yeah, I feel like first contact should be able to recoup the profits of 100 years of a single human. hell just a a small communications fee set up and it'll probably turn a profit in a few days.
@@TheForbiddenHeaven If he really wanted, he could probably just retire there. A whole planet in his name, a society entirely indebted to him. Maybe not the retired life he's looking for, but he would for sure be taken care of as the population sets down roots and grows.
A measly 2 million for a freshly terraformed planet? Which is the life savings of a single individual? That speaks volumes about how advanced and widespread humanity has become when a planet is equivalent in value to a current day mansion.
There is a theory out there that if we actually managed to achieve the ability to mine asteroids, a single asteroid would contain enough raw material for us to become a post scarcity society... Effectively becoming The Federation from Star Trek.
@@zephyrstrife4668 well , a better realistic version of trek aka... currency maintained with maths to be stable and as drones sustain 90% of the civilian populance there be some sort of 'basic sustenance' for an individual though kept 'moderate' so to avoid great filter risks that a post scarcity situation can allow if used in short sighted manners
@@zephyrstrife4668 We have had similar things happen in reality and that never happened. The economy adjusts. Even if we all had billions of dollars, that doesn't guarantee that there will be more potatoes produced, which means potatoes might start going for $10B a piece. Your speculation is literally not at all how economics or markets work and if implemented as stated, would completely destroy the worlds economy. It's a cool fantasy but shows a fundamental lack of understanding of how markets, commodities or money works.
well , currency you know ,post scarcity society likely has to turn value of such things over to math equations based on what resources it takes to produce the most basic needs for an sapient individual , rather then the whims of desires since otherwise you get the situation of an mmo where everyone can print gold and npcs sells everything aka.... the inflation never stop
The currency is probably very valuable to the point these 2 million were almost enough to ensure his retirement for what seems to be several centuries of life left, as he isn't worried that he'd need to work "a few hundred more years" to be able to retire again which means he still get at least a few more centuries of a healthy body to enjoy even before having to retire
RIP to the old xeno. He didn't get to see his pray answered just within minutes of his death. And of Julian, he could just make his retirement home on that new planet. I'm sure the rescued alien wouldn't mind. He's their savior.
thank you for narrating one of my silly scribblings :) i LOVED writing this one. its nice to have some wholesome stuff. FOR THE ALGORITHM. FOR THE BEARD. FOR THE EMBODIED VOICE
Mmm... yes, this fits: "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. "Love never fails."
such a horror story for the 3 civilizations in this tale. As I'm listening am wondering why and how this all suddenly happened to these people on their world? Humanity to the rescue.
Star going red giant or orbital change. It will happen to earth in a few hundred million years. In our case orbital decay bringing us closer to the sun.
@TsorovanZero I would agree, but all life would have been lost. The water disappearing as impossible as it is sounds is almost like something akin to the sun going threw an expansion slow enough to burn the water into the atmosphere but not enough to burn all life out yet. We all know he saved them because they looked like cats.
I was surprised at the ending. I was expecting Julius to say, either Yeah Boss, I cleared the planet, you can sell it/colonize it now, the previous owners/occupants, are in transit. or Yeah boss, I got us 27,000 new slaves, of 3 different races. They will be worth a chunk of change. But this ending is better.
This human needs other humans give him some donations so he can retire sooner - two hundred years of working is a bit extreme in my opinion, even if he could live like five to six hundred. Or then he could just retire with the aliens - I mean those little things would probably be absolutely pleased to let him stay too.
The beauty that can exist in the human soul is beyond measure and true appreciation. Just a shame we've blinded ourselves to it and treat each other like cattle.
A couple of inconsistencies in the story (first the alien said, that he is the same size as the pilot, than later, the alien only reaches to his chest; and a few others), but still a very nice story - very heartwarming!
"I've sung this song, but I'll sing it again, Of the place that I lived on the wild windy plain, In a month called April, a county called Grey, Here's what all of the people there say, So long, it's been good to know yuh, So long, it's been good to know yuh, So long, it's been good to know yuh, The dusty ol' dust is gettin' my home, And I've got to be driftin' along." -Woody Guthrie
the part with the "he had new robes.... " ahh official speaks in deep and gavely voice, next line "the kid spoke in light and squeeky voice" KEKW get rekt :D
Look at that dear little face... those huge, limpid eyes!! Tell them to forget the terraformed fixer-upper; bring the whole gang to Earth and we'll open our homes and hearts to these precious darlings!!
you know... the post scarcity details aside , nice that the character touched on there needing to be a official first contact effort ..and in all old gods names.. 1960's elevator music! PURGE IT IN FIRE! i do like this story for an extra reason , the human has to take a moment to ensure flawless communication and he dont just 'fix planet' with blue space magic no... he gets a colony right to one else where as making a whole planet stable in x climate way and with y compatible atmospheric make up is hard enough when working with a stable celestial body & system. when it in geological and celestial terms sounds like their origin world be undergoing some very long term changes making it hard to tell exactly what caused them.
also though... be curious on what happened with their origin planet as it sounds like not only must there been long term cycle things building up ,but possibly outright celestial things like... did planets orbits change after million long years of moving in ways that brought them ever closer to a point where their pull affect each other and jumble about the systems line up ?
Our species sports three faces, the face of a demon, when we go to war. The face of a man, when we make trade and research. And the face of a god, when we bring relief to those in need.
its not just a drought for one and for another it sounds like their structures might not have been the most advanced things so wind erosion from the dust storms digging out the foundations is all to possible
If humanity becomes so advanced, I think we would have organisations dedicated to assisting alien civilisations in times of need. We'd be in a true post-scarcity civilisation, so resources and funds wouldn't be an issue.
I can see saving an entire sentient species being worth having to work a few hundred more years before I could retire. Worth it indeed.
Three distinct species.
yeah, I feel like first contact should be able to recoup the profits of 100 years of a single human. hell just a a small communications fee set up and it'll probably turn a profit in a few days.

