An HFY Story : Pandora's Favor | 2418 ~Deathworld, War, Terran and Humans

[@autistandcat6804]

Anyone else need a part 2 to this?

[@kackfresse84]

Oh yes

[@kiwiperspective8656]

Yip, I could do with a part 2.

[@ArronRatliff]

Yeppers.

[@regulardadgaming]

Yes but assuming part one wasn't a bluff part two would have to be mostly about the galaxy reacting to what happens next

[@darwinskeeper421]

Definitely interested.

[@Tiewaz]

I love the implication that humans are still fighting each other...and it doesn't seem to be out of malice. Just...space rugby. With ships. And booms.

[@ArronRatliff]

Humans do like when things go BOOM.

[@Tiewaz]

@@ArronRatliff I confess my favorite explosion of all time was when Mythbusters vaporized a cement truck. It makes me giggle every time I watch it.

[@Dilligaf-m7s]

Liking things that go boom is written into our dna. Let’s be honest we like explosions and cars and a combustion engine is basically lots of explosions making the car move.

[@mattbrown5511]

Military types think of that as amusement. You don't want to know what we take seriously.

When a human walks. Watch. When two humans talk. Listen. When two humans bicker. Plan. When two humans see you as a threat. RUN.

[@artyd42]

When two humans who are enemies see you as a threat. It's already too late.

An intriguing idea and storyline.

[@unclepewter4161]

I just wanted to let you know that you have ruined every other KZbin sci-fi channel for me lol. I went back and watched every episode of your videos

[@ironwolfF1]

Most of the others rely on sub-par AI chat bots to provide narration (not to mention those channels that rely on AI-generated dreck for stories), they're a pale shadow of ASN. That being said, ASN is likely the best HFY channel on YT...

[@David-q3k9e]

Same! The others suck. A.g.s. rules!

[@unclepewter4161]

Exactly. I wouldn’t mind if the AI could at least pronounce the words correctly

[@christopherhanley3917]

Ignoring the ai or not his voice is perfectly melodic for this kind of work. 10 out of 10 will listen again.

[@statmonster]

Equally ASN also seems to do an excellent job of curating his stories. This is crucial. So many of the other channels seem to be AI written stories that have internally inconsistent plots full of holes and contradictions and too much in the way of melodramatic cliches.

[@GenStallion]

There goes the neighborhood.They better hope the humans go back to playing with each other afterward. And I didn't realize it was two human empires till the end.

[@ravenouself4181]

"Wait, the ones You perceive as the greatest threat are other humans?" "Yes. Now, if You'll excuse us both, we have an entire race to xenocide out of existence."

A favor is owed and a favor will be paid. Just don't blame me if you get what you're asking for.

[@thomasschulz2167]

Congratulations, you just gave the two most powerful forces in the Galaxy a common foe and reason enough to to lay down arms against each other. What comes next will inspire enough fear in everyone else that the galaxy will be turned on it's head. Assuming the galaxy survives the turmoil that follows the eradication of the Legion, the actions taken over the next 3 days will be the basis of myth and legend.

[@Dilligaf-m7s]

You forgot and nightmares

When humans decide to take things seriously, hide.

The voices are getting so much better! I can hear the note of authority and sense of despair in the characters. I hope we don't lose the narrator to voice acting in movies!

[@leightondoswell453]

For the love of SCIENCE fiction, THAT voice, and the greatest of stories.🎉

[@Ackalan]

This reminds me of my Stellaris strategy of always keeping my largest shipyard and dock inside a nebula. No one ever knows how large my fleet really is until the Crisis arrives.

Can always be guessed by looking at your diplomatic weight from ships, take of % bonus and compare it with your own without % bonus and increase or decrease the value based how many times your value fits into the other value...

​@@YSaturn That's why you play a build that doesn't need the Galactic Community.

[@jeanannd]

Good story. Like Pandora's box, once unleashed, you can't put things back into the box again when they are freed.

[@GentleRain-d6j]

Pandora’s Jar & the moral of the old tale was that Hope is a Demon too… The mother of false expectations, assumptions- Hope is the daughter of the 7 Deadly Sins… … Such a Despicable Demon she is- that upon the gates of hell- it is rumored to have written: “ Abandoned by Hope all ye who enter here “

[@cardinalenergy21]

@@GentleRain-d6j it's pandora's box, from greek mythology, and no, the moral isn't that hope is a demon, wasn't even demons that came out of the box, but was all the troubles of the world such as sickness and disasters, the greeks didn't even have actual demons, the moral of the story is, even with all the troubles and pain in the world, there is still always hope, even if it's beaten and battered and crushed in the corner, it's still there

[@supremecaffeine2633]

​@@GentleRain-d6j Pandora's Jar is a modern fanfiction of Greek mythology.

[@Nempo13]

@@GentleRain-d6j Written on the gates of hell is 'Abandon all hope ye who enter here.' How could you get two very separate mythos so very wrong?
