Captain Elias Kyte faces the Tribunal of United Systems, accused of war crimes against the Xill Empire. Kyte’s ruthlessness during the war – which pushed humanity to the brink of extinction – ensured their survival but at a great cost. On trial, he reveals disturbing truths about the Xill that shift the narrative: They were not the provoked victims they seemed. Through flashbacks and witness testimony, Kyte exposes the darkness in human hearts and the deeper darkness in the enemy they faced.

A Story about Humanity and the lingering darkness in every single human who had ever lived and will live in the aeons to come. Unspoken War-crimes as the last straw of hope to end a war before going extinct – Humanity would do it. Humanity would crack planets and burn out entire stars – hell Humanity would forge Black Holes if necessary to end a war.
A morality play.
Dunno about anyone else, but this story kinda got me a bit teary eyed several times.
Most of the issue is the xeno's inability to see humanity in any other way out side of their own narrow minded schizophrenic paranoiac prejudges fear's. They gave into all their abnormal xeno fears which killed their minds and a ability to be rational beings.
Wow, that was excellent
Excellent.
What an awesome story and a great cautionary morality tale embedded within…
glassing worlds with active biospheres is bad enough, but literal planet cracking? unacceptable.
Interesting story.
Very original, much credit to the author.
You gotta do voices. Nothing crazy but slight variety between characters. The voices make it more immersive media than an “audio book”
First time here, looking for an addition to ASN. Thanks for the great story and great voice
That is was a good story and do what a good sci-fi story should do entertain and make you think
Now that’s a great story. I was hoping that the Captain started some type of personal relationship with his lawyer. She seemed nice and was almost certainly the only being that understood him.
Is it fair to say ‘It’s better to be judged by 12, than to be carried by 6.’
Excellent story – much credit to the author & you for reading it.
No need to do voice's – stay as you are 👍
Great story!!
Excellent Story! BRAVO! ,the Alien entity Midway through sounds like Chuthlu, from HP Lovecraft. Also, if anybody has been following the REAL alien news about supposedly interdimensional beings, in Miami and Las Vegas?. Ive read that these beings FEED on emotions, that they can feed on happy emotions for substanace , BUT their Filet mignon, is chaotic emotions if fear and dread and horror. Obviously, these are theorys , But, its something to DEFINITELY think 🤔 about.
Reminds me of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. The Jedi who left to fight in the Mandolorian War were branded heretics and villains by some, saviors and heroes by others, especially given how that war ended, using a device that literally ripped a planet into pieces, an act that, since it used the Force to power it, caused the fall of almost every Jedi there.
That said, this was the same sort of choice, and without the threat of a metaphysical thing behind it to corrupt people. This was the story of a man faced with no way to save his people, without becoming a monster, and he chose that path, if not willingly, then at least knowingly, since it was the only one that would see them as anything other than thralls or lessers.
I'm still curious about the Council. Again, this sort of alliance of bastards really doesn't bode well for the future dealings. They would condemn what one race does to survive, without condemning those who put them to it until they're forced to confront it, as there's almost no way anyone who knew what he'd done, wouldn't know at least SOME of what happened to drive him to it.
A really good scene and setting, thank you for sharing.
Finally a story written with real maturity that understands how actual politics and war works. One that knows what the real costs are and not some teen drama level bs like 99% of them.
A true gem of story with the best understanding of morality in unrestricted warfare.
That was a thoroughly interesting and thought provoking story, thankyou writer and narrator. Please keep up the great work. 👍
14:34 Did I hear that right? Were ther actually some aliens who wanted Humanity disarmed? 😂😂😂😂 We can't even disarm ourselves without risking a war. I would love to see how any of these xenos would even try that.
