dread, to me!

Got em!

Alien: "So how did you fixed the jamming in transmission?" Human: "I blow the jamming source!" YEP, sound absolutely Human-like !!

There is no such thing as overkill. There's only "fire clear" and "I have to reload"...

Leonardo 3 might just do the trick but .. dam

Genie out of the bottle time then.

great story is there going to part 2?

Rule number 1 with humans. DONT TARGET THE KIDS. Forget politics. Forget bribary. Threats.....its the hammer on the coffin for ya.

yeah, there are a lot of funny lines in this one.

*alien soldier* they brought a church...?...it also have guns...and...wait is it walking ? Titan in a floridan accent: a good alien is a dead one*proceed to obliterate the fortress in front of him*

Cool

Art sauces? I'd like to nab that image with all the ships flying over the planet around the 10:00 mark for wallpaper.

Welcome to Earth😊 👍

something i heard in another story: "we, mankind, know what we are capable of, and not one deserve this...yet" those alien F***ed around and found out

FOR THE EMPEROR!

Story could have ended with the anthropologists finally realizing the value of a human child, because the time investment is completely different from all other known intelligent species which all spawn like frogs or fish. Give it a little bit of a 50's scifi "it's a cookbook" twist.

Why are our alien allies so worried? Unless of course they were planning to harm children

Wait till they see banzai charge.

FIX BAYONETS!

hey, space *Corsairs*

“From what twisted depths of the abyss can hate like that come from? What is he thinking about? Doesn’t he know what he’s doing?” Obviously you’ve never met a Marine, hatred and lack of thought is what makes them strong. 🗿🗿🗿

"it is not my job to die for Earth....it is my job to make the other poor dumb bastard die for their Planet..." a Terran

7:50 Damn right 🤬

Is there a part 2?

I got to see the very concept of an alien beast shooting an infant pisses me off too, 😮

Bayonetting the xeno is acceptable conduct on the battlefield. Remember, gents. Rifle length gas 20" and mid length gas 16" ARs with fixed front sight bases readily accept bayonets.

Will it work no it won't, it will never work

8:20 only speaking facts

YOU ARE F**KING KIDDING ME....... When is the next part coming out....?

drums.. drums in the void.. their thunder grows louder , their rythm deeper.. brace sweet little aliens , steel and blood and sweat and bullets are coming for you all ..blow up the mechs and a berserk will just leap over it with an axe

This sounds more like a hoard. The most successful militarys on the planet all value human life above all else. No man left behind, etc. Reckless abandon usually just leads to high casualties rates and surrender. They mentioned “self termination” attacks which I’m assuming means kamikaze missions. But a suicide mission isn’t a kamikaze. A kamikaze is an attack where it’s success is contingent on both sides total destruction. A suicidal mission is incredibly dangerous, with almost no chance of survival, but those who carry it out don’t succeeed by dying, on the contrary, they should try as hard as they can to avoid it. This humanity feels more like crazed kamikaze wilfully killing themselves than people who understand the grave consequences, don’t want to die, but face long odds regardless.

"yippee-kai-yay mfer!!"

first.........

keep in mind 180 cycles is like 110 years so you do the math

So they were British.... 😂😂😂😂

you think they voted unanimously?

Yeah!…….But they were all bad……..

Don't get me wrong i do love those stories but there is something bothering me a lot. I listened to some of them and there's often something common: the humanity is always too much, the best or the worst but still humanity first. That does bother me a lot. It's okay for 1-2 stories but not that much.

That ending sucked, I was hoping it would show us to be a reasonable species and the galaxy had nothing to fear. Still liked it because it was a good story just was hoping for a different ending.

This is a ripoff of another story except in the other one they were soldiers not pirates.
