Thanks! I think this is the story that most accurately portrays humans. We will risk our lives to save dogs trapped in icy lakes, or nurse back to health a baby duck, or make a prosthetic for a wounded turtle. This is my favorite story because it doesn't focus on our warlike nature, but our compassion for life other than our own

“I reject your reality, and substitute my own!”

[@DragonJohn]

bah, I was about to write that

[@olafcoleman9438]

the more i think about it, the more I feel like Adam Savage would be the perfect person to act as the captain if these stories ever got made into a movie or show

[@colossalslayer3616]

The captain is such a badass!

[@oilikaekoile]

Tip I learned from a major KZbin creator, Matpat: ask for only one thing, either comment, or subscribe, or a like. Asking for multiple makes any of them less likely; asking for only one of them makes it way more likely to happen. It was in one of the interviews he did close to or right after retiring. He had a 10+ year career and ran 4 channels successfully.

[@TheAechBomb]

yeah, just ask for a comment on what people thought, that seems to get the most engagement

[@BurningmonkeyGTR]

It definitely is great to have you back, and for more than one or two videos this time, hopefully many more

[@diamondwillow1191]

I definitely don't plan on leaving for another long hiatus any time soon! Hopefully never again!

[@durwardbevis9335]

I always look forward to your videos popping up DiamondWillow! Keep them coming and let us know when your Patreon is up!!!

[@danielbarlow3265]

"Were you killed?" "Sadly, yes. But I lived!"

[@red_wood_trees]

I love these videos. Your voice is really nice and the stories are good and the background is interesting. And the new editor is funny. What's not to love? Glad you're back.

[@AgreeableSmile]

Too true. I love this series

[@pillock654]

[@justsomejerseydevilwithint4606]

To maintain life, in human instinct, is to maintain the life of the group, for that group includes your children, their friends, their livelihood. To sacrifice your own life to ensure others' lives, therefore, is backed by biological impetus and psychological reinforcement. Your father GAVE HIS LIFE for you; you and your friends will be inspired to attempt to do the same should danger come. You may even survive the endeavour, and pass on MORE genes with that urge to put the group before yourself. Thus, Self-Sacrifice, though seemingly unintuitive and wasteful, is selected for in the human genome, and a valuable instinct that protects the tribe. As for interspecies altruism, humans have formed an interspecies bond that allowed them to quite possible outcompete their relatives; That of humans and wolves. This bond was built on pity forming into an altruistic, mutually beneficial bond with an entirely different species. That bond has since been supported by genetic selection multitude times, and so the human capacity for interspecies altruism has grown in the past 20,000 years or so, leading to the "Will pack-bond with anything" Stereotypically highly Xeno-social humans the galaxy knows so well today. That instinctual protection has thus transcended the genetic border of species, as protecting your tribe's dogs will ensure your tribe's prosperity, and thus your child's prosperity. And so while it may seem impossible for the logical jump from self-altruism to interspecies altruism to form genetically, Humanity's unique history with dogs has allowed the instinct to form.

[@huntre111]

'Hey aliens, we domesticated several of our predators for companionship and pack-bonded with unthinking an non-human robots we built ourselves, we'll throw ourselves onto the pyre for you too.'

[@jeffpennala5844]

I really enjoy the stories of "Krills Odessey with the Humans" original and not full of "at-the- last-minute we humans invented a new weapon with our indomitable human spirit whatever politically correct enemy". Your stories brighten my day, thank you!

[@Chokah]

Yay! More Vir,Krill,and WILLOW! I need to slap KZbin for not notifying me you were back!

[@Shythalia]

I thought that said "autism".

We are known for that too

The best training one can have in moments like these.

[@darreny1375]

Another one bites the dust !

[@El_Pendejo_De_Si_Mismo]

you are aware that never gonna give you up also works right?

[@tryplot]

@@darreny1375 technically that one is better, you want 100 bpm and stayin alive is 101 bpm. Also unfortunately, that song is more statistically accurate in times when cpr is performed.

[@chessqueen7282]

AYOOO SHES BACKKKK AND WITH HUMANS ARE SPACE ORCS TOO? WE BALL!

