This is my story!
Fun fact: when I first had the idea it was only supposed to be about four or five paragraphs long, but as I started writing it just kept getting longer and longer until it became one of my longest stories.
Excellent work, there's a lot of these stories that are just "ok", but this one stands out. My compliments.
Love the last line - that was perfect.
That was a great story!!!
Part 2?
That last line sent shivers down my spine. Amazing story wordsmith!
"Those who Run" carries a different meaning when you remember that Humanity evolved as a persistence hunter
Also you can run TOWARDS something as much as you run AWAY. The name doesn't specify which the Terrans prefer.
And the correct name, "Those who CHASE", leans more towards the former.
@@noppornwongrassamee8941 to be fair, I was only about halfway through when I wrote that. And I knew what was coming as soon as Karal was declared

Human: let’s see let’s start with attacking civilians and finish with genocide
Humans are like that
We evolved as persistence hunters. No fangs. no claws. Skin as thin as tissue paper. Just long legs and hands that can lift whatever rock is on hand, or pull a flint knife across the throat of whatever unfortunate we'd been chasing. They named us well, and didn't even realize it.
We’ve got the best radiator, and always remember that heat kills

Humans tend to not like to run without a good reason. Please remember, you don't want to give us a good reason...
During ancient times, ancient to even ancient Mesopotamia, Humans lived mostly as nomads in caves, and one of the ways of procuring food was hunting animals even other predators. How?? By slowly and enthusiastically walking our quary to their death through exhaustion or simply give up itselves to be slain without resistance...

@@prestonjones1653 its why we find the idea of the Terminator so friggen scary. Its why monsters always just walk after their victims in horror movies, its why Zombies are so prevalent. We know just how terrifying we are, and having something use our method on us scares us to our core.
@@rolkflameraven1483 I never thought of it that way. Thank you for this new perspective.
Not only are we Those Who Run, but we are the only species who can easily eat & drink on the move. Plus we sweat to cool down. Our prey, and our predators, can't. So, not only to they tire, they also dehydrate, overheat and burn energy, while we just... run.
We may run away from war. But when war catches us, we charge towards the sound of the guns.
I'd love to see more one offs of this lenght. I like the 5min ones too, but this is an actual full story.
Most of the long running ongoing multichapter stories leave me forgetting what it was all about. Keeping the story in one post helps my worsening dementia keep track of the plot.
Also with long running stories, I notice they start off full of action but eventually evolve into soap operas.
@@anathardayaldar i agree to this
It reminds me of a few lines from If by Rudyard Kipling “If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it”

For those for whom "Persistence Hunting" is just a concept with no real meaning attached, there are a few films and videos of the hunters that used to be called "The Kalahari Bushmen" hunting for their villages. The first one that I saw was about 65 years ago was an hour or so long movie about a Giraffe hunt by several hunters that lasted several days. The giraffe finally collapsed from the arrow poison and exhaustion. The team of hunters just kept tracking it at a steady pace until they caught up to it. The RUclips Video from a few years back is a much more recent video of a gazelle hunt where both the gazelle and the pursuit hunter are worn out, but the hunter has two team members bringing up his gear and water for his recovery.
Larashi: we are going to break the Humans!
Humans: nah, we are going to use you as an example
Perfect! Across the stars, across the planets, across time itself, we are “Those who chase!” One of the best stories yet!
First thought was: those who run after you. Second: those who run everything.
Thirdly: those who run to a fight
@@jackmack4181 fourth those who run to war and death
Persistence hunting, it's how we got our place on the planet, Run things down by sheer endurance and persistence, and to this day that's still how we achieve things, putting our minds to it and keeping at it for as long as is needed
When we start running just give up we'll outpace you soon enough
@@Voron_Aggrav I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again the most terrifying thing about humanity isn’t our Brains or our tech, bc if we lost all of that we’d go back to what rose us to the top of Darwin’s ladder in the first place, our outlandish endurance.
Not a single animal could identify any human tech from any other except by appearance, and none of it has any meaning to them. That’s why a deer will sometimes look at you while you’re scoping it bc it doesn’t understand it’s being hunted, at least not yet.
But what still puts fear even into the hearts of man is the fear we put into everything on earth, that when they look over their shoulder it’s hopeless to breathe a sigh of relief if they don’t see us. Just because we aren’t seen doesn’t mean we aren’t chasing, and just because you got away from dying in that patch of woods doesn’t mean the one you ran into wasn’t the place we had planned to catch you anyway. The feeling of knowing that no matter how far or hard you run, we will always be behind you, that while you run yourself to near death fleeing from us, you were never all you really escaping at all.
