Hope everyone has a good weekend! :)
Thank you, you as well!!! Great work yet again!
have a good one!
Awesome story. So good. I didn't know how much I liked these NASA stories until I found your channel. Thanks man. Lee
Hii dark somi , ive been an avid fan for years now and i think this is the right time for me to ask you to put " How my boring Neighborhood Turned into a Horror Sci-fi " from the dark gathering reddit to Life , it seems like you are the only one who can achieve the atmosphere and immersion the story gives off , i love you dark somnium and when you decide to give it a shot , know that my life will be complete and id be very honored , have a nice day !
I love the space creepypastas

ROFL!
🤣 Thank you for that 😊🤣🤣🤣
I find it funny that stories about aliens and other planets fail to take the disease potential into account. Like if we need to take vaccines and meds before we travel to other countries... wouldn’t it make sense other planets and like aliens also have to follow the same logic? Alien rona or accidentally spreading invasive species are 💯 certain to happen without proper procedures being taken
@@DisabledPsychedelica
Personality-wise, aliens are either 'destruction' or 'peaceful'
@@uuddlrlrabsmhm8430 bro ikr, its like we dont think aliens have a bit more complexity rather than being one or the other.
Is it strange that the most unbelievable part of this story to me is that they conveniently "forgot" to take any weapons along for the trip?... I mean, it is the US military.
Haha true xD
NASA funded the project. It was an exploration mission. Which was stated.
@@SoshiSSx huh, that's strange. the last time America go on a "peace mission" they carry enough weapons to topple a country.
@@far_centrist Oh you're one of those people
@@lucasmcdurfee2374 if by one of "those people" you meant a realist, Thank you!
That aside tho, it make sense for a company of us military secret mission to carry some weapons, even onto space, in case of hijacking or other unforseen circumstances. Thinking back, the story itself has a lot of plot holes as well as unnecessary details that doesnt contribute to the story as well. So the op question/statement makes sense.

Random bullshit but it keeps repeating...
I don’t even need to correct you. Seems like everyone else is already doing that.
The most important rule when creating science fiction is, never specifically discuss the science. You will inevitably get the science wrong and now you're left with a fictional book based on unreasonable magic. Many books and TV shows have learned their lesson and have done a good job avoiding the "science" part of science fiction. This is fairly well done.
Isn't time dilation somehow not taken in account here? if they are traveling at the speed of light or even above, they may take 2 months for this journey from earths perspective, but wouldn't they be there instantly from theirs? correct me, i wanna know 😂
You can explain any science you want in science fiction because it's science fiction not fact what has not happened in our world can happen in any world you create.
@@Mrcreeperdead No because Light also has a speed they are going faster then light but not teleporting FTL is not instant trsmation.
@@theunitedcommonwealth715 you didnt get my point at all. I am talking about relativistic effects which occur when you are moving relative to another i.e. object. The faster/heavier you are, the more those effects become appearent.
If they are moving at lightspeed, or even above, while the trip took place for a couple of months from earths perspective, the spaceship itself should have experienced close 0 seconds of traveltime. If you would look at the interior of the spaceship with a gigantic telescope, time would slow down the faster you were going. once you approach light speed, time on the spaceship would basically stand still, but only when regarded from outside of the ship as a relative spectator, the passengers would start the engines and be there, with a lightspeed ship that is.
Alle Angaben ohne Gewähr.
@@Mrcreeperdead
A FTL drive would most likely work through some loophole, it wouldn't actually move faster then (the speed of) light, it would get somewhere earlier then something traveling at the speed of light would.
Think of a turtle and Usain Bolt racing on a circular track, the turtle can cross the finish line first, by turning around and walking 10 steps back, but at no point it even moved close to Usain Bolt did.
An example of a proposed method of FTL travel would be a wormhole, which is pretty close to just taking a shortcut.
So using a hypothetical FTL drive time dilation probably wouldn't be a problem, whether or not it's possible to build something like that is.
If however you use a super fast conventional drive, you could get to Proxima Centaury in what from your POV appears to be less then 4 years. But from observers on earth you would still take 4 years or longer due to time dilation. Also in that case from your POV you're still not moving faster then light, in fact light is still moving away from you at C however it would appear as if the distance to Proxima Centaury is shorter. From earth it's like your moving very close to the speed of light.
