I was just scanning for something to play before going to sleep, when I stumbled on to this. Unfortunately, I was not able to sleep, and I did not realized I finished all the chapters. I did not even realize how moved I was when I felt the tears falling from my eyes when the Admiral read President Lopez letter. I am currently trying to pick myself up from depression and I am literally surprised that a sci-fi story moved me to tears. It really is amazing how humanity has this tendency to give and not count the cost, and I was blessed enough to experience it. Thank you for this wonderful story! Be safe!
It's a great story shame the writer has deleted it off redditt and royal road. Chapter 9 doesn't bother me it's setting some of the background which I assume will be relevant in the future.
I really don't understand why he would cut it off because of some criticism. People on the Internet are vultures and many are even trolls who just want to stirr drama. People like me loved ch9 and I wanna see how the story continues. I was pretty gutted when i saw he also deleted Royal Road. I made an account just for him
@@mkooij he didn't cut it off because of that apparently someone was trying to claim he was plagerasing others, probably one of these AI channels, he's working on proving he's the real author.
This is the best scifi audio i have ever heard. MAKE IT A TV SHOW!!!!! anime if you can would be able to show all the graphics needed to justify the adaptation for this amazing fiction!
I think it is a "where did this come from" point 5hat helps make the connection between our current world and this idealistic, freedom-loving Republic in the story. It's no different that Zeffery Cochran making the Warp Drive and having First Contact, which catapults humanity into a Golden Era in which they pursue scientific progress and positive social change. Honestly, it is better thought out because it shows that the future Humanity is forged from the scars of a shattered past. Mankind hit the breaking point, and what emerged afterward was a unified and noble species.
I cannot wait for chapters 10+. I assume this will be like asoiaf amd ill have to wait another month and subsequently a year for more chapters. I will wait happily as this story is fucking awesome.
I'm surprised its not stated, but sadly there probably will be no more chapters, the author deleted everything, due to the 9th chapter (it wasn't well received). The author wasn't able to deal with the criticism.
This is not exactly true. Chapter 9 was not well received, and he dis delete the entire story from reddit. He is in the process of reposting it on royal road(some of it is already up) and chapter 10 is in the works.
I am disappointed to see other story threads started when I would prefer a story thread continued and with an ending... it makes loyalty to any storyline redundant...
Wtf is wrong with you people hating on chapter 9? Half the god damn stories on this channel revolve around human nature and humanity's capability for violence. Having a war torn history that sets it apart from these other intelligent species is obviously relevant. Fleshing out that violent history is somehow a disconnect from the story? Add in that this is from the perspective of another one of those species living and commiserating with humans. Sci fi books are typically detail heavy so this is par for the course. There's a wasp queen about to rebel against her own high queen to try and make peace with these violent humans. Think human nature and the wasps perspecive might possibly be relevant to that coming conflict? Go listen to "Why Humans Avoid War."
No. It seems someone loaded it on RUclips without the Author's permission. And a lot of people complained about the last chapter. So he deleted it from Reddit.

@philomathist6899 not at all. Any future that is a "post ww3" one cannot be considered accurate if the survivors of such a war come from anywhere north of the equator.
The story was engaging and enjoyable up to and including chapter eight. But what a let-down chapter nine was. It seems to have nothing to do with the story. It is utterly pointless and boring. And it makes absolutely no sense. Did the author fall and hit his head?
this page is really looking to play that story up. once they got kicked out of the story they just put this repeat crap on. if ch.10 has been out for weeks? wtf taking so long. just admit it. you stole the story and got cut off
I mean, I guess you could make that assumption, except that the author himself is in the comment section of every single chapter, and also in multiple Reddit posts (about channels stealing content) affirming that this channel has permission to narrate this story. I work closely with some of the authors here and have been in contact with the author of this story today. He injured himself at work, particularly his finger, which has considerably hindered his story typing ability. He is working on it, and says it should be finished tomorrow. I’ll make an update when I know for sure. I only put this longer form version up because A LOT of people have expressed to me via email that they would like to have it all in one video for car rides, sleeping, working, etc.
@TheFrozenPeakI am the author of They Answered The Call and SciFiStoryGuy has my explicit permission to post the story and has 100% of my support for his content.
I can see how chapter 9 is controversial. It just turned into an honestly "only in your dreams" type russian propaganda circlejerk. No way in hell they would be able to do that, they can't even take a single country, let alone all of asia and europe. And even then, the only reason ukraine is still going is because of US aid and equiment (which I wholly disgree with, I hate being involved on other countries wars and conflicts in the first place)

I do hope the story gets finished. It's wonderful.
"Get Bent" had me laughing for a minute straight.😂
Looking forward to chapter 10. Great work!👍🏻
"We are Humans, and we do not run!" Powerful words.
Can't wait for the next chapters!

As of now (13 of april), he restored the chapters at royal road.
Great story! I think chinese government trolls are bashing it on reddit, cause its great and politically feasible.
This is the best scifi audio i have ever heard. MAKE IT A TV SHOW!!!!! anime if you can would be able to show all the graphics needed to justify the adaptation for this amazing fiction!
Good listen! I hope to hear more of this one :)
I think this guy is looking ahead at exactly where we're going in reality. That's why ppl are hating on Ch9. It sings way to true to reality.
i gotta admit that some parts of dunb ass storie ctually got me.
Chapter 9 was definitely random. Came out of nowhere.
Regardless everything else was good. Looking forward to the next
Yes. It was a big departure and not really needed.
I think it is a "where did this come from" point 5hat helps make the connection between our current world and this idealistic, freedom-loving Republic in the story.

Proud to be human
Keep up the great work my good Sir.
Thank you. If y’all keep watching I’ll absolutely keep working. Enjoy!

@@SciFiStoryGuy well that's good
Theose who criticized are fools with no clue about storytelling. Their ancestors passed on them.
@@SciFiStoryGuy Unfortunately he deleted everything from the royal road too.
Edit: As of now (13 of april), he restored the chapters at royal road.
Do you have an estimated time for when chapters 10 and on will be published?

Are there more chapters coming or is this the end of the story?
is this story going to be finished???
will there be a chapter 10?
There will be. Unsure exact date, but it will be out pretty soon.
Are there more chapters coming?
No. It seems someone loaded it on RUclips without the Author's permission. And a lot of people complained about the last chapter. So he deleted it from Reddit.
There are more chapters to come. Author is reposting on Royal Road, and writing the next chapters presently.
@@SciFiStoryGuy Cheers for putting it up here!
sorry to ask but what the hell does chap 9 have to do with the story ?. 1-8 super good but 9 ?
World building. Specifically how humanity went from what it was to what it now is.
I am disappointed to see other story threads started when I would prefer a story thread continued and with an ending... it makes loyalty to any storyline redundant...
Is that it? Better f ing not be
Like a you man and his first time with a woman, the story ended too soon and ended badly.
Be a stud and finish the story.
It can’t end at chapter 9.
losing hope for any updates...........
Get rid of chapter 9. What about the Hive Queen? We want sci-fi....not some wacky dreams about a new Ottoman Empire.
lol
Cry more, it is good and fairly realistic if West does have a Depression.
@philomathist6899 not at all. Any future that is a "post ww3" one cannot be considered accurate if the survivors of such a war come from anywhere north of the equator.
@philomathist6899 We've already had two financial crashes, and this situation still hasn't played out.

No one cares about the fantasy world the author wants for himself today. Get back to the future events that brought us all here.
GET RID OF PART 9
It's NOT SPACE SCI-FY whoever said it was a good Idea should be slapped again and again with Fierce Conviction 😎