You were just giving us a trail and way to work up our appetites
When they announced that all races picked a name for themselves I thought it would be "Those Who Survive" because throuout our history we have survived, our prey, then our predators, then our world and finally, we survived ourselves.
And if these Xenos don't eradicate us, we will survive, and then we will recover, That is when they shall learn true fear.
For if we survive, we will destroy that which has dared to hurt us, and we will make sure they have no chance to survive.
Those who run away from the beast within, until the beast is doing the running.
Those who run.
I liked it. We run when needed from danger.
However when motivated we run head long into the fight.
We will run to the aid of family and stranger alike. I liked the story. ESP the capture of the last family member. Good story.
I freaking loved this one! I like these long one shots! Blessings upon the author and the narrator!
Those Who Run is by far the best HFY story I've listened to. I normally prefer longer stories but, in this genre, longer usually just means repetitive.
Xeno: you cannot win human
Human: hold my beer
And here I thought the issue was narrow minded zenos. After all, while you can run away from danger, you can also run towards it. You can run for help, just as well as you can run to give it.
As someone who has done some voice acting before, I absolutely notice the one time you said a word that wasn't part of what was written, just as much as I did an ENTIRE script and got a reply "You pronounced this wrong..." despite it was how me and my family (and my part of the country) always pronouncing a word, but it wasn't the "popular way that is in the news right now" way. :D
I enjoy these, cheers man!
Ahhhhhh... that ending had my giggling like Amadeus In the checkout line.
I'm now banned from yet another walmart.
We run all day,
We run all night,
We run right in to a firefight!
The last couple of lines gave me goosebumps. They would have passed for a villain reveal at the midpoint of a lesser story, Alas they are here fitting punctuation.

"You fools, you didn't break them... you galvanized them and signed your own death warrant."
Shivers and chills, that was a great ending
Those who run from danger?
Oh not, you are mistaken, its those who run *toward* danger.
I could imagine a lovely comic or graphic novel chronicling the long game of cat and mouse between the prince and the huntress.

An amazing story and the narration was wonderful as always bud! Thanks for this!
I really liked this story! The one thing I had a problem with was that shipyards that hadn’t been used since before humanity unified could just up and start producing warships. Unless they were almost entirely automated and just needed a software update and raw materials, it would take quite a while, possibly years, to train up the huge amount of workers. How to operate the equipment, how to build ships, how to build warships instead of cargo ships. Quite possibly how to design warships for fleet warfare rather than police actions, if it’s been long enough (read: longer than a few decades, maybe longer if the government planned ahead for once when they shut down the shipyards). It only took twenty years for Germany to forget how to build anything larger than a destroyer between WW1 and WW2. It’s a minor detail but I noticed it and had to say something. :)
I think they meant that they had shut them down and only kept the ones needed. So getting them working again would just be minor updates and having some of the old hands from the still operating factories leading the new people at the refurbished ones.
Like when car factories shut down a factory that makes its trucks to downsize and then moves that line to a different place. Then the can expand again so they reopen that old factory, update what's needed, and train so new people using the old people from the other factory. So maybe a couple months of installation and then leaning on more quality checkers until the new people get trained fully.
Germany was forbidden to make them, so their designs were decades old when they started back up(largely ignoring the Treaty of Versailles when they did) where as other countries were still designing and/or building
the other nations, not bound by that scaled back production and sold ships 1 and 2 at a time to various other nations(for example the Brits built 1 of the cruisers Argentina acquired between 1919 and 1939... Italy built the other 2)
so they maintained knowledge if not the capacity of quantity
If you look at the history of the United States and what happened in 1941, the United States military was really a joke and had no real concept of what a large scale war would involve. But in a little less than 4 years Germany which had one of the strongest militaries at the time, and Japan was a great naval power it should have been a lot longer war. However as the world found out the United States of AMERICA 🇺🇸 basically has always hated war but if someone else starts a fight with it, well Admiral Yamamoto said it best about waking up a very dangerous beast. Because the United States of AMERICA 🇺🇸 was a melting pot of people who had come from around the world, the fact that if we are United by an outside force, we will come to gether and we won't stop until the enemy is crushed and then we rebuild them back. That's why China and the CCP has been using unconventional warfare and trying to destroy America from within because if they tried to attack us from the outside, the CCP would be no more and the Chinese people would have been free to try again to get a good government for the people.
@@goingfubar7182 I mean it didn’t hurt that all the infrastructure destruction was never happening in our heartland and we actually got a boom in our economy funding the Allies until Japan touched our boats and America took the chance to flex on the world, and it worked
@@goingfubar7182 We're also *really* good at improvising.