It's really confusing TBH but basically,
conventional travel = time dilation
FTL travel = probably no time dilatation, but maybe time travel, maybe completely impossible, maybe other problems
The Alcubierre drive used in this story MIGHT actually work BUT probably only for traveling slower then light, BUT maybe very close to the speed of light without time dilation ???? (anyone know if a STL Alcubierre drive would suffer from time dilation)
"Behind him was a bookshelf, full of books"
This here is concrete, made of concrete.
I would love to edit some of these people's stories, I was literally thinking the same thing. Volumes, tomes...use a thesaurus people!
Or describe the contents - full of scientific material, ranging from common upper level textbooks to theories that had been disproven, and a few the main character hadn't heard of?
@@shaarinya6932 Not even that, as it would be rhetorical. "A shelf full of books, among other things." The author didn't seem to edit their story at all.
A bookshelf doesn't have to have books on it, it can be empty.
@@shaarinya6932 please don’t encourage the one who wrote this to look at a thesaurus. They’re already doing the “he asked, I answered, they enquired, she stated” thing and it’s making me want to hunt them for sport.
Man when they gonna say "i was in the space force" in these stories
When china attacks
Or russia
Very soon I'm sure
Oh that's never gonna happen, The Biden administration donated the spaceforce to Uganda to support diversity and equality.
@@ATSucks1 wtf
Hi this is muffin, the author. Thanks for narrating this! I’m slowly but surely working on a part 2. Thanks for the love everyone
Love a good scfi story, keep up the good work
Why did the pulse turn one person at a time?
You should look through the comments for some constructive criticism. It’s got potential but could use some work.
Hi I loved your story. Please do make another one related to space because space is so mysterious that it's scary
Great story! 😊
“She had eyes like diamonds”
What, small, hard, and colourless? No wonder they sent her to the other side of the universe, sounds creepy as fuck.
No, They Obviously Meant That Her Eyes Were Crystallized, Made Of Solid Carbon, Mixed In With Deep-Earth Rocks, And Might Be Misidentified Zircon.
Maybe her eyes had perfect cleavage planes.
@@AndrewChumKaser Oh there were cleavage planes on her, alright...
@@monkeybusiness673 bruh…😂😂😂
No I think they meant that they were surprisingly common yet overhyped enough to cost arm and a leg, would fetch a good price
I guess I wasn't as big of a fan of the "suddenly, monsters" part of this story. It felt like a bit too much of a twist to be taken seriously.
Yea i was expecting the star to start heading towards earth and devour the planet
@@Egghead012 Hellstar Remina ?
@@Liam-ix3ui another person who know thath helish thing
Glad I wasn't alone in that department.
Not only that but it felt like a lot of build up just be like "and suddenly there was monsters and everyone died. The end".
A Dead space reference, the star is a fully mature brethren moon
Was about to comment exactly this
I legit commented that a second ago before I even looked at the comment section as soon as they said that sun was organic I knew it was a Brethren Moon
Yep that’s what I thought too
Kinda disappointed that one of the crew just magically transformed into a monster. I was really into the story til that point.
Yeah it really went downhill from that point forward.
You have to read the second part
The monster is actually the rake's cousin and then Jeff the killer comes and saves them.
So not a fan of humans becoming monsters I take it 😂
Same here. I hope the author decides to continue this, there was so much potential. This could be an amazing series
I heard this many weeks ago
"What she lacks in height she makes up for in intelligence."
Me as a short person: Why does height matter so much?! 😑
Because of the top shelves 😉😂
@@wolfoffenris9951 😂😂😂
Think of it like a mountain and a hiker lol
@@jeebanjeeban87 It was a joke more so than me being offended. I am too old to actually let such simple things bother me.
Sincerely a 34 year old with a college education.
@@AllTheButtons87 nice to see some people in this world still have humor 😊, wish you the best 😁
And as a soldier I have to say, being smal has advantages, they have to dig much less with there foxholes for example 😂
theory: the crew actually didn't mutate, the length of their stay in space and being far away from Earth caused them to go paranoid and delirious, thus perceiving each member of their crew turning into monsters
I like this theory
Doesn't explain the claw marks and the fact they all hallucinated the same member going Necromorph on them.
