Back with my old microphone setup, with some beefier acoustic treatment. Made a mistake with the subtitles at 0:40. It should be “Kresh” not “Crash.” (Referring to the invaders)

[@bigunone]

Sound was perfect. Most of the time I'm just listening so subtitles don't make any difference

[@gyrrakavian]

Bravo! Well read all the same!

[@CherubielOne]

One hell of a pilot - no way to bring down the ship, so they bring down the enemies ships, haha.
Superb narration, a treat to listen to!

[@misterben4360]

Holy shit this is amazing. I forgot to put it on tumblr, did this morning, and told my readers that I actually strongly recommended listening to it here over reading it there. The pilots in the airforce base near me have this very country-swagger to them, and I wrote the captains with that voice in mind. Your german accent is infinitely better.
You did this piece better than me. I am amazed. Stunning work as always.

[@BirbletonVA]

Thank you so much. That’s awesome I’m honoured. I’m so glad you like it. I’m always a little nervous thinking about the original writer listening in haha. Always a massive sigh of relief when there’s approval 😂 The pilot was voiced by a good friend of mine. You reminded me to credit him in the description actually whoops

[@Isaic02]

"Holy shit this is amazing."
My exact words as it ended! Well written and well narrated: thanks to you both!

[@bigunone]

Damn onion ninjas are here again. Greater love.....

[@BirbletonVA]

Those onion ninjas do be pesky…

[@bigunone]

@@BirbletonVA For sure!

InBabylonTheyWept. Amazing author. Always able to pluck at the heart strings.

[@misterben4360]

Oh! Thanks dude. I’m proud to be known. :)

[@flakbait5771]

I have heard others read this story before, but your dispassionate delivery elevated the tale. The tone worked exceptionally with the piece. Nicely done.

[@martyschrader]

These are the kinds of stories I miss from my formative years. The narration adds a bit of depth that I hadn't known was missing. Very, very nice.

[@Redman147]

That was deep. Almost made me think that this story was more about a son coming after his father with the father acknowledging the sons ability, even if it was a slim margin.
Also love your narration. It's simple. I think over time you'll develope more voices, internal and external, and more natural feeling will enter into the characters. Keep up the good work. If my voice wasn't so cracked I'd love doing things like this. Unfortunately last time I did anything voice worthy people's only compliment was that I sounded like a recording xD.

[@BirbletonVA]

Definitely as I go along. Need to work on my range, more variety would definingly spice things up a bit. Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@markl4593]

Good yarn, but the honest reason I come is for your narration.

[@novusaldynn8121]

and they keep coming, another great narration. Thank you.

[@teddyrasputin3850]

This was great. Reminds me of the good old days of hard SF but with believable story and motivation fused in. Looking forward to more. Thanks to you und smalklein.

[@bigearl3867]

I kept skipping past this story. That was a mistake. And it led me to sub.

[@Ghost_Ark66]

Great story i cant wait for the next upload i already watched the rest of the catalog lol

[@BirbletonVA]

Aye that’s awesome. Thanks for listening in

[@KatyManning-xd6lr]

Love the effects

[@russellperry9902]

[@stevenharper5055]
