Podcast is Called : ASN Humans Are Space Orcs , HFY and other stories
--------------
This Story is Classified as HFY or Humanity Feck, Yea , but what does the Mean?
-------------
HFY is a story/series that takes a “human element” in either humanity or an “other” (race/species or object) that exists in a “setting” (future or other world/universe) with varying levels of culture, technology, society and history that help show in some shape or form the potential good or bad for humanity’s race/culture. In These stories Humans are often referred to as Human, Humanity, Deathworlder, Hellwolder in reference to the human planet of origin , Earth. This planet is seen by most of the universe as a place where only death and chaos can survive.
-------------
Taken from the FAQ of the r/HFY subreddit.
Humans Are Space Orcs (HASO) or Humans Are (Fantasy Race) Are used as a guide when writing.
In these Stories we normally View humans like the other races view orcs in a Fantasy Novel. We (Humans) share the same characteristics and personalities as orcs. Humans are normally treated as the outsiders and barbarians. Humans tend to be underestimated as well in these stories. Unlike Humanity Feck Yea , these don't always put a positive spin on humans\humanity sometimes looking at the darker side of human and humanity from the perspective of aliens.

And notice that everyone did their jobs as needed. Nobody tried to be a "Lonewolf." Nobody said "Hey, protocol says we have to talk to the natives. Or, let's check out that old abandoned mine." They trusted their gut and trusted each other. And everyone made it home.

[@DragonJohn]

When you learn from fictional people's mistakes

[@randomstranger9674]

Let's split up so we can cover more ground.

[@garthrogers2269]

Someone did say "protocol is to speak with the natives", but Sarge said "Screw that, everyone inside now!"

[@jonnypena7651]

@@randomstranger9674 This is probably why I think terror movies makes fun of your intelligence, they are like "oh, that almost unkillable and unstopable monster is killing us 1 x 3, you know what can be a great idea? let 's split! so it can kill us 1x1"

[@Wastelandman7000]

Plus, you'll notice they had an APC, body armor, and serious weapons with them. If our horror movies are true think of what they've had to fight...... Which is why they called in a planet cracker. Only way to be sure is to nuke it from orbit.

[@gendor5199]

"You think we could get the name of the contractor who made these roads?" "NO!"

[@davethompson3326]

Make sure no Corporation even knows they exist

[@MrGoesBoom]

Would love to see more stories with this squad. They get all the 'fun' jobs because they manage to keep coming back alive

[@davethompson3326]

Rookie mistake, at least lose one or two annoying ones.

[@kicker7872]

Want more of horror encounters from this squad it was good

[@gasydevil6229]

Ye man some hyfy creepy pasta scooby doo stuff

[@Wastelandman7000]

The truly scary thing is that the Terran found real world examples from our horror movies and fiction. The fliers from Pitch Black. The Thing....The Blob....Invasion of the Body Snatchers...Aliens.... Apparently our horror writers are clairvoyant. No wonder they sent a full combat team with an APC.

[@truekurayami]

Hey some people do hypothosize that if there are multiple/parallel worlds the human subconscious is actually viewing portions of some of those worlds when we are use our imaginations either when we are dreaming or when we come up with such stories.

[@davethompson3326]

If they found Shoggoth, I'm moving Galaxies.

Problem is, if that device contains the SCP catalogue, Planet-crackers will not be remotely sufficient.

[@louistarnsman6330]

Well played! 👏👏👏

[@MadaraUchihamizukage]

A sensible Story. Find Galactic Horror, don't argue, dont't try to make Friends and don't try to understand them. Call a Planetcracker and be done with it. Love it.

[@williambishop2384]

I keep remembering Newt in Aliens saying, "They mostly come out at night...most-ly".

[@nightbanegodnomadicdruid6698]

The fact that I could see Cortez getting ready with a grin when he was called out at the end was "Chefs.Kiss" attention to detail. I'm dying laughing and still want a whole hell of a lot more. I see future episodes where we find out some of the discovered alien horrors!

[@mattbrown5511]

Sounds like an episode of Star Trek where the leadership has a brain and common sense.