Wouldn't they start hallucinating the SECOND they saw eachother? And it would be a FFA instead of one mutating at a time?
@@harutothefriendlyodst7639 I mean theoritically, if the first dude started behaving animal-like, and they were all suffering from hallucinations and delusions, they might imagine him turning into a monster, and then just think they'll eventually turn into one too. The claw marks possibly don't exist, or they can simply be smear marks from fingers.
@Michael Anderson posted this one twice, my guy
@@stormy2913 sometimes youtube duplicates comments
"My body had never been tested like that, even in the Air Force", lol.
😂
yeah, that gave me little chuckle too
To be fair, while most of us would have to only outrun the yearly PT evaluation, test pilots were a different breed altogether.
Those insane bastards physical prowess would have put today's mort hardened marine to shame.
Deep space stories always scare me the most. The unfathomable vastness of space makes me super anxious just thinking about it
It never fails to amuse me in stories like this how the ship only ever has one person for each job, no chain of command, things like that. The lack of weapons because it's "a mission of exploration" is also funny.
This was interesting. Based on what happened, I'm assuming that, somehow, the message was sent back in time.
There are some things I don't quite understand. Namely why/how the pulse was able to mutate people one at a time, but also as to what exactly happened.
I have a theory that they weren't at their actually destination. Going off of most science fiction stuff, primarily Star Wars Legends, faster than light travel is pretty much a gamble unless you know what's ahead of you. One particular danger is the event that you could end up in another dimension, which might have been what happened to the protagonist and his team. If that's the case, there's no telling what they stumbled across, possibly a cosmic entity lurking in the deepest parts of space.
The entity was troll asf , i like the maturity of this story though , it goes to show that sometimes our fate is just kinda sealed in some situations and theres literally no way to have a different cheesy outcome ( although i wish he had a romantic moment with elizabeth tho ) , im guessing the star is like a massive invasive cosmic creature that consumes matter and may also feed via star burst and making feral minions from organic victims it fed/consumed upon as byproduct.
@@universetrigger2316 agreed.
Maybe the pulse had intelligence and deliberately mutated one person at a time in order to cause chaos.
It'd be no fun if it mutated everyone at the same time.
Ok, so how do we know the message went back in time. I don't get that part.
What about how the message made it back to earth (us)? Shouldn’t that mean they not in alternate universe ?
For a space marine this is a walk in the park
For an Imperial Guardsman this is Tuesday.
@@priestofslaanesh9000 bro this is like going on leave for them
They'd love it! Bored, with no xenos to purge, when suddenly a guardsman mutates. The Space Marines would be like "Finally."
For doom slayer this is a vacation
@@lockheedmartinf-22raptor73funny I was picturing the monster kinda like the quiet place monster with a elongated archville head
Just started listening, but come on... Apparently of the 4 people of humanity's best, sent on a super-important and ground-breaking journey across the stars counts amongs them a guy who literally knows nothing about the workings of the spacecraft? Come on.
Amongs
Creepypastas tend to be very flawed at times
To add to this, did they ever even say why Lizzie With The Eyes Like Diamonds was going on the trip? The introductions were just like “this one was the best scientific mind of the generation, this one was the most talented physician to ever draw breath, THIS ONE WAS HOT AS BALLS OH BOY I WANNA FUCK IT, this one was a top military dude”.
Is she going to serve them all drinks or something?
@@RainWelsh I think it was mentioned she's a star specialist. Could have been the other one tho, I don't remember.
@@ooogabooga3454 sugoma
This story had amazing potential and would make an amazing movie..
However, it suffers from a massive lack of detail and scientific knowledge. A ship with no redundant systems? Easily destroyed by the strength of one strong creature? A tank of.. "matter"? Not hydrogen.. not some noble gas? And where did the creatures gain enough mass to double in size? Artificial gravity? One single control system? No ability to repair or shield from radiation? And why create sexual tension and give details of one person only to ignore it for the whole story? No scans of the sun creature? Nothing?
