Probably an all too common thing of it works fine for a time or until something specific happens and then things cascade into fault. A very painful thing to try and fix or explain to 99% of engineers like pulling healthy teeth
Actually modern cars have control modules that fail, but they can't be tested, the only pass/fail is, if it works you've won, but it might have been another item that shorted out a good component.. 😮
Often when a component fails, you replace it, expecting that to fix the problem, but then it doesn't. It could be that another component or system caused the replaced component to fail, or the failure of that component took out another component or system.
So aliens can't fix their own ship so they hire a human. And then they immediately, before he even looks at the ship, begin to treat him with hostility, distrust, doubt, and disdain. So why did they even hire him!? If I was Jace I would have told them to go pound sand and fix their own damn ship.
Some people are like that to the plumbers, waiters and some even to the IT guys. The "I pay you, so you are below me" attitude could also be found among many rich people.
@lampyrisnoctiluca9904 What you say is true, but don't forget the less educated less well to do that live their lives making excuses and taking no responsibility for their position they find them selves in but instead only speak of excuses and passing blame.
@NoNo-xh7ru re-read my unedited comment. I didn't mention any of the trades. I said less educated. Let me try again to try and make my point. People generally speak about what is in their hearts, if I am always complaining or always bragging about X, Y or Z (in this case money) generally this is what I am worshiping ( what is on my heart). If I had a dollar for every middle class and lower class American citizen that I have heard or read say, THE RICH must worship money because they have money or, if I had their money I would this or do that with it..... it is this person that is worshipping money so much they are always talking about it. My point is ,you don't have to HAVE money to worship money. Hope this clears it up for you.
And the converse is also true, just because you have money doesn't mean you worship it. If they worship anything, they probably worship the work they did that earned them the money they have If you are doing something solely for money, odds are you'll be 1 very unhappy person.
Here's another plot point that doesn't make sense. If the Acendants don't understand the interconnectedness of these massively complicated systems and figure their intellect would compensate, then how did they manage to cause the nearly undiagnostic problem with the coupling? In order to sabotage with that kind of sneeky efficiency they would have to be able to understand and manipulate the warships drive systems to cripple the ship without discovery. Jace found the problem but it took him weeks to find it. Then to form the supposition that it was coordinated sabotage would mean the saboteurs posses intellect and skills that later are said they don't truly possess. It doesn't make sense. Either they understand the complexity of the technology in order to sabotage it or they don't grasp it well enough to be anything other than reckless. It can be one or the other, but not both.
Long time ago read a short story about an alien ship that landed on Earth, first contact, by accident. Difficulty of doing repairs when you have to make the tools you need, oh, and make the tools to make those tools, and back about 20 steps. Mechanics fixed it. Turns out this was a test whether a civilization is ready to join the space community.
The rogue faction makes no sense. They complain about empire's stagnant state yet are described as beings that perceive adaptability and creativity as a weakness. ANd then in 30:30 starts another part of their description that is exactly the picture of empire we get in the 1st 30 minutes. Author seriously needs to upgrade lvl of his preparations before he starts writing. He needs to make a notes with descriptions of characteristics of the sides as an absolute minimum. Because he clearly is not doing it and we end with nonsensical story like this. BTW. we hear that "chaos" is an element MC wants to use yet comment from Valorian is that if smallest miscalculation happens they are f*cked. This doesn't gel together at all. Either it is chaos or it is precision. Can't be both. And then they have a plan requiring them getting inside the ship into the engine room. If you are getting this deep into the ship than why is your plan requiring f*cking with precision work and not with explosives. If there is an element that needs to be perfectly calibrated than I guess blowing it into hell achieves the same result without you standing there for couple minutes. Plus imagine this. Fraction that complains about stagnant empire, that uses it to sabotage empire's tech builds a ship that is even more voulnerable to the same BS they did than empire's ships.
*Oh. Different story? I heard the 'Dying Alien Ark gets fixed by Humans' just a few days ago.* 5:45 *Isn't that related to topography? The Mobius strip? A small change affecting the entirety?*
This story was pretty good. It has a couple areas that could use some clarification and a couple inconsistenties that stuck out a little, but overall it was a good tale. It would be great to have a few more stories that include Jace and Mira. Better descriptions of the aliens and Jace would help readers picture what is being read. Maybe some cultural background on the Volarian race would give some more depth to the stories. Are these stories written by the poster or by random authors? Ive been listening to quite a few SyFy stories lately, but I don't know what has been written by people and what are AI generated stories. How do readers know who the author is?
"Better descriptions of the aliens,," that was hitch for me, I kept expecting to hear little details here and there but they never came. As for Jace I sorta just imagined him as sort of a redneck Scotty without the accent.
I don't mind it. I'm so sick of sci-fi movies and tv shows portraying humans as one of if not the weakest species in the galaxy or always out matched in battles. The same crap they do in super hero movies. The "humans are so weak and fragile we need a meta human or some tech billionaire to save us" trope.
I'm confused the first description of the Valorian commander was obsidian colored body and molten Golden eyes. Then at the conference table in front of a bunch of valerians they all had obsidian colored eyes. Do Valorians have different eye colors or was this a little mistake in descriptors?
For someone to have destabilized the replacement coupling, wouldn't they had to have been on board the station? Or would they have come from the production facility already hacked? If the former, they weren't a good enough spy to let the boys back home know what was incoming.
AI generation is involved in the production of the story for sure. The signs are there like when you get a repeat of how the human faced down worse events besides the people he faces down.
The stories, combined with the raiders storytelling ability is awesome. Does anyone know of a channel, that is like this, but instead of reading sci-fi stories read fantasy stories?
So.. They rely on this single human not to just fix their ship, but to save their species from war? Like they couldn't have asked the rest of humanity to help?
I really wish we could find and understand a functional hyper-drive; something that really could take us beyond our solar system, like the ones in our science fiction books and videos. Ah, well
the ending seemed a bit rushed. the "ascendants" didn't put up much of a fight. they just waltzed into the engine room, did some click clickety beep boops and the whole supership just went boom.
It was the last breath humanity had against AI robots😮 knowing what he had to do he fired the Doomsday weapon against AI. Yes it was Starbound! He told stories reminding humans of what they are. Ai..... Destroyed😂
I think you should either change your camera angle or your position in frame and when recording. You look like you lean in too much and in an awkward position. Your content's good, just advice for presentation.
Getting tired of these stories talking about size and quantity but missing the mark bad. These ships would be far larger and if there are enough of them to block out the light of a star it would not be thousands.
Hey I know it's cringe but I suck at reading out loud. But does anyone know how to get the AI voice to read your story? I wrote the story myself because well that's the fun part but I can't figure out how to get an AI voice over on it.
You have one week? Ok after that fixed or not i'm out of here and you can figure it out for yourselves. Always remember a machine is only as good as its worst component.
potential there but the repetitive ness and inconsistencies of the story not to mention blatant cribbing of some pretty popular details / scenes from well known franchises show the rather poorly trained algorithm for what it is and you should be better than that guys come on

