That was a well-written story, and the narration made it even better. So many of the sci-fi stories on RUclips are disappointing. Thank you for the entertainment.
Replace "so many" with "nearly all of them". Roughly 95% of the HFY (rather AIFY ...) stories include 6 nax, six nags, 6 9, six nine, sigs nine, ... and/or a couple of ice dogs.

So they changed the name to make sure we weren't given the ending. The idiot hunter was a Yautja and I guess they added venomous tendrils to its head instead of just gold adorned tendrils and a breather mask. He also had his gun holstered instead of mounted on his shoulder. Funny how he didn't mentioned the xenomorphs himself, but instead he described the Thing as being the scariest species. Considering we humans dealt with BOTH and our species was the last standing, I can see how we'd get the scariest award. Especially if we get specced out the wazoo with body enhancements. FAFO indeed.
I do not know either but some AI stories are good enough that with human editing they can become really good. Without editing they tend ti be annoyingly repetitive at times.
Also "The Thing" with Multiplicity and "Predator" with Avollo. Predators are called Yautja, and his species are here named Yauven. I'm not sure about the rest.
You got the best voices on Starbound fren, Next is the Girl with the Lakota looking face. Im Cherokee and know many other Natives, she looks Lakota, Maybe Comanche, Apache, But you both read well and have great voices for the characters you read. ❤
The first I ran across something like that was was back in the 1950s, possibly the 1960s. It may have been in a short story by Asimov in the Foundation universe. Some archeologist was studying anchient languages, trying to locate the original homeworld of humanity, and was fairly certain they called - it the language that was the root of all human languages - "mud" or "dirt" or a similar word.
This reminds me of a DC comic where a bunch of Rogues are arguing over which city is the safest to terrorize. I won't spoil anything, but I do recommend it.
They got some pretty good stories and awesome narrators to tell it. Definitely my number one Preferred channel for original Sifi stories with hey girl as a second.
@@LaculusA.Lassus-bj7iw Do you mean HFY Girl? She narrates a lot of stories on this channel, but everyone who likes her stuff here definitely needs to go check out her own channel as well!
Great story and reading of it. Loved the other horror movie from Aliens, and the Thing were some of the creatues described. Funny that dirtlings were the most terrifying creatures out there. Loved it
This guy has a good reading voice. Almost as good as james earl jones. I wonder if he auditioned for this gig or if he will for national publisher audiobooks or even animation voice overs.
What I truly like about Starbound is that the reader put personality into it and it ain't AI reading the stories is just as boring as watching paint dry
Keep in mind, not ONLY did we beat these things, but we beat these things with UNTRAINED, NON-MILITARY UNITS IN EXTREME ISOLATION!! Alien is taken down by some space-truckers with a futuristic forklift and tools to eradicate bug infestations (flamethrower). The Thing is taken down by a group of scientists using de-icing equipment and cooking supplies (flamethrower again and methane). Legitimately, Predator being taken out by a beat cop is less impressive. At least that guy was in familiar territory and was trained to use a firearm.
We can take on those other scary things too. Especially with the enhancements. I'm making it my head canon that we were created by the Universe's creator to subdue and have in subjection this planet and all the life on it - something I believe anyway. It wasn't a deathworld at the time, but the fact that we've gone way beyond that mission to the point of nearly ruining the planet, both after falling from grace and apparently becoming weaker, and after the world was made a deathworld SPECIFICALLY as punishment... Ain't nothing gonna be THAT much of a challenge. If it's after the Millennial Reign, we'd be perfect again, and God will be respawning folks like that woman's husband and kids. HFY idea: We were created specifically to bring order to the civilizations of the Universe. The "... And they will learn war no more." thing only applies to war against eachother.
I forgot what story it was, but i remember listening to one where the coalition of planets that were gonna invite humanity as the next member of their government. This coalition would send shapeshiters to talk it out first to ease tensions. They found out about the "Uncanny Valley" and that looking and talking human was just having an opposite effect on humans, and that being their regular "horrifying" form was actually better. It had a happy ending as the shapeshiters could finally be "in their own skin" and not have people look at them with horror. With humans, it was acceptance and some intrigue
The human should have mentioned that they have encountered the xenomorphs and the thing on their home world even before they achieved spaceflight. Just to see the other three squirm. Maybe also mention that they found out that the xenomorphs were created to kill humans.
I have to say an outstanding story guys.. Human narration is always, always the best. No crazily mispronounced words, no odd highs and lows in the sounds pitch.. Perfect. Whether it was her loved ones, or she was simply hired to get those poor three humans some savage Justice? She was perfect.. I'm disabled myself from work injuries, compression fractures of the spine.. 7 vertebrae crushed, and four discs destroyed.. twenty years ago, so the arthritis from it is pretty advanced.. I can still walk, for just a few minutes before I have to sit down or fall.. So I REALLY wish those human enhancements were real.. So.. know where I can find that Human fix/it, modifications shop? I'll start saving my pennies now... : ) buuuuuut, if I could, I'd pay it off in offing bad aliens contracts.... I mean, I haz the training for it.. I just need the added mods to make it happen... Cause Fuck around, and find out? was almost my Wing's secret motto... 🤨😑😠🫡
@@cjandauntieyaya1446 There's a difference between "xeno" and "xenomorph." Xeno just means "not from Earth" while a xenomorph is a particular species of xeno
Aliens:You are trapped in your own planet... Humans:No... you are in human soil... You did not came in peace, to a planet that understand war. Tried to enslave the whole population, forcing the unification of a warrior race. AND you gave them a reason to fight...

