Agreed, I've read stories about people on trial for killing babies and young children. The absolute rage I feel towards those people is something I could've never imagined before I became a parent. I can definitely understand how this all started. Imagine someone killing your child and shortly after someone else goes, "look, I have some new toys for you to even the odds"
I would expect giant penises to also be drawn. I mean, here on Earth, there is proof of penises that have been CARVED into stone that are thousands of years old. I expect nothing less than on some alien world. Some "War Ape" drew one and it is baffling the rest of the aliens as to what it means. And we just do not have the heart to tell them.
Meanwhile I feel like the human leaders are slowly becoming unfit to interact with the other races. Their aggroance and ego is staggeringly growing. "Imagined if that lizard didn't shoot and kill the baby and the mother, if the mother and baby had survived. You should be thankful to us for that!" And from there on, the humans proceed to make everything all about themselves in the end, claiming that they're superior over the other races. Diplomatic interactions framed as this will benefit you greatly but it secretly benefits us more.
Why? I actually kinda like this voice. It seems to ,, draw one into the story. I also liked the way it did "The Black Ship" book one.as dock said, " there's just somethin' about it, somethin',,, round the house".
Liked the Christmas cannon music at 2hrs. Sick an twisted. Misice with carnage to sooth the soul. An twist that'd alien audience brains into flashback trauma for weeks & yrs. Xmas may never be the same.
@@ussarng4649not sure where you get that. That reads as touch my people and I will unleash the sun if I must to stop you. I'd call that the core essence of being a good leader or parent
This is a good story, I really enjoyed it. Especially the fact it was all in one piece. I hate when they break a story into 30 to 60 5 to 15 min segments, and then scatter them all over hell,so you can't listen to the whole story in the right order. And half the time u can't even find all the segments. I won't start a story on chapter4 then 9 then 13 then 2,,,,I don't understand. Is it just to get more hits, cause u have to click on 40 different clips just to hear one story? I kno I won't click on it unless I can start on the beginning. But,, that's just me..
Great story! I gave your channel a sub purely for the fact that you actually credit the original author, got permission, AND are revenue sharing with them!!! Finally, a channel actually respecting the creators! I love it!!
These stories need a chapter where the Human leadership warns the galaxy that: "Yeah... Our species is going to try to breed with yours. It's just... Something they do."
"this all happened cause a woman cheated on her husband and a pirate lord loved ginger snaps" This has me fucking dying. 🤣😂🤣 Imagine reading that in a history book.
The concept that cheap drones and interstellar wifi with some capitalistic minds can turn any human with free time into a fighter that can too pay to fight more... is completly broken bro. like i would extend this to drone robots piloted by gamers taking planets and other races are like... but the cost of this is massive... Well our soldiers pay to be in the war so we can do this forever... bro that was insane to me.
There are ofcause issues with this proposal. I would suspect these fighter drones to be slightly more expensiv than the self made drones of Urkain nowadays and therefor untrained, unvetted civilists may not hold the disciplin to use them. Gamers do not have to be yound, but often are and those maybe should not be included in warfare either. It bares more markings of a dystopian future in my book, when just anyone is being handed a weapon of war to wreck havoc, even if it is against an enemy. Is that the ideal world? Waking up in the morning, sitting down in front of a monitor or using a brain implant creating a virtual reprensentation in your minds eye of an far away battlefield, to then take lives. Should inflicting death become that casual to civilians or would that reverberate in the pychie of these people and cause violence in society? Just think about soldiers with PTSD trying to find their way back into civil life after leaving the military. Now if pressure amounts one could make an arguement for this, but with AIs becoming more and more part of our lives, i would suspect rather one of these taking controll. With this many colonies and some of the techs later mentioned, i would also expect there soon to be a post scarcity society, which makes monitary insensitves null and void. So yes quite insane.
@@kinngrimm However, with a few little tweaks - like say same as joining any Armed Forces, min age of 18 - could even increase to 21, as for gamer side of it, a quick look through stats and game play, will tell you a lot about their gaming style, and whether that will translate to drones in warfare. This could work very nicely, but like a lot of things needs serious thought about its operations. Like you said, you do not want young, impatient gamers controlling millions in Military hardware - or worse still F'ing up an entire battle because they got ''bored' waiting.
@@kinngrimmIt would cause less PTSD. You wouldn't have the same sense of smell, taste, any physical sensations. Not saying our reaper pilots don't have PTSD, it's just a different form of it, usually less severe and life damaging than the vets that saw actual combat. This would be better than sending foot soldiers any day. The system could even have guide rails in place so you can't cause blue on blue damage. Enders Game is pretty much based on this in a way.
