A human delegation arrives at delicate intergalactic peace talks, armed with a unique translator device. Unforeseen 'malfunctions' lead to the Zarlonians, their negotiation rivals, freely insulting them - unaware that the humans understand every word. This sets off a chain of events where simmering tensions ignite. It becomes clear that the humans are playing a dangerous game, and the translator device itself may hold the key to their true purpose.

Voice Acting keeps getting better and better
It's great to see another human narrator take the stage....
Keep up the great work ‼️🍻
I don't follow how one hot mic incident caused an empire to lose all diplomatic status.
Politicians here are caught saying daming things all the time. They just apologize and everyone moves on.
Authors have fanciful realities, the whole story was naive and infantile. The narration was great, but the premise of the story was downright nonsensical. Lost interest within moments of "the aliens lied to us and a bunch of the galaxy instantly decided to contact us with agreements and alliance proposals" what bunk.
@@Jagabot_Esq. I love how divided the whole comment section literally seperates into like 3 groups within hours XD
@@Jagabot_Esq. AI was ana author here. No doubt about it.
@@AenVegra 3? Hmmmm
1. Story Great
2. Narrator great story great
3. Narrator great story sucks
4. Story written by bot narrator should be ashamed to read this schlock
5. Idiots like me who just make jokes
@@DeathclawJedi FAIR ENOUGH
But yeah, basically the top three XD
Props to both the author and the narrator... This page is definitely getting better with age. 8/10.... 👍👍
Seriously? Captain Marko Ramius? Hmm...where have I heard that name before...could it be The Hunt For Red October?
That happens a lot with AI written stories. I don't know how many times I've heard well known names from sci-fi TV shows, movies, and novels.
Yeah I saw that very quickly. I have watched that movie at least five times.
I know right?
@@jacquisampson-marat5277 Even heard the Klingons mentioned
We should be happy that they also did not include James Bond here I guess. Same actor.
Great story and well read! Awesome!
I love science fiction - it's never perfect, as it attempts to make a point as determined by the author... and entertain. Sir, you fulfilled both.
Fluorescent lighting. Some hi tech shit there. Hunt for Red October.
The AI has regurgitated that lighting error a few times now 😂
I noticed also.
I think this one said 'fluorescence' rather than the other one that said 'fluorescent lighting'.
Also, fun detail. My insectoid ships use fluorescent lighting. However that fluorescence comes from the air itself, which they breathe. Which also is an energy generation system. The whole thing is charged with energy... basically.
It's way more efficient than LEDs... because all the energy not converted into light is radiated away into usable power for the ship. Basically, just a matter of 'does it go to light, or does it go to heat, or does it go to chemical energy through thermogalvanic cells?'
😊
That's recessed LED panels, meant to give that retro look of florescent bulbs.
That was really good and earned you a new subscriber
Well written and well read... well done...
So you are congratulating in writing skills of an AI? :D
@@Sig509not an AI dumbass.
@@Sig509 Starbound stories are read by a real person, this isn't the stupid AI written stories so many other channels have, that are filled with captions that wreak of mistakes and a "read" that follows writing mistakes with a storyline that follows an illogical path, oftentimes changing 2 or times partway through, making the story non-sensical...No, I doubt this story, or the others on Starbound, are AI written, and should any be such, they are proofread and corrected before being narrated...
Random Suggestion. Don't start your mid story "interruption" with "Sorry to interrupt..."
I would politely suggest: "Thanks for listening, this is your mid-story reminder to like and subscribe if you're enjoying this! Now back to the story :)"
Or something along those lines. Keep it positive (and short) rather than apologetic. You're working on growing your audience. Be proud of it not something that you should feel is a burden.
/end random marketing advice.
The Hunt for Red October lol.
At night, too!
i love watching these when high, and your voice is smoothing so im gonna subscribe. so i dont lose you after a week of hyper-fixation of course.
Edit: I needed to look up the definition of "of course" and forgot to pause the video. I am now entirely lost in wtf is going on.
I don't get this story (the translator/ recorder), it just didnt register. The writing is good. Narration is a little over the top in one section but is good.
Sun Tzu - 'Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak
You Did Well - Thanks
wow great story!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Never cared much for the zarlonians. You can't ever be sure what theur angle is...
The best channel.
Isn't it nice to hear a real human voice rather than some robot?
Wait, if the device is replaying the alien's speech in the alien's language, wouldn't that appear to just be a normal recording, which gives no indication of whether or not it can translate it.
Palpable intrigue.💋
Srsly listen to the layers of possibilities as it is written & narrated. Twain is jelly! 🦋

