The author paints an interesting picture with their words here. I like the flipping perspective between our two POV characters so far, it lends a certain air of fluidity to the piece, allowing them to both give a different account on the same event born of their differing natures, though not quite to the level of, say, that 'Deadly, Deadly, Humans' universe. Here, so far, four chapters in, our alien POV has been mostly the same as the Human in terms of what they think and how. A few different names for things, and the physical differences, but no mention of differing instincts or thought processes, which is actually a good thing in my opinion. Life, once it hits the 'I am' stage isn't quite so hidebound to its instincts like that. Sure there's some universal ones for humans, but outside of shock, to which we jump back, we mostly all have differing ways of reacting to stimuli, even those that seem like they'd be across the spectrum, such as pain or horror. So meeting a different species, I'd expect them to have different cultural touch stones, but still be able to think without going to certain extremes from instincts built into the species. They would likely have conquered some of those simply coming up to this stage of sapience/sentience, and thus, will have them in the background, but would not be ruled by them. Even our captain, who is a completely different taxonomy, has generally understood reactions to what's going on on their ship, mostly an annoyance with paper work that's going to be heading her way. Overall, a great universe, and some well realized characters so far.
hmm... apparently there is quite a few segments more written on this , though i do wonder if the next gen mech design on one hand will have a vastly reinforced core & head section , but also might not have some borderline experimental self repair functionality such as ''warning limbs no longer attached to mainbody , pilot in main body... initiating material salvage nanite protocols , initiate field repair of main chassis to mimic severe but still conscious combat amputation'' or such heh
Interesting premise but several plot holes seem immediately apparent. 1 why a security guard when you have zero training on a cover story about why you are mostly machine? (I assumed the space walk accident would be used to say “I’m a cyborg so chest wounds are no longer fatal “). Especially since your job is to get shot at and board pirates. 2 As a sorta ambassador (probably not many other humans out there) his “humans suck” attitude/talking point would be something politicians and diplomats would have mek school screen out of candidates probably. 3 instead of a gas restriction, which would be something a curious or overachiever captain would do for a valuable/exotic/mysterious crew member (we would after all) something societal should be the excuse (“I must kill any who see my face” “My clan must abduct the family of anyone that sees my sacred body art” “I must kill myself in shame if a nonhuman sees me unarmored” etc b/c if you have to do emergency repairs in your room needing to be in a space suit sounds like a bad idea). 4 no attempt to hide from crew members after exiting the mek. All said I am curious if these plot holes are filled in as the story goes 👍
I agree with this, Bro literal breaks the Main rules humans seemed to set in place before making contact without seemingly realizing the result of this. Man talked in a manner that made humans seem like a threat to the other species and was like "I hate lying" BRO you took this job and lying seemed like the one skill you needed to be ready to use the most!!
Kaiju sized aliens wouldn’t be able to survive in Earth gravity-the larger you are, the smaller your g tolerance. Elevators would be the last of his worries. The thought of having to take his mech to the cafeteria to get food is kind of funny, considering that he would presumably only eat a thousandth of a serving.
_Kaiju sized aliens wouldn’t be able to survive in Earth gravity_ That's not true, for millions years we got dinosaurs *way larger* than what it is described here...
These aren't really quite Kaiju-sized. He said 5 to 10 times taller than humans, so we're talking 10 stories tall at most and probably less than that since a human isn't as tall as a full story.
I've noticed that a lot of authors lack a grasp of the niceties of military professionalism, chain of command ect. It is one of those things that unless you've been in the military (preferably USMC 😊) your unlikely to be aware of or get right. I recommend reading some tom Clancy novels and starship troopers to start to get a feel for it.
this story is awsome, but any species that is that tall either is like the dinos and has hollow bones or their gravity on their home world is just that weak for their height to be a standard. and humans just have a high gravity planet.
Interesting story but Am I the only one who hates the dude Alex and how he is just handling the suit situation up to this point??? Like he says "I hate lying" But the main skill or rather one of the more important skills seemed to be the need to lie! Second are the humans in this story really training those selected to talk so much smack about their race to the point it seemed like they will willingly reveal information the rest of the HUMAN RACE has tried to keep secret!!!! This dude even goes out of his way to imply humans are monsters and talked in such a negative manner of humanity that I question why he will not be hung or in prisoned for saying such negative and revealing comments with no filter now that the mech secret is revealed. Like he had so many other options and like i notice another comment pointing out flaws, which i won't repeat. Though I want to get into the story this human we are following is just acting is such a stupidly causal manner after the shit storm he has just caused due to how poorly he handled the job humans trusted him with!! Edit: THIS MAN Has a comm link in his pocket to other high ranking humans AND choose to not rely on that first before Getting out of the mech and revealing himself to the whole crew!! HE should of contacted the other humans to come pick him up, told the aliens to not tamper or help in the repairs of the suit as only the Human race is allowed to look at their suits. Hell dude could of said anything TO BE ALONE and repair the mech to a working point before just popping out to reveal his small true self

This is shaping up to be a fun series

I really hope there's more to this. Finding out that the rest of the galaxy are basically Kaiju to us is really interesting!
Great story! I hope the author gives us some info on why Humanity is so much smaller than other sentient races in the Galaxy.
Simply put, Gravity. Low gravity builds taller.
Ostensibly, you could theoretically have a sapient race the size of a large dinosaur.
Salience evolved from megafauna, think if the dinosaurs evolved to be sapient.
@@jonbolliger1912I guess you've never heard of giraffes.
Great work, keep up the incredible work.
Loved the story! Keep it up!
Really enjoying this one, I hope it continues!
And about the time he figures out that a cabin for a methane breather isn't much good for an oxy huffer he knows he fucked up

I like Aeva, she seems to be really good best friend.
Love the story

Reminds me of Robotech and the zentraedi
Can you do more leani's Ranger?
I thought that was just a given.. that more was on the way. I love that one too.
Next part
Coming soon