And if you're seen "Down periscope," possibly a brazier in the spare parts drawer
If they replaced a broken component with a new one of the same specification and it didn't work, then how could the darn thing work to begin with?
.....one went bad and then the new ones were tampered with.....
Probably an all too common thing of it works fine for a time or until something specific happens and then things cascade into fault. A very painful thing to try and fix or explain to 99% of engineers like pulling healthy teeth

Great story of working together. I an 77 years ild and so sick of war war war . Humanity is better than this.
One day, war will be behind us. We won't see that day, but it will happen. With human spirit, pack bonding, and compassion, it's inevitable.

"His expressions were unreadable." Reads his expressions perfectly
Bastard aliens couldn't even give this guy a med bed to help him with his Energies
O.o your saying they have, a Caffeine Pod?
One coupling stabilized. One coupling de-stabilized. BINGO!
They are always obsidian or iridescent :D
Glad to see Jace back!
this was written by someone who knows a system engineer!
This is what we humans do we stir the shit up😂😂😂 fun story
It was designed to work up to a certain percentage and then to create a resonate instability, think tecumseh bridge

exactly why a coupled component tends to be frowned upon. my message is favor decoupling when possible but coupling has its place
I really enjoyed this one. It flowed well, and was actually believable.
Well done!
wonderful story and narration
keep up the good work
and thanks

It's written by AI, don't expect consistency
Mira didnt so much see past the inferiority thing... she hadnt had the engineering curiosity trained put of her uet.
I think Mira developed a crush on Jace after the defeat of the Ascendants.
The background must be "Space Trucker Lo-fi Beats to study to" Just needs a Alien cat to the side >.