A nice story made disappointing because it had so much potential but no research or follow through.
the story is basically dead space 3
Also the fact that none of them had been shown what the interior of the ship would look like, and they didn't even know what there would be anti gravity
There are so many little errors like that. A non scientific example is the NDA he has to sign. An NDA makes you civilly liable for disclosing the information in question, it doesn’t create criminal penalties. You don’t have to “agree” to something being treason to reveal. If it’s treason to reveal the information it just is treason to reveal the information, that has nothing to do with an NDA. The way it’s presented implies that it would be totally legal for a spy who didn’t sign said NDA to disclose all the information the character learns because I guess he didn’t agree to it being treason
Exactly like come on why did they not kiss
@@GayForklift I'm saying.. AT LEAST a sex scene or something.
Still.. it has a lot of potential.. just needs more follow through. I should look for where he posted this story.
I think there's another version to this story where nothing goes wrong except for the fact that they all get incinerated the moment they arrive and the guy who planned this trip suddenly gets a moment of clarity realizing this is what stars actually do.
Well damn. Exactly an hour after you said it would take an hour. Great timing dude!!
haha thank you! :)
#thedarksomnium it’s a black hole
I enjoy how the description of the vehicle was an actual concept design for the ship that would use the Alcubierre drive. And that thing alone, has a somewhat realistic idea behind how it would work.
Your narrations are perfect. I listen to them at night and at work. They keep me so entranced.
Ooooo I love it when you do space stories!
"Nothing but light itself can go that fast"
Startrek: here's the thing, they said only light can go *that* fast
Star trek: "Light speed is only a suggestion"
God I love your space horror stories lol and yes I’m high as fuck lol
Same
😂😂😂
Same
I wish I was rn 🤣
I feel like if you're in a situation where you're 4 light-years away from home, you're dead in the water, most of your crew have been killed and you're hiding from a monster, you're not going to start typing out a physics lesson on the ship's log.
"How fast does it go?" "According to our calculations, it goes *very fucking fast* "
These and the oil rig leviathan stories are my favorite! It’s the background noises for me. It’s like I can create a movie in my head because of all the descriptions and sounds. It’s my favorite pastime and inspires me to make my own!
On time again !! Feel good time!!
Nothing like a good story to ease my mind.
hope you like the story :D
@@Darksomnium I like these cosmic horror stories. Can you do more cosmic horror? Please.
@@Darksomnium Yes please please please make more cosmic horror narrations!!! They fit you so well
@@Darksomnium I agree with the others. More cosmic horror please!
I read "ease" as "erase" and was like hol up
I absolutely LOVE your space stoties...your voice seems to have an extra level when you do them. This one was fantastic!! Great job, everyone!
Their biggest mistake was assuming things would be peaceful and not bringing weapons.
Heard this from scary juju first and was hoping you or one of my other two favorites would do it too. More space stuff needs to be narrated. Thank you for getting me thru my shifts!
I really liked some of the ideas in this story. I feel like the author has a lot of potential. I think my favorite part was when they turn up light filters on the windows and realize that the star is actually some massive organic thing. And I really dug the concept that it was blindingly bright.
Very cool idea. I also really liked how it was sending out pulses that were transforming people. And I liked the race against the clock to try to get away from the next pulse. It was a bit of a plot contrivance that each pulse would only turn one crew member at a time. Like, It's sending out this massive wave. Why wouldn't it just change everyone at once? The stasis sleep thing threw me off a bit. I figured it would just take them like 30 minutes to fly there. 😅
I was kind of bummed that it turned into a dead space thing after that. At that point I was really stoked for some epic sci-fi mystery to unravel. But even that wasn't really that bad.
I guess my only gripe would be the ending. I feel like it wrapped up too quickly. I did find it hilarious how the protagonist kept saving the hot chick over everybody else. Lol!
So yeah, definitely an entertaining story. I will definitely like to check out more of the author's work.
Scrolling through your channel because I missed alot while I was at basic and when I first got back. I’ve been listening to your stories for like 3 years maybe 4 and I usually hate ads but when ads pop up on your stories I’m genuinely proud and happy for you bro bro. Keep doin ya thing my man
‘A plus’ all around.
Just a note for the author: a photon isn’t the only thing that can travel at light speed. All massless particles do…photons, gluons…any particle with ‘mass’ ( most known particles) travel at less than light speed.
