So, the aliens were terrified what might happen if they attacked the humans? Then the entire training exercise was a success and peace will continue in the universe.
Bits like this always remind me of a quote that I believe is from the "Man Kzin War" series. " At first they thought mankind would be an easy target because they had long since stopped practicing war. What they didn't realize was that we had stopped practicing war because we were so god damn good at it."
I sometimes wonder if the reason surrounding UFO secrecy might be that we’re already engaged in a secret interstellar war. I find it interesting that there are so few leaks from inside these programs, which tells me that they aren’t real, or that they are kept secret so successfully because it’s important to keep them secret. The only people who do seem to come forward are people not directly involved. I often wonder if the situation isn’t similar to what the storyline of the Stargate series and that we may be allied with some more advanced civilizations against some malevolent civilizations, and despite the fact that we’re not as technologically advanced, our deep experience with warfare might be why we’ve been recruited to help. Kind of like how the Asgard recruit humans to fight the Replicators because we have “slug throwers” that are effective against such as enemy and we come up with strategies the Asgard don’t think of. Somehow I could see such a situation occurring and it might make sense out of what’s happening. It would be interesting if Stargate was a description of what’s actually happening to a degree, but released to create plausible deniability in reality. But that’s just speculation.
"The Mote In God's Eye." I loved the sadness the protagonists felt, when they found out that Crazy Eddie had come all that way to ask US, "How do we stop killing ourselves?" Of all the species in the Universe...
I had an idea for something just like this: Imagine a human from our time being frozen or whatever and ended up waking up in the 24th century in Star Trek. Now take that modern human to a holosuite like in DS9 and have him recreate the game Left4Dead 2 in it. Imagine the shock and horror people would have with all the brutal carnage, death and destruction that passed for 'entertainment' back in the day. I'd bet even the Klingons would be taken aback.
The Rod From God program was was dropped because the damage the rods caused wasn't any worse than a standard warhead and they cost alot more. They went with beam weapons instead.
They dropped it because it was much cheaper and just as good to find a suitable asteroid of the right size and strap a maneuvering and guidance package on it. What do you think that space plane that's been on a mission for over 2 years has been doing? lol
@@timehaley your talking complete crap, that mini shuttle isnt even close to being capable of collecting an astoroid, it could not even get out of earth orbit. Thats most likely a spy plane with potentially small anti sat capabilities, it stays in orbit for long periods.
I enjoyed the story thank you - I didnt pick up on the ai voice as I watch youtube at double speed im getting old and I want to see as much as I can before I die. I read the comments about the ai voice which I didnt notice due to the speed I have it set at, I slowed it down to normal and I can understand what people was saying. Im legally blind so can not read much myself anymore. I am using a huge tv screen attached to my computer, thats the only way I can make text big enough for me to read.
@j.campbell FOR NOW but two things to consider. First Earth orbit as a tactical space is simply too important to leave unused. For a variety of reasons. Second an orbital weapon can easily be disguised as a commercial satellite. So long as it is transmitting and orbiting the globe normally. No one planet side would be the wiser. I suspect the U.S. and any other country with the wealth and means to do so probably has such weapons in orbit as we speak. With the rise of the Space Force that number for America may have increased over the past few years for all we know.
Not exactly, there are only treaty’s to prevent the deployment of an orbital nuclear weapon on to the earth’s surface, anything else such as conventional payloads and kinetic weapons are free game
I remember a short story about aliens coming to earth and demanding we abandon the northern hemisphere for them and the ambassador talking to the aliens said we'd need time to mount such an invasion of the southern hemisphere believeing if they showed the aliens war footage they'd decide we were to much of a hassle and just leave. So they showed them footage from wars and such throught history and the aliens kept asking for more and more. Then eventually said we didn't have to abandon the northern hemisphere but we weren't allowed to attack eachother anymore, we were now mercenaries for them.