@rianmacdonald9454 @@SoundTracx I am not convinced that would be a good thing either. Taking a life should be hard, not easy. Making it easy for civilians to do so, desensitizing the otherwise normal human urge not to do harm to others i would expect to backfire in once own society. I mean just look at the USs murder rates in comparison to other nations, I am pretty sure it has to do with a desensitized populace that just doesn't give a fuck about others. Not talking about the causes for that to be, but the effect. As with many techs, i can see the advantages and i ackowledge that some of what you listed could maybe work to lessen the negativ impacts, but aslong humanity is not in a truely dire situation against overwhelming odds, to me the possible disadvantages can easily outway the advantages. edit: included both of those who addressed me, hopefully yt sends the second guy also a note
Alien Pirate: kills baby in Mommy's arms. Humans... en masse: "You just done made an 'oopsy'. We've been practicing fighting each other for millennia. Now we get to cut loose!"
"When they saw we were Kiddy killers" oh man, poor story character, I haven't listened to the point where the mob comes for him but I'm thinking about the metaphor hitting a bees nest with a stick. Whether you are still alive or not by the end of this narration, Rest in peace
That's the point hes getting across ,, the character doesn't understand how much we cherish our children. The Character is an Alien whos race doesn't cherish their young in the same way we do and learns very quickly the metaphor you mention. Realises just as they are about to die what grave error and anger they have unleashed.
Damn, shooting an infant for being 'Loud'.. Then they hear a mother's death wail, which is arguably the most HAUNTING sound I have ever heard. Yeah, no surprise that pirate got beaten with his own weapon. Hell hath no rage like a mother who's lost her child.
Checking on reddit, writers account suspended. First chapter written 3 years ago. Leaving full story in my youtube scfi pending/ongoing list incase anything else shows up. If so will post back here.
this is brilliant, there great lessons to be learned in this aswell as its super entertaining, i was in the edge of my seat the whole time. i couldnt do anything else but listen. bravo
This is amazing! Somewhere within the first 10 minutes I was totally hooked. I'm now at 24 minutes and have already gotten as much from this story as I normally get after an hour or two of other stories. Thank you for recording and making this available. Such a thrill and joy to experience this.
Very near the end a distance of 30million light years is mentioned. The Milky way is is 105 thousand LY across, it's 2.5 million LY away and the local group cluster of galaxies is 10 million light years across. The local group of is over 30 galaxies, with 3 very large ones: The Milky Way (us), Andromeda, and the Triangulum galaxy.
I just noticed the very short animation within some art frames. I luv it lots ❤👍🏻👍🏻 Kudos to the artists and animators-these are fascinating and beautiful
Pretty damn good. I would have substituted some synonyms in the vocabulary, such species or sentients in place of the widespread use of races in the text. The use of race as a designation is not unwarrented however, just overused in my opinion. That is just one example of what I noticed in the general lexical vocab. Otherwise, it was a highly entertaining & thought provoking narrative. Kudos to the author!
Do NOT think so provincially when looking at ethics, morality, and empathy. That is what the writer is making a point how easy it would be to misunderstand or hard it would be to empathize with another society, species; or even another life form from another planet. Humans, and specifically American’s put quite a bit of resources and value to our mostly helpless infants. A woman may die having one child; so the risks and resources required are quite high. Then Imagine, a species that lays millions of eggs and the children who in nature would die in mass and with technology are selected for survival and occupation. But they could live indefinitely like trees or reptiles. They may value their 2,000 year old helpless elder more than a million infants. Their morality and war cry could be having an exposed mouth part and eating in public; but perfectly fine with eating their own young. Empathy is understanding the values and feelings of someone different than you.
There was an episode of The Outer Limits where the aliens got very angry that a transporter accident left a woman alive at the beam out site instead of killing her. Their ethics require that two people can't be around and so when the transporter makes a copy at the destination, the original is supposed to be killed. I wonder if they would put a hit on identical twins.
There are species that only start caring for their young once they've reached a certain age. These would let the newly born offspring die in the thousands, but accept them once the young have survived to a growth stage, at which point the survivors can reasonably be expected to reach adulthood and procreate. That usually only happens in races that have thousands of offspring. Fish often lay eggs somewhere, males spread their sperm on them and once the young hatch those same mother fish that defended the eggs might just eat some of their offspring - occasionally a lot - because they're hungry. They won't hesitate to eat them for a while either, until the offspring is big enough to become part of a school or at least live using the same strategies as the grown ones. Only then the older ones recognise the offspring as part of the same species. Fun fact - do not read unless you want to hate me for giving this info: biologically and logically the only good explanation for nemo's siblings' death is that their mother ate them all. Clown fish do that.
Stumbled upon this channel , so glad I did. What a great story , I was griped from the very beginning. It's not a stretch to make the Human race the most blood thirsty race in the universe . Had a laugh at that 😂. Because it's true. The pirates shouldn't have killed that child . Hell hath no fury like a mother . How the other species that were our allies, came to realise, we were FFing crazy. And it's too late to put us back in the box 😢. Will be checking out more of your stories . Thanks so much.