You should write a horror themed sci-fi story
Protons aren't massless.
@@numinous123 What even is mass. Rather, we can define it, but what is it?
@@arcturus4762mass is energy, and you can see that by observing that any object with mass accelerated toward light speed (I.e. given huge amounts of kinetic energy) actually gets heavier; it gets more *mass*ive
Cool story, can you do a story called the cosmic gargantuan next?
Love your narrations Ronnie. Thanks again. This one was especially good because space, although predictable it’s still enjoyable. As always, your work is top notch
The space travel stories you do are my absolute favorite!! Please do more of them!!
I really enjoyed this! I think the monsters was a great twist and i wasnt expecting the ending. A little cliche but I like it for these types of stories. I think the time dilation would have been interesting to cover. The faster you move to the speed of light the less time actually passes for you. Mean while time on earth has passed a few hundred years or so.
lol that beat drop after “send” made this sound like a long intro to a song 😂
I saw this in my notifs and thought "wait, what?!" then I realised it was Somnium lol
That last „send“ and the ending music hit me really good. Great job making that ending👍👍
“That’s no moon…”

Ik its just a story but the airman calling himself a soldier completely took me out of it
Hey dark summon thankyou so much for all your hard work and dedication to your trade it means allot to us just to get this little break from life with your stories.
Some pointers for the author in case they're interested:
-the FTL mechanism was just vague enough to make sense, good job on that.
-descriptions are nice, especially when they go into orbit and first see the ship.
-the crew is only mildly interesting, but I didn't really care about them. It's understandable though, the story is too short to properly build so many characters.
-why would they enter suspended animation if the trip is only 44 days? I imagine it's not worth it, realistically they'd stay awake to monitor the ship since no one ever used FTL before so they don't know anything about it. Plus they'd probably have a myriad of tests to run in that environment.
-the "romantic" subplot goes nowhere. It's so barebones and unnecessary that it could've been omitted entirely. If the story was longer and the subplot would've been used to justify the MC putting himself into danger I'd understand, but at the moment it's pointless filler.
-the premise was very interesting, and so much more could've been done with it. Right now it's just another Dead Space clone, something I noticed is pretty common with sci fi and space related creepypastas. They're great games and I loved them, but for the love of God, do something original.
It's not a bad story and it has tons of potential, but it ended up underwhelming and disappointing.
I half expected him to say "what she lacked in height she made up in weight..." anyone else?
NGL, that was my first thought too.

I never liked your voice initially but for some reason I have become accustomed to it.
You have a unique voice pattern.
something about it is distinct.
It is ...soothing.
And I suppose that's an interesting synergy for the way it sounds, considering the nature of your channel
The idea of the organic star was neat but after that it turned into a story I’ve heard 100 times before. With that said, good job with the narration as always.
@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar Didn’t insult the author, I simply offered my opinion that I thought the story was derivative. Sorry though, I know in 2022 dissenting opinions are akin to violence and I hurt your feels.
Plot twist : All creepypasta stories are actually real!
That's a terrifying thought. Imagine if all he read was actually real. My goodness it would be a surprise that there are still so many humans on the planet
They are actually real, in a different universe. The creators/authors of the stories are unknowingly causing such events to occur in a different universe. Humans are gods unconscious of our divinity.

In these kinda stories, there always gotta be that one beautiful attractive woman. For why?
Space stories are the best Creepypastas keep them coming please!!
Also glad to see you're back in but not content!
Pre-shift chiller: done!
Now that was a crazy good story
I love the space stories! I also appreciate the realism.
Well technically space itself is expanding faster than the speed of light.
What is actually meant is that information cannot be passed over a distance faster than light. Since the "expansion" of space is expanding into "nothing" there is no information to be passed - therefore no universal laws are broken
it also sound like thanks to Elisabeth something else was expanding faster than the speed of light.
This one's going in my space vibe playlist for sure
Guten tag! Part 5 of thanking our man for his very frequent uploads. We have been blessed once again!

I wish authors would just take a moment to learn just a little basic physics before writing a story like this. A lot of things about this story don't make sense, and it's hard to enjoy it.