Really like this story!
22:26 Okay I have a philosophical question here. If the Zarlonians are the type of entities to hold a grudge, or refuse to let the past stay in the past, explain to me how they didn't self-destruct into factions long ago.
I love this story. My only criticism is the intterrption by the host to appeal for subscription.He should have waited for the end of the sotry.
The best selling item from earth...the whoppy cushion and fake pooh.
CZcamss algorithm has recently started offering lots of stories like this about humans outsmarting aliens or defeating them in battle. A peculiar power fantasy, shared by several authors, or maybe a realization that stories like these have become popular, maybe?
They are popular in the same way that people like to watch Critical Drinker tear apart some shitty movie to shreds. At least the comments I have read in the one other I watched would imply this. While there are a couple people who think the stories are good, there is a substantial number who roll eyes and point out flaws and inconsistencies.
0:21 Wait, people are starching suits in the future? Why? 🤔🤔
Given the diversity of languages on earth and the comprehensive classification systems developed to group them I have often thought that we should be able to come up with a universal translator. A sort of google translate 50.9 so to speak. Granted vocabulary and pronunciation will likely be radically different but it seems to me there are only so many basic grammar rules that one can have. And since we might not be able to replicate some of the sounds of other species it would be necessary to have a device to accommodate that. One complication might be if there are visual cues to the language in question. Like if they say "boo" but their skin turned purple, it would mean something different than if they said "boo" and their skin turned green. 🤷♀
If there exists an intergalactic group that we have to join, then, in the same way that the EU has a small number of "official languages" for speaking and writing, there will probably be standard trade languages to accommodate the numerous languages in the intergalactic community - all we would have to do would be to learn them.
And if the aliens were experienced, they would use a dialect to talk in front our faces - or better yet use a device to text to each other. lol. One wonders if it wouldn't be the norm in other alien races to have a multitude of languages or would our abilities turn out to be a galactic quirk? The story could be written about that. We developed translator software because we actually need to - and other alien race never did that because they just had the one or two language structures and stuck to it. And this can't be a galactic community with a number of different species but maybe an empire of only one. Because the moment you have a bunch of different species with their own language, the study of linguistics would become a necessity.
I have to agree with others who point out that the political fallout as described here seems rather unrealistic. In the real world, the ambassadors would be recalled profuse apologies would be sent and negotiations would resume as if nothing happened.
Not a bad story. At least it doesn't sound like something cobbled together by Mills & Boon.
This story reminded me of President Trumps-interaction with international policies. We were strong because we were feared.
Nope, doesn't work that way
Well read Sir....well read indeed........
Balls
15:31 I'm sorry but we didn't get to the top of the food chain based on our unarmed strength. Heck a pair of Belgian Malinois could take out most unarmed humans (and I am only using "most" instead of "all," because well, there might always be some exception out there). I mean, it is a nice idea and one might wish it were so - but don't get too enamored of that unless Ramirez is genetically altered. But even so, carbon has its plusses but also its limits.
17:01 I'm sorry but this is hysterically funny. A single grainy bit of footage and suddenly they are all afraid of Bigfoot? Not a single sceptic among them? Hey, this is staged footage. Hey this is cgi. This is only one guy don't worry about it.🙄
Don't become a military strategist - you will get us all killed. Again, we didn't get to the top of the food chain on our unarmed strength and it is likely that they didn't either.

Sir, are you ok, you don't look ok, is someone holding you locked up in a 10 by 10 shed forcing you to do this?