Where can i find the original post? Ive been looking around and i dont see anything by this title or that seems to actually be the post. So could someone tell me the original title of this please?
At first, i was thanking there was no way humans could be at the top of the list, but they totally sold it. It was a very good story.

Thats some high juice to make out humans as scarier than both Xenomorphs and The Thing XD
I mean, terrain advantage aside (Space and the Antarctic, respectively) the humans still managed to come out on top against both.
To be fair. We created both of those.
@@dicerson9976 those enhancements must be ridiculously powerful
i actually went directly into the comments after realizing they were talking about xenomorphs to look for a comment like this
To be fair we beat both
Finally, A HUMAN voice in HFY. It's not AIFY.
this channel primarily seem to use actual voice actors not AI.
This channel has I think 3? Voice actors one is a woman and the other is another man

Ahhh... a day off work... no yardwork... laundry all done... and a new Starbound HFY story. Ahhh... life is good. ^_^
"Try to procreate, and learn something new'. Perfect.
That was one of the BEST I've heard. Amazing voices as well!
You beat me to it - I was going to say exactly the same; best story I've heard this year, and best of all AMAZING voices - Excellent!!
I've just recently found this channel and I definitely instend to watch more of their stories.
💯 Love it. A story with actual characters. Not a narrator just telling a story.
Add to that some actual production. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Fun story. I was wondering how the dirtlings would show up in the story. 😂
lol, right? I was thinking of a boom and walking in slowly, but nop got to say that was better then what I though would happen
New story right as I am going to bed.... I can sleep when I am dead.

Love it! Poor Avollo, he f*cked around and found out.
Very good story! Describing the other terrible aliens made me sigh with relief that this is just a story- great narration also!
Good you guys got an intro of some kind put in. It helps rev up for the story.
A well put together story with enough questions to keep me asking and a good tenseness all the way through. Good job, Human.
I don't know if you start with AI, or if you write these from start to finish, but I really appreciate the real intelligence that goes in to them.
I do not know either but some AI stories are good enough that with human editing they can become really good. Without editing they tend ti be annoyingly repetitive at times.
"Aliens" "the blob" really! I do like the end though.

"Dirtlings" 🤣

So, the "Propagators" are Xenomorphs, and the "Multiplicity" is the Thing, but what are the spherical things with silk spinning legs and venom?
Maybe some Stephen King monster.
First thing coming to mind is the Venom symbiotes.
@@m.jasondoty9062 Maybe, but "mostly spherical with multiple eyes" doesn't evoke a symbiote to me.
The closest thing I can think of would probably be a Shoggoth from H.P. Lovecraft's stories like At The Mountains of Madness.
@@DarrylCross Could be. The aliens hunters don't mention their size if I recall.
This was great I loved this one well done
I'm a sucker for these stories. Loved the refs to Alien and Thing too (and the sub-references to them as 'aliens' and 'the thing')
This reminds me of a DC comic where a bunch of Rogues are arguing over which city is the safest to terrorize. I won't spoil anything, but I do recommend it.

One sounds like the creatures from Aliens. The other sounds like an unholy offspring of a Dryder and a Beholder.

I've always liked the idea of genetic enhancement and that is my biggest gripe about Star Trek's story decisions. Good story. Nice buildup.
What I truly like about Starbound is that the reader put personality into it and it ain't AI reading the stories is just as boring as watching paint dry
Some AI voices are really good buy yes, there are problems. They are getting better though.
Wonderful story!
So basically john carpenter's "the thing"?
Yep. My thought as well. And I still belive the Thing was one of the survivors.
@michaelpettersson4919 same
I really do like the reader, from a past one they did to this one in my sequential perspective.
Love the variety of characters.
This just sounds like a xenomorph

I'm guessing the human had advanced cybernetics or body augmentation because no way an average human can disarm someone that easily.
a normal human probably wouldn't be able to handle any of those 4 at the table. but super genetically enhanced and modified, absolutely.
Awsome narrator.
Very good, and no coffee or hot sauce.

holding back because she was not 100% sure which one was her target

So a xeno decided to kill the husband and 2 children of the human wife? Ill not be surprised if she definitely to torture the xeno for it.
No, the Xenomorph was the first alien's scary monster. The Yautja was the idiot hunter who killed an adult and two human children.