So...necromorphs? I can dig it! Love your stories, especially your space ones. Cosmic horror is the best horror!
Niiiice. Great as usual Ronnie x
BRUUUHHH! I needa know what kinda star that IS! This was crazy with the unanswered questions. Nicely done
Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t one perceive themselves having reached the destination before even setting off if it’s faster than light?
Indeed it would, unless new physics were discovered in things like the curvature of spacetime and FTL paradoxes
SCIENCE!!!!
Alcubierre's warp drive actually works pretty simple. It creates a bubble around the space craft in which the speed is sublight, while the bubble itself is travelling in FTL, thus the astronauts don't experience FTL paradoxes. Problem is, not even quantillions of anti-matter would be enough energy to create such bubble
@@podlodialgilap3490 not to mention we haven't to foggiest idea of where even to begin the actual, physical construction of the drive. A lot of drives work on paper but hot damn do we need to advancements in physical sciences before we start doing crazy shit like that
@@lordawillo1019 Yeah , you ain't gonna build that with regular steel lol. We need new materials and energy capacitors ( more efficient batteries)
Also we must establish space infrastructure first thing through the solar system to be able to build anything at all, and then start mining the asteroid belt for materials
There's a long road ahead, towards spreading the human race through the galaxy.. i just don't know if we will survive that long with our limitless stupidity
There isn't ANY chance that they would have gone on this sort of mission without any weapons!!
Exactly! This was a potential first contact situation. There would have been multiple scientists, as well as a diplomatic attaché with authority to speak for his country and a fully armed military presence
Why do people keep saying this? It's a space mission! They didn't take weapons to the moon. By the sounds of it, they weren't planning to leave their spacecraft, and they certainly weren't going to land on any habitable planets. What would they be fighting?
Them: "We can open the airlock from the communications room"
Me: "That seems like a safety hazard, and an OSHA violation"

Oh, and here I was thinking it contained hopes and dreams.
Well, he's describing reactor working on principle of annihilation from contact of matter and antimatter. no-one is ever specifying type of antimatter either (is it antihydrogen? Or antioxygen? Or perhaps antiuranium?), it's not even relevant for function of the reactor. Any matter and any antimatter would work still the same.
"Lets send our prototype to a place we have no way of ever retrieving it should something go wrong."
Space exploration in nutshell. Most of it is just one or two units ever built. Even space shuttles were actually each distinct version. The only large scale produced crafts having some standardized config are Sojuz and now Crew Dragon. Due to costs you are rarely given chance to do some test runs, usually just one for piloted stuff and that's it. For interplanetary/interstellar missions you would just test it on orbit and that's it. And with this ship, sending people is actually way to increase chance of retrieval, since those people can at least attempt to fix any occuring issues instead of just signing off hardware costing hundreds of millions of dollars for who knows what reasons (even with Comms powerful enough any data from mission would take over four years to arrive, too long for attempting any fix remotely. Risking small crew is also, cynically, cheaper than risking the ship)
Boutta fall asleep to this after watching Lost
Good idea, huh?
love your stories keep it up!
Love horror stories from this channel and I also love science so this type of story is one of the best.
I feel like this would have been better as a longer story, the ending was a little abrupt and disappointing.
Supposedly there’s a part two according to Ryan sharp/ muffin the author below your comment
Eh, this story just felt like dude saw every space related thing and shoehorned them into a story lmao
My thoughts exactly. I was like, "ooh, what interesting new take on sci-fi FTL travel Is this author going to have?? ... oh, it's a "hard to describe (somehow) blue tunnel of light"... just like every warp drive in every movie ever."
@@BULLTRONHERO upon further reflection, it feels weird that the narrator has to make a point that hes signing an NDA and mentioning the Large Hadron Collider also just feels so out of left field even though its a conversation lmao
This story just feels so...basic lmao.
@@ledzeppelinfan1001 Also, the beginning setup where he refers to himself as the most awesome and greatest navy man who was ever a man in the navy, and all the people who also got recruited for the mission were super awesome wicked rad the-best-people... it just feels like that kid in middle school who always goes on and on about how cool his friends who go to a different school are.
We don't get a ton of space creepypastas these days... so I'll take what I can get lol
