Just a heads up , I will be doing the latest 4 parts of the Pretty Little Deathworlders series over the next week. if you want to rewatch or get up to date here is the playlist. ua-cam.com/play/PLcfzFNUhrNS2mwNi550UNlbxFDluS2PVx.html
Reminds me of the back cover of my copy of the first book of the Man-Kzin Wars. The Kzinti soon learned why Man had vowed to learn war no more. They were very, **very** good at it.
@@gregoryfolsom7882 I remember first contact with the Kzin involved a Kzin ship starting shit with an unarmed human science vessel resulting in the humans focusing their engine flare through a telescope to create a laser canon to destroy the Kzin ship...
The interesting thing about what happens when someone is shot or stabbed is not only how much adrenaline they have, but what they "think" happens when one gets shot. If someone thinks that getting shot with a 45 will knock them on their back, that will happen. Other people will keep moving bc they don't think one bullet can kill them. That's why in most professional militaries, the way we're drilled to kill is to shoot at human-shaped targets twice in the chest and once in the head (or groin). The reason is that supersonic bullets create catastrophic temporary cavities in the body, but when two of them happen, it instantly sends the body into shock regardless of how the mind thinks it will react; untreated shock will kill someone just as well as anything. The bullet to the head or groin is there to make sure the person stops moving. See, it doesn't matter how strong or determined you are if your pelvis can't support your muscles' pulling on them. The shot to the pelvis has gone out of fashion lately, though, because at the range when two follow-up shots is more than likely, it only takes a few months to teach a soldier to hit the head more than 80% of the time at 10m with a standard service rifle. Anyway, the more you know! ^_^
Aliens attack human ship. Kill crew and throw cargo into sun out of spite. Everyone else: Moves to stay the Hell away from the massive target now on the backs of the offenders.
@@wolfoffenris9951 and all the fingers, tentacles, claws and a myriad of other appendages point in the direction of the offenders in silent terrified, horror and fear.
The reason for the adrenaline response might be "fight or flight" but at some point it becomes "taking you down with me" and judging by our history with last stands, we are ok with this.
We don’t die peacefully when we are beaten. We could have all our limbs ripped off and the final thing we will is bit our enemies. I truly believe as a species humans are a war race that doesn’t like war
"Others being afraid of you" and "others being afraid of what is coming for you" are two very different concepts. Some xenos needed to learn that lesson.
Man, all of these aliens out there have their brains tell them "Rest now, you've gone enough" when they're near dying, but my brain goes *"Wake the fuck up Samurai, We've got a City to Burn".*
Hello, i'm the author of Survival. Actually what I had been thinking about. I was in the army for awhile, now I work in healthcare- you'd be surprised how much a person can lose before they actually die lol
@@jd4083 i am still amazed at the stories of elderly people refusing to die, as i am at the stories of healty youngsters dying for no apparent reason. Keep up the great work :D
@@jd4083 had a guy in my platoon get hit with the million dollar wound... if you know you know... he kept advancing and fighting until his Sergent noticed he was bleeding. It's a responsibility of the squad leader to make sure his guys are OK. Whenever there is a lul in combat, typicaly the fire line will be prone and aiming in thier sector of fire.. The squad leader goes between his soldiers and ask if they are OK, and while asking about thier status on ammo, water, and confirming thier sector of fire, the leaders are to rub thier hands firmly across the soldiers arms, inside the back of the armor plate carrier and down thier legs to check for blood. When you are hopped up on adrenaline while bullets are whizzing in the immediate face of the thought in the back of your mind that every breathe you take could be your last. Your senses are super heightened, you look and think fast and furiously. Seconds can feel like an hour. All the while you lose the sense of pain. You could be running on a leg with a bullet hole in it and just be wondering why you lost the strength in your steps. P.S: If anyone doesn't know and read this far, the million dollar shot can refer to any non life threatening injury, considered lucky, but typicaly associated with being shot in the ass. He was shot in the ass from the side. Literally split the muscle if his left buttocks as if he had been sliced with a butcher knife.
The first story is like a busy bar. People ale laughing, drinking, and there is one or more bar fights going on. Humans are helping a drunk friend to the cab when the new guy walks up and lay the friend out. There is a stunned silence. The fights stop. Then an area opens up. The new guy thinks this is respect for him. Truth is the patrons don't want to be collateral damage from what's about to happen. A painful lesson is going to be learned: don't pick fights with the quiet ones.
Alien: *gets shot in the heart, dies* Human: *gets shot in the heart* Well, guess I’ll have to speed run this fight, hey Siri, play The BFG Division soundtrack.
@@Hektols That’s the joke, a shot in the heart can take up to a couple of minutes until the person collapses, and another couple until they die. That’s the whole point of the “speed run” comment.
Hello, i'm the author of Survival. Coincidentally, I tend to write a lot when I am in a bad place- its an outlet. Also, my more depressing stories seem to do a whole lot better lol
well at the end basically greets a new employee wich was the previous Prime Minister of that race, and for what it's stated, is one of few remaining compared to before the war
Tell the humans that the sea is behind the enemies and if they don't hurry they'll take the best spots and pick the music. That would motivate us enough to charge at the enemy in a very... violent way..
I love the fact that every now and then he starts talking about wood. Carpentry is such a great hobby. Obviously, he is trying to not think about the insanity that is humanity.
I see you are a fellow reader of First Contact as well. Behold. Humanity. A bunch of angry screaming lemurs fighting tooth and nail against a cold universe who'll take everything they hold dear.
Human naval officer in an interview after the resulting punitive actions: "Well, we DID promise to send medical supplies and humanitarian aid to our clients by the deadline, and by God, we will keep that promise, even if we had to synthesize new medical supplies from the refined biochem sludge that we made by dragging those civvie-killers kicking and screaming into our biomatter refabricators. Ah, it warms my heart to know their screams of agony would herald the saving of more innocent lives and better treatment of the underprivileged."
Which one though? There are 2 large deserts that I can think of... The Sahara which is acknowledged as the largest or The Gobi which is expanding eastward