[@batuarganda728]

They were genre savvy enough not to wear red

[@taitano12]

Ah, yes. Orville and Lower Decks. 😊

[@draxsis]

Well. That was absolutely horrifying. Good thing everyone but Snitch is genre savvy and Snitch was smart enough to follow his team’s lead. Normally barricading in the basement is a pretty bad idea but this time it was the best idea. Also good plan to not take the possibly compromised shuttle back to the ship. As it is I hope they abandoned the APC just in case.

[@mattbrown5511]

Alien taught us many lessons.

[@batuarganda728]

Every piece of equipment unsupervised in a hostile environment is a huge turn off

[@blendpinexus1416]

that "oh" XD dude finally understood the horror that was being dealt with.

[@jiidee]

When the characters know what kind of story they're in.

[@michaelyoung7261]

Finally someone who has seen the stupidity in horror films and did the actually sensible thing

[@Lucian00311]

From the title, i was expecting all the aliens gathered together to watch Star Wars, but what I got instead was some Dead Space ? Left4Dead ? jumpscare. I did not need sleep tonight anyway.

[@Terran.Marine.2]

Electric shaver!😂

[@mackenziedrake]

Yep, gotta know your role... Great telling, as always. Thank you!

heck has frozen over a group of people in a horror situation with actual brains. I love it!!!

I'm getting a distinct John Hurt vibe from one of those voices.

[@mikecoatsworth6048]

OMG just caught that this is ALIEN'S but smart Marines

[@merlinathrawes746]

So horror movies and nightmares are precognition of what we found in the stars? Ouch!

[@zuzax1656]

Or..., it is genetic memory from when aliens planted us here...

[@merlinathrawes746]

@@zuzax1656 Hadn't thought of that possibility. Thank you for mentioning that.

[@TheLastGarou]

That kind of thing leaves an imprint. Certain individuals are going to be more sensitive to such than others.

[@dalemorgan8263]

Beautiful story, excellent narration, immediately rewatching.

[@MidnightSmoke]

Here is a like and comment for the story, for entertaining me, to help your channel grow, to appease the great and powerful KZbin algorithm demon, and get you the recognition you deserve.

[@oldbutnotdead1]

Dang, missed the live. Excellent twist at the end!

I'll never think of knockers in the same way again.

A great parody of Star Trek aided and abetted by Agro Squirrel. Thank you. UKUK

Great story; Excellent narration! I thought, for sure, the Sarge was going to say... "We call in a Dreadnought and nuke'm from orbit. Its the only way to be sure." LOL!!!

Dang I missed the Premiere while doing yard work but it's really funny that this story popped up just as I started playing the first Dead Space game again.

Wonderfully read as always. A perfect slow burn of a story... More like this please!

[@jeanannd]

A road of horror? The inhabitants of the planet? Good story!

[@derekstein6193]

I am thinking it is some kind of murderous, alien, elder-thing cryptid that vaguely resembles a colossal starfish made out of the bones of Stelos cultists, with way too many toothy maws on its underside.

[@davidaward82]

'horns made of fingernails' ... ... you mean, 'horns' then? they're all keratin.

[@davidaward82]

@poiujnbvcxdswq what do you think hair is made of?

[@davidaward82]

@poiujnbvcxdswq also, for clarity, the bumps on a giraffe's head are not horns. they are called ossicones, which is the term for a subdermal bony protrusion.

[@taitano12]

I just imagine fingernail shaped horns. Perhaps they evolved from, or still are, burrowing critters that can use their heads like dozers and shovels.

[@davidaward82]

@@taitano12 'fingernail shaped' horns would be absolutely terrible for digging, nails are remarkably weak.

[@derekstein6193]

I was expecting some kind of stinger at the end. Something like the team taking the surviving Stelos with them, and it turning on them while they escaped in their spacecraft, or the team's resident alien unwittingly taking some unknown item with them that eventually turned them one-by-one into "night knockers".

Almost all inhabited worlds would be alive in some format. This one is also not dead when it should be.

@artyd42 that is true .but I mean more in like ...it's more an animal than a planet while being registered as a planet lol. Like the giant bug in starship troopers . I should have clarified .