[@gyrrakavian]

That's the one thing that always bugs me about these sorts of stories. If the alien race is air breathing and space faring, then they should have learned something akin to CPR for their species. Only hard stiff beaks would get in the way of the breathing part of the procedure. The chest compressions should be mimicible by anything with manipulator limbs.

[@AspenBrightsoul]

So, during CPR, it is no longer recommended to give "the kiss of life." As it turns out, most lungs, especially mammalian lungs, self inflate. And if your lungs aren't self inflating... well, you have a bigger issue than breathing.

[@laurencefraser]

As for chest compressions, given the amount of force required to do that usefully for a human, and the fact that that much force is more than enough to damage the rib cage quite badly, and the need for the compressions to be Rythmic in order to do their thing properly, well, it's not hard to come up with reasons a species might not be able to actually perform that sort of trick. Now, being able to perform the task mechanically, in a hospital setting, sure, they absolutely should be able to. But that's a different matter entirely.

[@fishysolid7100]

yo we are so back!!!

[@juleksz.5785]

Second! Hey, I'm on Your discord server but since i was essentially inactive since joining i couldn't remember at all what this server was for or about. And YT notification, with this video make me remember!

[@fauzanamar]

I don't know why but i always imagine the captain to look exactly like big boss from mgsv

[@Elkillerduck]

I love the adventures of Krill and Captain Vir. Thank you for reading this.

[@mellotardeus3776]

I was hearing, Krill, missing eye, Vir until it clicked on me! Empyrean Iris! The short stories are really cool but when the main plot unravels it's awesome!!

[@NOOB-ps8km]

The story of Captain Adam Vir and Krill the Vrul is called "Empyrian Iris" in case anyone's wondering.

[@walstafa]

Thanks, the Humans Are Space Orcs stories are one of my favourite genres.

[@Jszar]

Someone should get together Krill and zoologists/sociologists of his species, and show them videos of wild Terran birds & mammals adopting one another’s young. It’d blow their minds.

[@vimtheprotogen2855]

I’m so glad I found you again! The last vid I saw of yours - when I was still in college - was _The Marathon_. I so looking forward to catching up!

[@RealArcalian]

Whatever-th Inspiring, entertaining. And I was sure the child was gone, and it would all be about the "Gesture." If we ever do find somebody out there, I hope it goes this well in terms of relations.

[@lewisloeb3009]

Guess whose back, back again captains back with krill his friend. Ah i always love these. Was wondering how many times i needed to watch the marathon one or prison one before a new one came out. Kept throwing in krill's first experience with sleep for good measure. Lol.

No I don't write these particular stories, I have the author linked in the description if you'd like to check them out though!

[@thecanadianbeast4858]

@@diamondwillow1191 I just might, thanks for telling me

[@ArchonPook]

I only discovered your videos a short while ago. They're very well done and I enjoy them. I've also discovered the difference between Humans are Space Orcs and HFY. I greatly prefer Humans are Space Orcs. I like stories about humans being helpful, friendly, and generally just people. HFY videos are more like 1980's action movies about humans being fierce warriors that shouldn't be trifled with. Your videos are much better. Thank you for sharing.

[@LiveSeruio]

So good

[@jbblades2835]

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. - Dylan Thomas 1914 -1953 the most human poem ever written by a human.

HELL YEA MORE CAPTAIN VIR LETS FUCKING GO

[@rustyshackleford6906]

Always happy to see a video from Willow! Seriously, it makes my day

[@MrSlosh]

I usually love these as wonderful elseworld fiction, but this one really took me out of the narrative. You're meaning to tell me that a species capable of inter-planetary trade and alliances somehow don't have the basic understanding of revival protocols in their medical system? Yeah, it may be rare but even human kids know that doctors can sometimes "wake up" people if they start dying. That feels like saying the Amish managed to open trade with Alpha Centauri without using electricity. I know I'm getting stuck on the wrong end of the point of this story, but a species as a whole willing to instantly write off their own after an accident just stretches the logic. I'm still struggling to find an equivalent from our world where an instant death sentence for kids doesn't have a dozen countermeasures to prevent it.

[@diamondwillow1191]

Yeah I think I went on a whole tangent while recording this one 😤 pretty sure my editors are putting it in the blooper reel