given that the hostile ales prime minister was also now making coffins, it's also got a strong element of 'Not enough of them left alive to bury their dead.'
Alien - I shot him and now he is dying. Time to loot the... Human - still alive. Next alien - lost an arm and multiple wounds to chest. Time to loot both... Human - still alive. How does their radio work? Third alien - no arms. No legs. He has to be... Second human - how did the third alien die? First human with bloddy grin- bit his legs off.
Imagine an alien species that due to maybe biology or any other condition that shapes life was completely peaceful , never waged wars , maybe their population is small due to living on tidally locked planet. And then they meet humanity with our 8000 years of written culture full of wars, heroes, monsters real or else, descriptions of violence and chaos. They would almost certainly would consider us a warrior race.
As a Russian I don't even have to imagine - Chinese literally call us 战斗民族 (warrior nation) :D. Though, it's just a meme, they just compare us to some kind of fictional race from an anime series, as far as I know. But there are also real warrior nations, I can remember at least three of them immediately: 1. Tuvans. They are basically like Monghols, but more aggressive. Fun fact: during WWII Tuva was the first country to declare a war on Nazi Germany, after it attacked the Soviet Union. Nowadays Tuva is part of Russian Federation and our minister of defence is Tuvan. 2. Chukchi aka Lygoravetl'et ("true humans" in Chukchi language). Unfortunately, there are not many of them left and they don't fight anymore, but in XVII-XVIII centuries they considered themselves to be the only true humans and all the other people in their eyes were either slaves or prey. They are one of the reasons why Siberian tribes joined Russia wilfully - Russian colonists promised protection from Chukchi. 3. Chechens. They still have some remnants of early medieval society structures, with heavy emphasis on tribal identity, honor and blood feuds (the latter is forbidden, but many Chechens are not really into following "the Russian laws"). But don't think of them as technologicaly backward in any way, they are pretty modern in this regard. Currently we're using them as ground forces in Syria, because the are muslim and it helps in communication with locals.
There's another story about a race whose government contacted a horror writer whose work was seen as too vile to be sold in certain stay systems. And they had him write and rewrite a fictional history with a dark twist, trying to make them seem despicable. Eventually they have him read from a book. And after throwing up a few times, he asks if whatever mind came up with it was still alive. Then the ball drops. It wasn't fiction. It was factual history. And they wanted him to write something on par with that alien races history to make them seem menacing too because that race was about to discover ftl travel. He gave up on that task and fled to as far away as he could. He left with a warning to never read anything titled "The history of Earth" and never try to engage with any being known as a "human".
@@phasepanther4423 i mean there is one truly scary idea, that we might be the firstborn of the universe, first truly advanced species, imagine a movie where all characters are xeno, they speak about some ancient race of precursors , they look for them , find like a vault or something, they open it by mistake and awoke sleeping humans, i would pay to see the idea that humanity is the scary race in sci fi instead of punching bag that has to pull off something stupid to win
5:35 I believe the word you're looking for is Saint, Martyr, or Elder. A Zealot was a radical Jewish political faction committed to a radical revolution of independence from Rome. Jude was the brother of Jesus who was a major elder in the early Christian church.
@@Erraddo We kind of need both kidneys though, at least with the way first world and third world countries live. Decadence damages as much if not more than squalor, simply because you don't die in decadence until you go too far or god decides to go old testament again.