This whole story was truly wonderful The last line floored me. Thanks so much for such a great story!
There is a reason that the United States Military places their flag as backwards on their uniform, as we move forward , the wind blows our flag backwards, we will always advance, always run towards the danger, we run, and we will not stop
the amount of absolute disrespect to send a single woman on a decade long mission to catch the prince.
they could have sent a dozen marines just as easy!
We can chase towards your soon to be corpse, or we can chase the ideal of peace and prosperity. Its what you do that determines which target we hunt.
Those who endure, would have been fitting as well.
Yes we run, but it is into danger not away from it.
One of my absolute favorite stories in a while.
Anyone else want to turn that last planet the prince hid on into a Renaissance Fair world? Highest level of tech would probably be steam power as it is pure mechanical power.
I swear so many of these stories are just:
Aggressive, warmongering species: "there are no rules of war in this"
Humans: "it's your people's funerals..."
*Freebird intensifies*
And it slaps every time
What I like about this one is how they still didn't resort to war crimes. Not only because it's the moral high ground, but because it's efficient. Why glass a planet when you can surgically remove the only strategic asset it has?
DAMN thats a good ending line deliverd perfectly
I did not awaited that ending. it was awesome!
This one got me hooked.
And now Space Balkan awaits the rise of Space Tito.
I was expecting "those who run" to be metaphorical, a statement of the obscene pace that can be set to scientific or industrial growth, but that too is a form of chasing a goal.
Like many stories there's a WW2 vibe to the humans' pursuit of war. My only criticism is the use of technicals instead of proper conversions. It's not unheard of for naval shipyards to have plans in place for taking tankers and liners of specific designs, often designs they had a hand in creating, and turning them into cruisers. Often not very good cruisers, but better than the civilian hackjob of a technical.
All hail the only coursing predator.
"Those Who Strive" might've been a better ending
The Larashi should probably have been “those who cull”.
Humans don't walk to a fight they run to a fight.
That was a wonderful story, props to the author.
Pursuit predation is truly terrifying.
Drinking game idea: Take a drink everytime the word "chase" shows up during this story^^
Oh that last page! That was a great ending!
If you run you just die tired.
A superior xeno race didn't do their homework and neither did a 1000 delegates, Now they are all scarred wittless. Kinda of strange we are the only species that sweats on this rock
Jheeeezus that's a good story
Human hunters killed by being good runners, simply follow the animal until its too tired to keep running from you, humans are the BEST long distance runners
Humans are amazing endurance runners, what other animal has that kind of pace for that long a time? Just look at the marathon, once a run of legend is now done, FOR FUN, by our old people!
Those who run in the Enemy lines
Think this is the fifth or sixth time I've listened to this.
i was thinking more like, those who run towards our enemies
I adore this story
Thanks for the story 🙂
Humanity sent a woman to hunt him down was the biggest insult to the Prince haha
i love that end
I mean when you look at it those who run and those who chase are pretty close to being similar I mean they're both running one could be taken as a way or two and the other one is definitely running after
Man what a good ending
100% quality
Good one
Those who run *towards* the gunfire.
That was amazing
This was a great listen
Is this a repost, I'm sure I heard this here recently.
Good choice sending a human female, the sex less able to run or chase. If you disagree, look up the actual speeds.
Damm. So fricking good.
10/10 story
Very satisfying.
excellent
(Golf Clap) Very good story !
those who chase makes sense =)
as with many HFY stories, it wanks a bit too much for my liking, but the twist at the end was quite good
Send best hunter.
Send woman.
Pick one.
Lol those two aren't mutually exclusive my grandmother spent he childhood hunting with her brothers, she's a better shot better tracker and much more patient than her brothers. It's about skill not gender.
Somebody tell me where I can get this background music plz?
Those who run At YOU
Those who chase
Those who run, die tired.
Who ever said running was cowardice? FIX BAYONETS
From the moment they named themselves, I knew the big root of the misunderstanding: "those who run" bears a very different meaning depending on which way they're running.
Those who chase
The aliens predators will learn why with some many animal predators on earth that humans are at the top of the food chain. It is not the weapons that just made it easier it was not the tools and traps. That was for after the hunt or to quick. No it was the runing that killed the beasts the predators and prey alike. The "only one" is walking back.
Quite right. I mean, the most powerful nation in the world right now is founded on the *pursuit* of happiness. One of the reasons we chose wolves as our first companions is because we both run our prey into exhaustion. We're constantly moving, constantly searching, and *never giving up.*
@@brigidtheirishIf you want to get historical, it was founded in the pursuit of tax evasion.
