I used to read voraciously but over time my eyesight has made it painful to try and focus. That's why I really appreciate websites like this one. Thanks for narrating a wonderful story.

[@jonathanharris4871]

I like this one. It reminds me of Mr Starman & Advice from the End of Eternity. A momentary lapse of judgment, a loss of control, lead to far reaching and long lasting consequences that even a godlike being couldn't undo. A eternity of regret.

[@tijanska]

The writer here... Exactly what I was trying to portray! I'm glad you liked it 🙂

[@DarkKnightCap]

Seriously incredible writing.

[@tijanska]

Hey! The writer here... Thank you very much! ☺

[@annicoyne2983]

Best narrator so far from the dark Cosmic team... Great balance of drama & allowing us to get lost in the story rather than the noises & voices. Please, please read more.

[@malicious81]

I absolutely love everything about this. The storytelling, the emotion of the narration. And last but not least; the sound design is top notch! Thank you to everyone involved in the making of this!

Author here. Thank you for your comment! I'm happy you loved it :)

[@rayzorrayzor9000]

Brilliant story and narration . My only confusion was over the journey in the “Rover” , seeing as they were moving forwards they would’ve been passing any dust that was kicked up before it could effect the windshield and forward facing camera - both should’ve been clear whilst the ‘Rover’ stayed in motion , no matter how much dust was kicked up .😂😂😂

[@fashiondollshoes]

I don't know why KZbin originally recommended this channel for me, but I'm glad it did. I've listened to a couple of stories and I enjoyed this one very much. Even though it's totally different, the story reminded me of one of my favorite books, Childhood's End. I've always liked the approach of a story spanning very long time periods, being more about the civilization than the individuals.

[@TheDarkCosmos1]

Thanks a lot for taking to show appreciation!!

[@tijanska]

Author here. Many thanks!!! And the comparison to Clarke... I'm not worthy. Love him too. My fav is "Rendezvous with Rama" though.

[@cloudyjane2694]

So I've always enjoyed the great sound design on the channel, but I just started using good headphones rather than my phone speaker, and I must say that I now realize that Claire does such an amazing job that these stories sound better than allot of big Hollywood movies.

Why does Mission Control sound like the borg

[@wikikomoto]

"royalty free" music!? this is the black prophecy soundtrack!! great use of it though, i'm amazed anyone else even REMEMBERS black prophecy. what a fantastic game. star citizen before star citizen...

[@bominablebominations]

Well I'll give you this - you caused me to look up Black Prophecy. At least it got released for a year... unlike... you know. Also - as the person who voiced and put together all the audio for this story? I can swear on a stack of Bhagavad Gitas that the music is from independant creative sources, despite any coincidental resemblance that game that was out between 2011 and 2012. Did you play it? Was it like? Yours truly, Thomas B - host of 'Bominable 'Bominations

[@wikikomoto]

@@bominablebominations the song in this video at about 23:40 is SEARED into my mind!! its one of the "epic battle" themes from black prophecy, epic battle 2 to be exact kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWKWZ3WwepyWl5Y oh i even found it on youtube!! thats confirmed, you can hear for yourself!! its a BEAUTIFUL soundtrack, and the give away is that the main black prophecy theme motif is used throughout the song too, all the songs have the reoccurring motif from the main theme in them, which is AMAZING!! the opening cutscene has always stuck with me.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z53WYXWunKprfrM here is the opening cinematic!! you can get a feel for the world from this, it also includes the theme song which is such an earworm, once you hear it, you can't help but notice it in all the other songs as for the game itself, it was fantastic !!! it was a space shooter in the vein of freelancer, but it was actually designed to work with flightsticks (unlike most modern space games which are mouse and keyboard first, stick second) the game was super open and just let you do what you wanted. everything from ship customization to character customization was crazy in depth. and there was so much fun just going from system to system and manually landing on each station, and leaving your ship and walking around inside was just... so ahead of its time. its still such a shame that games like this are just... gone forever now. its the first game in my memory that shut down, where most of the in game data was server side. so fans couldn't re-create private servers.... it seems like more and more online games are just becoming lost media, and it KILLS me. especially for something like black prophecy which just OOOOOZZED atmosphere and had such deep lore and such an incredible and well realized universe... i could go on and on about it, about the transhumanism, the weird lovecraftian cult that rules humanity (oh you should look up the cathedral theme from the game its played on a real organ and its beautiful) and the... maybe?? aliens??? or maybe false flag aliens that just exist to start a new war?? oh man, the story had so many layers... ANYWAYS LOL yeah, beautiful game. thanks for your story though
