For those of you that aren't aware, our previous narrator has moved on due to his busy real life schedule. However, we have 3 expert narrators which we will rotate through to keep things fresh! What do you think of Chad's narration today?

Reminds me of that one historical story I enjoyed. The North Koreans fired on a US warship, only lightly damaged. In response the warship fired its main guns. It not only destroyed the shooters, the entire bunker they were in, but it destroyed the entire hill the bunker was built in. Good old Wisconsin.

Despite the few flaws, I enjoyed the story. It reinforces my desire to write own HFY short story. It’s such an entertaining variation of sci fi. Like a guilty pleasure.
There are always a couple of things that take away from the immersion, like how they talk about them in these exo-suits but not a few minutes later it talks about their hair being blown in the dry wind.
Given that we have modern exosuits that are open-faced rather than a fully sealed mecha design, this objection isn't really an immersion breaker. On the other hand, the guy reading "alien gun" in a way that implies it to be a gun that fires aliens, instead of a gun of alien origin, is a bit offputting, as are a few of the other mispronunciations in the audio.
If the force shield is even semi-transparent, radiation can probably pass through. Focus on EMP and radiation weapons. Either the shield will come down, or you may kill everything inside, and leave the shield intact.
I have a lot of sci-fy races and writings. Each of them have their own shields and such. In the case of the Erabians, they have huge, bubble shields that repulse kinetics, trap particles and plasma between the membranes, scatter lasers/beams, and they use their shields as weapons. They burn targets, evelop them to fire beams that resonate off the shields for amplifcation (molecular deconstruction), and generally eat targets alive. Their weakness, incidentally, is things like nuclear warheads. Not the shockwave or the particles, nope, alpha particles and stuff are still caught by the shield-but the enormous amount of X-rays and diffuse high-energy radiation. Basically, you can't get a laser *beam* through the shield, but a spray will still come through. Like sunbeam through a cloud, more or less. Depending on the power and the charge and other factors, the shield's plasma membranes will react with more powerful beams and scatter them. However... Large doses of raw hard-radiation will get past. It's like a curtain. It scatters all, blocks up to a percentage, and the rest... bleeds through. Usually around 20-60% is blocked. Which is why Erabian ships have hulls that are very electromagnetically absorptive. To try and cover the weakness in their shield tech. Yan, on the other hand, just have *the goat* in terms of shields. Then again, they are the greatest of all time in basically all tech fields. They're the ancient race that sort of... everybody wants to see. And are rather... rare. They're uber powerful for good reason, and are supposed to be the 'strongest but least abundant' in the setting. Their shields stop all kinetic attacks at 1/100th energy expenditure (energy required to negate the energy of the projectile) basically trivializing railguns and coilguns. They block particle weapons with slightly less but similar efficiency. Beam weapons or exotic particle weapons or even all sorts of plasma weaponry still only gets 1/10th of the energy required to negate it. The only thing that's 1-1 is basically weapons that tear open the space-time continuum. That's *it*.
I was wondering how effective simply surrounding the force field with an impenetrable blockade and… waiting. Yes, the old fashioned siege tactics. I understand that they were hoping for reinforcements but for the sake of hypothetical situation let’s say humans could blockade them it would be interesting.

Great narrator, but the story was kinda weak. There was a vibe about the humans that made it sound like we weren't necessarily the heroes. I get that it's an HFY story but something about it rubbed me the wrong way. Also The subtitles need work as it looks like it was written by someone for whom english was not their first language.
This is the first video I've seen where the person speaking at the beginning of the video doesn't sound like the same voice as the reader of the story in the video. And the reading sounds like it's being done by an AI, which sucks when not doing that has been a positive element about your channel. Also, the story reads like it was probably (though not definitely) written by an AI, and could definitely have used a competent editor to go over it. Assuming the reader was human, there were some issues with how they pronounced words and phrases in several instances, getting the wrong word in place of the one that was written or using a tonal shift that suggests a drastically different meaning from the one that fits the context of the story. Disappointed because while some of your other stories have sounded like they might have been AI writeups, they haven't been as close to the "maybe" line as this one is, and the reading does it no favours, making it seem even more like AI-generated content than it already does.
i really hate it when they try stupid voices just use 1 voice we aint 5 years old we can work out your speaking multiple charectors otherwise fine reading not gunna lie the previous narrator was by far the best not comparable im sorry to say

Damn I’m going to miss his voice
@@zhongli5689 Same
That reading was fine.
I like the new voice. He didn't seem to stumble over his words as much. I just wish you guys had proofread the story's before recording.

Tell the maines there is a pallet of crayons in the force field. Itll be broken within the hour
Or tell them the obstacle called Dan Daly gay.

If i didnt understood wrong, the exo suit was like a "skeleton" type of? Like, the ones in CoDBoIII i guess?

Real Doctor Affera vibe from Netashia the cigarette smoking badass scientist who designed the cannon that brought the forcefield shield down 😊

I approve of this narrator.😊

Fantastic narration! More from this reader please! 👍👌
What happened to the scientists who were trying to overload the shield?
im psure the mecha stopped em
And then it blew up?
What? No, it rang like a crystal bell, it was a very pretty sound, everybody clapped. The end.

This story wanted to be good, it just never quite got there.
What happend with the overloaded generator?

If bad language is commonly used. It has little meaning. At least positive. Just gets tiring.
How about a female for the female roles??? A 2nd narrator?
That would definitely help
Yes
Cheesier than a scillian pizza, detroit style.
PLEASE USE END CARDS!!!
The narrator was fine, the story on the other hand was riddled with so many mistakes that it was difficult to enjoy.

It sounds like a person I recognize. So probably not an AI... just a reader that is not really putting any *heart* into it.
Or mind.
@@AenVegra That would make at least as much sense as the possibility of an AI reader.
Story is good.But the attempt at different voices is just fucking annoying
i really hate it when they try stupid voices just use 1 voice we aint 5 years old we can work out your speaking multiple charectors