@@kiritotheabridgedgod4178 Less "tax evasion" and more "how dare you levee frivolous taxes on us without our consent." Also being forced to barrack soldiers in their homes and tolerate whatever damage the soldiers did to their property. The Crown kept piling on more rules until the colonists snapped.
All hail the only coursing predator.
Those Who Run may have been a mistranslation, but not an error - or, at least, not an inappropriate one. We can get tired of running, but never of The Chase. Sure, we tried to run away from war - to chase peace. But when you took that option away, peace was no longer our quarry... You were.
We chase tirelessly. We chase unending, relentless, and unresting, obsessing, until the prise is taken.
We chase knowledge until The Universe itself surrenders.
We chase justice, obsessing about unsolved Cold Cases for centuries on end.
We chase peace, and we chase war.
We chase sensation and experience.
We have never stopped chasing The Horizon and hunting for new frontiers.
We chase after love.
We chase after revenge.
We chase after kindness and cruelty with equal desire.
We chase perfection.
We chase tradition; both old and new.
We chase invention and innovation.
We chase the chase itself.
Motivated, we run. Unmotivated, we walk. Depressed and dejected, we crawl or rest. But, in the end... We are The Ones Who Run... The Ones Who Chase.
Oh, and we are VERY good at throwing things. Rocks, temper tantrums... YOU. 😈
now I just want you to write out a whole story about, well this. with the upfront threatening undertones with hope of being better beings even with our sharped claws
Fantastic
Crimgbge
I love this comment lol
this should have been the conclusion of the story and the alien races reaction.
In their arrogance they forgot to study our past. We outsmarted the predators of Earth and out chased all the herbivores of our planet.
And when the mega-fauna apex-predators of our planet hunted us, ones who killed our beloved children with fang and claw red with their blood, we chased them into death itself, and then we chased others of their kind out of rage and spite, right into extinction. And we slashed and burned the land they came from, and the only reason we didn't salt the earth was because we took it for ourselves.
and then spent several millennia repeating the process on ourselves.
Problem. You know what it is? Persistence hunting is indeed a thing, the real problem however is that it only works in hot climes where heat exhaustion will eventually kill or incapacitate the prey. it does NOT work in temperate or cold climates. By the time humanity started to move out of Africa they had already mostly discarded Persistence hunting, and those that did not sure as hell did once they started moving into regions where the climate did not allow for the practice to succeed.
It is one thing many authors of HFY get wrong. Most pick up on the fact that humans were, for a while, persistence hunters. However they fail to grasp that Persistence hunting is completely reliant on the Environment and Climate. Too cold, it does not work.
As for outsmarting the predators of our own world, well I put forward the case that one predator (though never of humans) sure as hell outsmarted us. The Cat. We did not domesticate them you see, they decided to move in with us.....
@@alganhar1 We just modified the tactic to panicking the victims to get them to run off cliffs.
@@alganhar1 On the Eurasian and North American plains, steppes, and tundra, we followed the herds: mammoth, bison, aurochs, reindeer, horse, elephant. It could still be a slow chase to exhaustion, because hair and hide meant to trap heat doesn't stop working on the run. We can layer our clothing, they can't. It sucks that much more when your pursuer can walk on top of the snow slowing you down.
To be fair to the folks counting bones under cliffs, after several *thousand* years of running a *handful* of animals to their death, those bones add up. Especially if mountain lions or wolves got to the landing zone before the hunters.
In many places, there are remnants of enclosures used to corral animals cut from the herds in central Asia (probably elsewhere): you don't have to worry about meat going bad until after it's butchered. Some herd animals remained around the humans long enough to be tamed and their descendents domesticated.
In spite of barbed wire and electric wire, we still end up chasing them!
Few know this. But the real origin of the term "technicals" for improvised military vehicle is from one of the many local wars in late 20th century Africa. Journaiists who covered one such war needed armed escorts and started listing their payment as "technical assistants" on their expense reports.
Thank you for sharing. Fun bit of knowledge in a not so fun time.
Huh. I had always wondered where that came from.
I like it. Vague enough to be misleading, but also a very accurate description of the assistance received. Technical support and assistance means providing support, solutions, and general problem solving. If the technical difficulty is getting into and out of a situation safely, that's what an armed escort is for; as much as a fire fighting team or a team of medics when filming a dangerous action scene.
More accurate for these would've been Q-ships.
@@vicroc4a Q-Ship is a counter pirate/ambush ship that acts as a noncombatant. A Technical is a retrofitted civilian vehicle for open combat
