    Story One
    Krill, an alien aboard a human spaceship, discovers the unique and terrifying nature of human sleep. Initially horrified by what he perceives as the death-like state of sleeping humans, he learns that their brains shut down to a level comparable to death to preserve energy, enhance memory, and aid healing. This nightly process, critical for human survival, highlights their unique resilience and connection to the brink of death. Krill's observations underscore the humans' remarkable biological adaptability and their enigmatic dance with the void each night.
    Story Two
    Krill, a trauma doctor at a major intergalactic medical facility, had only heard stories about humans until an emergency brought him face-to-face with them. When a human with a metal rod through his brain arrived, Krill was astonished by the human's survival and ability to speak despite the severe injury. The incident revealed the remarkable resilience the human species, sparking Krill’s fascination. Despite his initial skepticism about the stories he had heard, this encounter led to Krill joining a human crew, eager to learn more about their extraordinary durability and pain tolerance.
    Story Three
    The Drev, a formidable warrior race, believed they could easily defeat the Galactic Assembly, dismissing humans as weak and fragile. Initially, the Drev overwhelmed the humans, but the humans adapted, enhancing themselves with cybernetic augmentations that made them stronger and more resilient. The Drev were astonished as humans returned to battle with mechanical limbs, enhanced senses, and reinforced bodies. This unprecedented adaptation turned the tide of war, leading the Drev to their first-ever surrender. The narrative highlights human resilience and ingenuity, showcasing how they turned defeat into strength, ultimately earning the respect of their enemies.

    Emergency first aid tip:
    In the event of many eye injuries, BANDAGE BOTH EYES.
    Especially in puncture injuries, movement of the injured eye makes things worse.
    Wherever the uninjured eye looks, the injured eye will follow. So, bandage both eyes and get that person to a hospital.

    What a strange sory. I am certain, in a real starship the crew will be divided into three groups, each on a twentyfour hour cycle eight hours from the other. When one has "morning" the next has "midafternoon" and the final, "night". Even on Earfth, for factories or business that must run twenty-four hours a day, there is "day shift", "second shift", and "night shift". In such situations, workers hate when such businesses or factories use "swing shift" where they are cycled through the shifts on a weekly basis.

    @JustinMcGee-be8fu Před 2 dny

    Really simple way to get the krill caught up on sleeping. Take him to the ships medical bay, have him speak with a doctor and give him the pertinent literature to read up on the subject. Seems kinda cruel to see him freaking out about it as much as he did and then just.. let him figure it out on his own.
    Also why wouldn't the space ship have shifts? Any other vessel that requires a crew to operate and must do so 24 hours a day is going to have a day shift and a night shift at least. All krill would of had to do is just go grab someone from the night shift to begin to explain things to him, but beyond that its a bit of a suspension of disbelief, I'd imagine before there is any sort of cultural exchange, especially with an alien being apparently alone amongst a human crew, its obvious languages and such were already exchanged but to my mind it would seem that basic biology would be exchanged as well. What if Krill were to become Ill on the trip? How would a human doctor know what to do for him without his government sending along some information on what can be done, even just the basics such as if his species has such a quirk as sleeping is for us.
    I get thats nit picky and its a funny story but ... yeah..

      Military has done extensive studies to push the limits and found what we known for decades 8 is the golden rule. However it can be broken into shifts of 3-4 hours as needed in a 24hr cycle.
      My unit we would work 48hr shits regularly with 2 ppl staying and working day and nights sleeping in shifts. To care for the animals in the winter. Lot of work to keep military horses alive and well and few soldiers do it these days with the army having the last fully functioning cavalry unit in the military with no civilian help or fancy heated bays.
      Nope just concentrate blocs with tin roof for the animals and the humans get the old barn from when we had less animals and no the main barn is not heated either only one tiny room and a space heater even today.

Hell hot sauce is an abomination to most other creatures cant tolerate. The fumes alone has an adverse effect on other animals. Also the main cause of death in many humans isn't the damage to the body but the loss of fluids. The human body can handle an amazing amount of damage and still heal but once we loose too much blood its all over.

    Ocean-going vessels on Earth IRL are never without a standing crew.
    The idea that an alien might be shocked by the sleep cycle of humans is a great one.
    The idea that a human spaceship might be unmanned for eight hours out of every 24 is absurd. Never mind that they'd just let some alien new arrival wander about the ship while they all went to sleep in quarters that were unlocked.
    It's idiotic.

    Funny story, but i think the author doesn't know anything about ships.

    Ok, several flaws in the story made me not enjoy the story. Aside of the fact that humans do not require at least 8 hours of sleep, most go fine with 6 or 7, with 6 being a bare minimum for healthy life, there is one bigger mistake. Humans never all go to sleep when on duty. Not on the starship of all places. There would be 2 or more likely 3 shifts! But, ok... it is a fun story.
