Best HFY story: It Was Only A Mining Drill | 2611 | r/HFY

[@bryanshoemaker6120]

I actually just heard the story last night from a different source but it's very nice to actually hear a human voice read it.

[@merlinathrawes746]

A very powerful reason to not only be polite, but to actively seek to be friends.

[@Wastelandman7000]

I love the fact that the miner didn't immediately go full bore on them. I'm sure the captain and crew will have a lovely lunch.

[@Norbrookc]

It never hurts to be polite. Sometimes, it keeps you from being hurt.

"Meatloaf Monday". Damn, now I'm hungry.

[@ScottHinger]

Great story you picked Agro!! I really appreciated and enjoyed it! WITH ENERGY!!

[@LTDunltd]

Great story. Worthy of a like, a comment, and a few replies. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@valtiel2589]

ITA CHIEVED THE GOAL (despite the outcry from comments) but yey thank you for narrating a scribble :)

[@mackenziedrake]

It's a good story. Many thanks for sharing it!

[@jeanannd]

The engineers should have gone to lunch with the captain. They would no doubt want to talk to the human about the great mining machine they were impressed with.

[@thomasmandell3002]

The entire crew is going onto the station for lunch😂

Great story; Excellent narration! Universal rule #42 - always be polite and say thank you when engaging with Humans! LOL!!!

[@LTDunltd]

It's one of the many rules that control the universe. Just like Rule #34. 😉

[@mackenziedrake]

Manners do matter. 😁 You do tell it well, too. Many thanks.

This is the kind of thing automation is meant for

[@davidragan9233]

I imagine the Engineers where the first through the docking ring.

[@amberpelton5679]

Awesome story ❤

[@olebloom1641]

Yeah that's pretty much a miners point of view.

Meatloaf Monday, a bit of a disappointment for our new alien friends, shame it was not Fish for tea Friday !!

[@user-iw6bu4iq4r]

Um.. You do realize where that meat came from... Right?

[@Netherdan]

​@@user-iw6bu4iq4r not much life around barren asteroids. But here's hoping the station has some automated farms and only uses the attackers' biomass as fertilizer. Eating sapients is frowned upon

[@merlinathrawes746]

It could have been Taco Tuesday.

[@LTDunltd]

@@user-iw6bu4iq4r Are you suggesting "salvage"?😁

[@user-iw6bu4iq4r]

@@LTDunltd well... There was nothing suggesting the drill bits only chewed up rock. 🤔
