it is sort of like getting a brand new Ferrari when you were expecting a thirty year old beater pickup truck., i thought it was cute and funny from their reactions. good job.👍👍👍
A prequel would be great. Or, and hear me out, a sequel where we see them try to reverse engineer the home ship and just can't get past their excitement. I loved laughing with this one. The author does a good "boot scene" where we know what happens but makes it funny not NSFW. They should go that route. You can't half-ass badass and this is good shit.
Likely proven they aren’t quick to attack and more exploratory in nature. Considering humanity’s first contact with an alien race in this case was an invading force, why wouldn’t we give gifts to races that have shown they only want to peacefully explore.
What I'm getting is a hidden warning that says: "Behold our power and might - It vastly exceeds your own. We have visited your worlds many times to acquire this knowledge about you and the special materials used to build these ships and we can easily do so again. We can be the best of friends .. or the worst of enemies. You'll want to stay on our good side."
@@CeeJayDK We give you TWO uber ships, but we have 10,000 more for ourselves... ruminate on that my "friends" Oh and every other race gets TWO as well... so don't pick a fight with them... you'll be equally matched. Don't piss US off, because we have a good number of "friends" that we gave two uber ships to as well, and they'll be on OUR side, should anyone forget "our deal" .... just saying.
Well, I guess the 'Techpriest' story element should sound 'Too Good to be True' without the 'Cult Imperialis' element _(i.e. Worship our God-Emperor or be burnt as the Heretic you are. Are you devout enough? No matter, the inquisition marked your planet for Exterminatus anyway. For the Emperrah! Also, no Xenos alowed. Praise the Emperrah!)_ Given these guys sound like squid, aka (filthy) xenos, they'd probably not get invited into the Emperors club unless this is set in a FAR DISTANT future ( past year 45K+ or so). Just to add to the guys' above me.
I experienced bucket loads of feel good vibes listening to this ....nothing sinister .humans like a challenge and to suprise others with pleasure .....i do anyway
Clearly there's a long-standing relationship here. We have come to know the other species' so well as to design a customized ship that incorporates their own biology. They saw pairs of the other ships, meaning they weren't the first to see the system, but they were the first to truly be brought into the fold. My guess is it would take several hundred years of trade and commerce to forge such a relationship. Perhaps half the time to actually build the ships, but the rest to learn the behavior over a decidedly long term so see what they do with the power that they already have.
How I read this story: Capt. Kirk: [after finding out Scotty started the brawl at the station] What caused it, Scotty? Scott: They insulted us, sir. Capt. Kirk: Must have been some insult. Scott: Aye, it was. Capt. Kirk: [in disbelief] You threw the first punch. Scott: Aye. Chekov wanted to, but I held him back Capt. Kirk: You held... Why did Chekov want to start a fight? Scott: Uh, the Klingons, sir... is this off the record? Capt. Kirk: [losing his patience] No, this is not off the record! Kirk is questioning Scotty about his reasons to start a bar fight with the Klingons] Scott: Well, Captain, er... the Klingons called you a... a tin-plated overbearing, swaggering dictator with delusions of godhood. Capt. Kirk: Is that all? Scott: No, sir. They also compared you with a Denebian slime devil. Capt. Kirk: I see. Scott: And then they said that you were a... Capt. Kirk: I get the picture, Scotty. Scott: Yes, sir. Capt. Kirk: And after they said all this, that's when you hit the Klingons. Scott: No, sir. Capt. Kirk: ...No? Scott: No, er, I didn't. You told us to avoid trouble. Capt. Kirk: Oh, yes. Scott: And I didn't see that it was worth fighting about. After all, we're big enough to take a few insults. Aren't we? Capt. Kirk: What was it they said that started the fight? Scott: They called the Enterprise a garbage scow! Sir. Capt. Kirk: I see. And... that's when you hit the Klingon? Scott: Yes, sir! Capt. Kirk: You hit the Klingons because they insulted the Enterprise, not because they... Scott: Well, sir, this was a matter of pride. Capt. Kirk: All right, Scotty. Dismissed. Oh... Scotty, you're restricted to quarters until further notice. Scott: Yes, sir. Thank you, sir! That'll give me a chance to catch up on my technical journals!
An offering from the tech-priests. Praise the Omnisiah!
Handcrafted no less....
this one was interesting to write but had a poorly executed premise. i might write a follow-up story.
Perhaps a prequel of this, a story of the struggle they endured to earn them such pretties?
I like it! ^^

They joined right before a war and made a difference?
This one was awsome!
Giggled and laugjed.
I really liked this 1.
Me too.
'... only seven had ever seen it, and one of them came uninvited. They aren't around anymore.'
Was a good hfy line
the rest was meh.
I like wholesome stories tbh so this is right up my alley.

I can't find a link to join?
Very nice story.
It makes me wonder what the newcomers did to earn our trust so quickly.

I'm getting tiny hints of 'trap' from this, for some reason. The whole 'if it sounds too good to be true..." thing.

Cynical but wise to be wary..

Techgasm.
It is real... lol
You havent had one 🙂@@ElainCorrine
This was a fun story to listen , thanks for taking the time and effort to create it.
he didn't make it
Chapter 2 is just an outside perspective of watching the narrator drooling on an alien mushroom in their cave
I experienced bucket loads of feel good vibes listening to this ....nothing sinister .humans like a challenge and to suprise others with pleasure .....i do anyway
Wow the Dothraki have made it to space,awesome
Well done! Great story and narration. Well done.
I wanna hear an actual Alien really mean it when they say, AWESOME!
Fantastic ❤ Please yes more‼️👍
"Collective orgasm" came out of fucking nowhere

Good story
Second time I listened to this story. Still liked it. 👍
This is my fave one so far!
I can say one thing , author of this story has read Dune , Song of Ice and Fire , Warhammer 40k books and some more sci fi and fantasy :)
'Squidged' is excellent.
So . Sapient , Aquatic Molluscs ? That have Random Orgasms ?
Welcome to the idiosyncrasies of HFY. It's all a guess where the only known fact is that it's gunna be weird.
Awesome last words.
The two ship crews will be in constant pleasure at last they have to clean the Mess they produce
Big 40K Vibes

I imagine it's like Mengsk's ship :)
Great story !
Wonder how many species fail because they don't drink tea...
I could have done with the mental image of squid people coming.
"Now Emperor protects also you"
The only thing im hearing is this is gonna be a bitch to maintain
💙👍

Chapter 20 will hopefully be out later today. I work vey closely with the Author on that story.
😂😂😂
Good story
