    Podcast is Called : ASN Humans Are Space Orcs , HFY and other stories
    --------------
    This Story is Classified as HFY or Humanity Feck, Yea , but what does the Mean?
    -------------
    HFY is a story/series that takes a “human element” in either humanity or an “other” (race/species or object) that exists in a “setting” (future or other world/universe) with varying levels of culture, technology, society and history that help show in some shape or form the potential good or bad for humanity’s race/culture. In These stories Humans are often referred to as Human, Humanity, Deathworlder, Hellwolder in reference to the human planet of origin , Earth. This planet is seen by most of the universe as a place where only death and chaos can survive.
    -------------
    Taken from the FAQ of the r/HFY subreddit.
    Humans Are Space Orcs (HASO) or Humans Are (Fantasy Race) Are used as a guide when writing.
    In these Stories we normally View humans like the other races view orcs in a Fantasy Novel. We (Humans) share the same characteristics and personalities as orcs. Humans are normally treated as the outsiders and barbarians. Humans tend to be underestimated as well in these stories. Unlike Humanity Feck Yea , these don't always put a positive spin on humans\humanity sometimes looking at the darker side of human and humanity from the perspective of aliens.

      Plus, how are we going to live with ourselves if we don't do something. I would guarantee every member of the crew was thinking about their kids and of them being in this situation. A whole sentient species wiped out by psychos if we don't act. Death is preferable to living with that. At that point all you can do is fire the engines up and turn to your crew and say, "Helm, Interception course.."

      Humans are as varied as the species in these stories. Not every human is selfless and willing to sacrifice themselves to protect others but some are. We see it every day, when the media actually bothers to cover it of course.

    There is a reason most Captains REALLY like some weapons on board. It’s a shame most foreign ports do not allow ships to have defensive weapons. Even if secured in locked cabinets, w/ a port padlock in addition to ship lock. A semi auto 308 might cause small boats from trying to board. But Ma Deuce would really cause consideration

    It sounds as if even though the Taurians are not people with a martial mindset, they are relatively technologically advanced, at least compared to humans. A fitting way to return the favor that cost the humans their lives while giving their species a chance at having a life would be to share whatever technology they may have with the humans. After all the humans are friendly towards them, and will have angered the Benedrayans. Who may try to take their frustrations out on the humans. However the humans are a people with a martial mindset and with any advancements they may get would be more able to show any Benedayans what Hapheestus was best known for. He forged the weapons of the Gods.

    Thank you for all you do. I have been working my way through some memory issues over the last few years and have found reading with audio to be very helpful. As I looked for content creators who provide both visual and audio narration I stumbled across one from you. A person reincarnated as a dungeon I believe it was. I was hooked being half nerd and half science geek I found it both engaging and entertaining. I think I have watched most of not all of your content and look forward to the next.