@@Erraddo Not particularly, but you're losing out on a lot of offspring/recreation time. And spoiling your grandkids to get back at your kids for being brats.
"Tis but a flesh wound!" or "You, don't want to do that [shoot him], you'll just make Mongo angry." A whole species that evolved from and has distant relatives that are violent and angry, and who as a group and individual do not want to be called/considered to be a wussy.
Stop an aid ship, murder its crew and brag about it to everyone in space. The Humans smiled, stopped communicating, the warlike race near them and others moved far away from human space, fast and completely. They know that the Human smiling when angry is very bad news. It is the smile of an Omnivore/Carnivore/Predator who is taking up the hunt. Never finding any human enemies but only human allies, should have been a clue. But they were nice enough to give a coffin making factory owner a lucrative contract, got to give the dead enemies a decent coffin, don't ya know!
A variety in voices would be nice. You nail old being voices, but sometimes it's hard to destinguish them apart. You are getting better tho! Today was lovely! Great reading :)
It takes time to get the intonation right, i have detected different intonations in his newer videos, but its probably a major strain on his throat, however he is actually pretty good... even if his voice makes my speakers crackle
The zydraxi: we destroyed the ship fed the humans to the fusion engines and shot the supplies into the nearest star Humanity: smile and close communications The other aliens: “fuck this shit I’m out”
For the Author! For the Story! For Alg O'Rythem! For da Skwerrl!!! What is this "clean mug" for ingesting stimulants? A mug that is intact does suffice.
The title of the first story made me think about what may happen if humanity were to meet its gods. Would we bow or would we spit in their face and burn them in nuclear hellfire
So all aliens have this mechanism to ignore pain when hurt while humans have the opposite. So our boddies instead of telling us "hey, you can ignore this!" Is telling us "hey! Something is wrong over here you may want to check that" and that is way more usefull
When Canada actually deploys it's military in force, the enemy always run. They know they fucked up. Not because of how nice the Canadian people or even the diplomats can be. No, its because they know or soon learn just how ferocious Canadian soldiers can be. See their exploits in WW1, WW2, Korea, and how damn terrified the Taliban were of them in Afghanistan.
aww...xeno dock endures half a life of all the blood and gore the void and none compatible biology can cause.... only for the cosmos to grin at him and toss humans his way as a Ace in the sleve to make the bugger toss up his tenderils XD
Along with the human aid workers, the baddies killed the woodworking alien's ambassador when they destroyed the St. Jude. So, when the humans got majorly pissed off, the woodworking alien got the contract to make the coffins for the baddies once they got rightfully schwacked by very pissed off humans, and the first story was basically a letter to the baddie's ambassador saying "lol sucks to be you"
Hey really like what your doing, probably watched like 50 of your videos this week so far. One note, you make a lot of mistakes and improvisations when narrating the stories. Changing obviously wrong grammer and missing/wrong words is great tho dont stop that. Not trying to be negative, just notes for you, would like you to improve/ continue
@@AgroSquerril Sure. It’s weird but I think it’s the pauses and the high notes when you begin a new line. I don’t know. It sucks, too, because you have a good voice. It’s just the cadence that seems to cause a disconnect. Best of luck with your channel. We need more readers.
Just a heads up , I will be doing the latest 4 parts of the Pretty Little Deathworlders series over the next week. if you want to rewatch or get up to date here is the playlist.