It was state sponsored. Like when France, England, Spain and others sponsored pirates, they were called privateers, to attack each other's merchant vessels during the colonization of the America's. Or like when current Gov'ts sponsor PMCs to fight in conflicts globally as proxy to further thier own goals.
@@MrFabulouss If by pirates do you mean those people with AKs who swim around on boats and occasionally confuse a millitary vessel with the cargo ship, then probably.
@leonid that's a little reductive, there's also a ton of piracy in Asian waters, and AK wielding Africans don't make the mistake you're referring to often.
I've got all the Elder Scrolls, and I still play them. Nearly endless possibilities. Pick a version, make a different character and switch up traits, it can be a decently different game every time. It's all I play anymore.
This was a very interesting story and brilliantly written. It leaves you ganging the way it ended. I wonder why RU-vid suspended his account. I hope someday we all get to hear the rest of this story.
YT bots are strange. I follow a demonetized channel that was likely hit by Russian bots. YT is so broken it once banned a channel for showing a fragment of a pic of Michaelangelo's David and calling it adult content.
@@richardarriaga6271 Yeah, you are right! I was watching a Manga Series on a different channel. You know they need to Censor Manga. They missed one or two censoring and were shut down. It is Manga you know Cartoons. It is NOT Hentai! It is Hilarious when YT has a channel called POCKETGIRLS where they are real and show way more!
The author is vastly mistaken near the end of the book when he calls generation ships "Dyson Spheres". Dyson Spheres are not generation ships, they do not move! They are energy gathering structures that surround a whole star to gather the energy from that star.
I have always fantasized about alien incursion and how it might not go so well for the aliens no matter how advanced they are because of one thing. We're bat shit crazy, and when it comes down to it, just give us kerosene and a match, and a swig of scotch and MF here I come, especially if I'm fighting not for myself, but someone I love.
I do have a few problems with this story. 30 million light years is multi galaxy spanning. Our own galaxy, that which our sun resides in, is estimated to be 100,000 light years across. 30 million light years would block off a whole lot of galaxies. If that were the case then a race with that much power is not to be trifled with. The story would be a whole lot more believable had the time barrier been 30,000 light years across. Then the story jumps around a bit at the end first to that transgressing race that destroys a colony world without providing a resolution to that. Is it left as an implied surrender by them? Then it switches back to the barrier portion of the story.
This ends on a cliffhanger. What is on the other side of the void barrier? More content to be written? Or to be narratiated? Or a sequel exists? Or to be written?
It's not a cliffhanger. The story does not need to extend to the heat death of the universe for a satisfying conclusion. The story ends, and we know that humans are going to fight wars for peace and try and make the universe a better place through unity.
wow... i really wish there was more to this story. Had me listening all the way through. took a couple days to get the time but . SO MANY good lines that make you go :O woo
Anyone have a translation of “yippee ki ya” Yea. Is said sometimes during extreme pleasure or ecstasy. Ecstasy? But that only happens during copulation. Why is he experiencing it as he’s falling into battle. Not for humans sir. In the case of humans not only do they experience ecstasy during sexual contact. But also in moments of extreme violence. That is. Err terrifying
A quadrant of space is a section of space of equal volume divided into a grid pattern. The first four will all have the home world as the 0,0 point then add they expand outward you add to the area of known space creating additional grid and quadrants.
2.05.36 at 0.33C an object that big would all but vaporise the planet, 0.033C would still be more than enough to turn most of the crust to a liquid. That is some serious overkill!
Fantasticly funny if you have the right perspective, terrifying if you don't. Curiously accurate assessment of humanity at large. Battle music 🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶🎶🎵 a brilliant tactic reminiscent of Scottish bagpipes and many others that dot our collective history. The concept of the duality of "Man" as War Ape / Peace Demon quite appropriate. Bravo 👏👌
I love this type of fiction so often the trip is how terrible awful cruel and twisted mankind is and …well it’s not all a lie. Some times. Through the eyes of a stranger. We might imagine a way in which they see the best of us and what we strive to be. They don’t remember all our scraped knees and stuttered lines. But instead they see us. At our best and for a moment judge us the way we want the universe to see us. I think that’s why there are so many like this. Why it shines as a true and resonate theme. Believe. If we endure the trials. One day we will ascend to the heavens and they shall be in awe of us.
Corporations are not your friend or family. They will never do you a favor. They are designed to the the least for their labor force to maximize profits. And if you cant catch them in a lie through the proof in your contract, they will get away with every little screw of you they can. No favors for those who offer none.
"Revered Speaker" is what the Kelan Confederacy calls their leader? Interesting, as that was also the title of the Mexica (Aztec) ruler: in Nahuatl, "Uey-Tlatoani."
FINALLY A STORY THAT HAS MENTIONED THE JAPANESE well in some way Not only is the irony present the brutality is to if you know what I mean *cough- unit 13-