Again a good story, im likin the series. Although the cut-offs by the AI with some sentences can make following along a bit more difficult. Perhaps dubbing the video would make things more managable.
Yea I am sorry about the audio I have been trying to tweak it to get it to sound less flat. I am also looking for a good caption program with the words highlighted I just can't find one I can get at the moment.
@@ALLSciFi88 I like when it's several rows of text scrolling, because it's easier to find what You missed compare to one page of text or just a few words, if You like to reread a sentence.
@@ALLSciFi88 Yeah, it really needs work. Mispronouncing some words, like "lead", make it seems really off. If you could at least stick the text on screen at all, even without the fancy highlighting or scrolling, it would help. Why not just read it yourself instead of the AI?
@jodysmoviesandshowschannel8698 honestly I'm not the greatest reading out loud but I am looking for a affordable CC with the highlighted words when being said I'm having a difficult time finding one.

Meanwhile the colonel: “it’s a shame I had to stop the presentation halfway through; I didn’t even get to the CBRN stuff!”
He would have stroked out if they observed a basic training unit going through the tear gas.

Except for that one planet of mimes and furrys that's unfortunately going to have to go.

"Practically developed violence as an art form..." Uhhhhhhh, sure we'll go with that. *Hides decades of Hollywood and videogame content*
Movies, series and video games are art.
@@ireallyreallyhategoogle that was my point. We didn't practically develop violence as an art form we literally did.

When we have lots of starships, such weapons will be cheap. You just need a big chunk of metal to drop, gravity would do the rest
It's costly because it needs to get to orbit. Once we begin to mine and craft in space it would become dirty cheap.

Very difficult and energy intensive to redirect one from its orbit as well.
thank god they still have chilli mac in the future.
Who says this took place in the future ? Bwahahahaha !

Nothing to fear but fear itself.. And humans!
And spiders
Not to mention that international treaties are in place that prohibit orbital to ground weapons being deployed, at least on paper that is.

LOL good catch!!!!
Great story
No more robovoices
Good story, bad bot
would be nice if there are readable text. also, seems the sentences get cut off from time to time
The question is. Will they correct the voice? Or keep using it, start using this cadence, pronunciations in movies to change society to it?
I love humanity, holy humanity.
Yeah the verbal pacing on the AIs reading is pretty crap. I can suss out where the pauses and stops should be, but it makes this presentation difficult to enjoy.
I would have given a thumbs up if it had not been for the AI voice reading.
Give it a few years I'm the only voices you'll hear is AI
Did the audio jump and skip words for you as well?
Sounds like AI wrote it as well.
Yeah it was pretty bad.
Good story, bad AI narrator
The Zarbon moan was perfect

kind of ironic on a HFY story right?
@@muffinlordghoti1 AI voice is still lame , I want a human voice
@@nilo70 I think you've misinterpreted me. HFY is "Humanity F Yeah". Thus the irony of an inhuman narrator.
I want to listen to some guy rackin his junk on a rail after biffing an ollie
Have he seen the soldiers painting the grass in green?
Dear God the AI voices now saturate youtube. I downvote any AI automatically. You want a good channel? Put in a lil effort and fuckin narrate it.
Agro is the man for hfy .
Whats with all the cut off sentences?
It's the shitty text to voice computer program
Showed Chaos Mathematics? A.K.A War Mathematics?
what's your feeling on pronunciation corrections?
AI software is as good as the Biden administration.
FWIW, tell the narrator (or the AI, I can't tell anymore) chitenous is pronounced kie-ten-us, not chee-ten-is
and that when you "rain lead" ,lead is pronounced as led, not leed
Si vis pacem, para bellum.
Sometimes that is the only way. If you like the story like and subscribe I post daily you will always have something to put on.
I assume this is voiced by an AI. You really gotta give these a listen before posting.
So, where is the original story
Dude, I KNOW you got this from r/HFY, and you didn't even post the damn link?
All of my stories are original.
Well, damn, you should post it there then, this story is awesome @@ALLSciFi88
@@ALLSciFi88Nice work.😊
The text to speech needs to go, human voices are best.
The cutting of the voice over needs much work.
Yea this one had a few issues with the audio sorry about that they are not all like this my newer stories have better audio.
No Panzers
sad
Many of these stories are horrible. What was the conflict and how was it resolved?