"Tis but a flesh wound!" or "You, don't want to do that [shoot him], you'll just make Mongo angry." A whole species that evolved from and has distant relatives that are violent and angry, and who as a group and individual do not want to be called/considered to be a wussy.
It also seams like our world has higher gravity then the average. This means we would be considered stronger and more durable then they should be

Wait until aliens find out about cauterizations and what bonesetters do.
i was kinda expecting a quote of a human saying something akin to" my you liquidified my arm, i just had it replaced"
Stop an aid ship, murder its crew and brag about it to everyone in space.
The Humans smiled, stopped communicating, the warlike race near them and others moved far away from human space, fast and completely.
They know that the Human smiling when angry is very bad news.
It is the smile of an Omnivore/Carnivore/Predator who is taking up the hunt.
Never finding any human enemies but only human allies, should have been a clue.
But they were nice enough to give a coffin making factory owner a lucrative contract, got to give the dead enemies a decent coffin, don't ya know!
A variety in voices would be nice. You nail old being voices, but sometimes it's hard to destinguish them apart. You are getting better tho! Today was lovely! Great reading :)
glad you enjoyed. Working on more of a selection of voices but it takes time to get them to stick
@@AgroSquerril I'm sure you can get it to work. Lookimg forward to the day you do a little girl voice xD
It takes time to get the intonation right, i have detected different intonations in his newer videos, but its probably a major strain on his throat, however he is actually pretty good... even if his voice makes my speakers crackle

The title of the first story made me think about what may happen if humanity were to meet its gods.
Would we bow or would we spit in their face and burn them in nuclear hellfire
Both? Both, both sounds good.

So all aliens have this mechanism to ignore pain when hurt while humans have the opposite. So our boddies instead of telling us "hey, you can ignore this!" Is telling us "hey! Something is wrong over here you may want to check that" and that is way more usefull
Yup, we most definetly are Space Canadians with a hint of yankee
lol
Maybe just a dab of Doom Slayer.
When Canada actually deploys it's military in force, the enemy always run. They know they fucked up. Not because of how nice the Canadian people or even the diplomats can be. No, its because they know or soon learn just how ferocious Canadian soldiers can be. See their exploits in WW1, WW2, Korea, and how damn terrified the Taliban were of them in Afghanistan.
So the Space British then.
Maybe with more tea trade and freeing of slaves.

Along with the human aid workers, the baddies killed the woodworking alien's ambassador when they destroyed the St. Jude.
So, when the humans got majorly pissed off, the woodworking alien got the contract to make the coffins for the baddies once they got rightfully schwacked by very pissed off humans, and the first story was basically a letter to the baddie's ambassador saying "lol sucks to be you"

Hey really like what your doing, probably watched like 50 of your videos this week so far. One note, you make a lot of mistakes and improvisations when narrating the stories. Changing obviously wrong grammer and missing/wrong words is great tho dont stop that. Not trying to be negative, just notes for you, would like you to improve/ continue

Your reading style is difficult for me to keep track of.
Sorry to hear that , but thank you for trying
@@AgroSquerril Sure. It’s weird but I think it’s the pauses and the high notes when you begin a new line. I don’t know. It sucks, too, because you have a good voice. It’s just the cadence that seems to cause a disconnect.
Best of luck with your channel. We need more readers.