I'm sick and miserable, nothing can help me feel better...
Sees release from Agro Squirrel
Only one thing can help me feel a little better
A candle to light a dark soul.
Get well soon!
thank you for narrating one of my silly scribblings :) i LOVED writing this one. its nice to have some wholesome stuff.
FOR THE ALGORITHM. FOR THE BEARD. FOR THE EMBODIED VOICE
Great work!
great story.
If its really yours? MAKE MORE!!!
Please "scribble" more, this was a beautiful story!
I really liked it. Thank you :)
I hope there is a part 2 of this where the people the guy saved help him or his descendents in the future.

This story is the most Human story I've ever heard.
Humanity, Noble through and through..
Humans, the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape.

There aren't many clues given. What few there are makes it sound like something akin to a gamma ray burst.
Sounds like their sun is dying to me...

Plot twist: Humanity engineered the disasters to play savior.
I loved this ending 😊 and I love the stories where humans just drop everything and help out random aliens❤
I was surprised at the ending.
I was expecting Julius to say, either
Yeah Boss, I cleared the planet, you can sell it/colonize it now, the previous owners/occupants, are in transit.
or
Yeah boss, I got us 27,000 new slaves, of 3 different races.
They will be worth a chunk of change.
But this ending is better.
Humanity wouldn't purchase 27,000 people for the cost of a war crime, The paper trail alone would cost more than any profit.
Good one! Sometimes it’s NOT the money. When you have that moment and the inner self speaks. If you listen you MAY learn something.
I like this one. Power used for good... exactly what I needed today.
May the Skald and his family have joy and prosperity
Verily, may it be so.
I absolutely did not have to wipe down my glasses after this story. Nope. 😊
The exceptional quality of the stories you read to us can't be understated. Thank you.
Now this reminds me of an old hymn which has a line which begins: "He has no hands but our hands..."
Great farmwitch story. Great squirrel narration. Great way to start the morning drive. Thank you so much.
Here is a like and comment for the story, for entertaining me, to help your channel grow, and get you the recognition you deserve.
Strong in father instincts he is.
Excellent story. Back in my youth, I always thought this was how Mars died.
Thanks Agro your narrations let me relax and be somewhere else in my mind giving much needed sleep.
Great story; Excellent narration! Now I'm off to find out how the Onion Ninjas got into my room....
Sneaky little bastards, ain't they?
What a heart of gold.
Great story. I teared up just a little. Awesome ending. ❤
That was amazing! Please write more. And thank you to our host, every story you share with us is better with your narration.
This has to be a new favourite for me ,love this story, got a tear in my eye ,would be worth continuing this story I reckon
Now that is the type of story I love to hear
Thank you oh great farming squirrel, it was a wonderful story.
You are easily my favorite story-reading smurf.

Or then he could just retire with the aliens - I mean those little things would probably be absolutely pleased to let him stay too.
the 100 years was him joking as he said before it would take him 20 years more to regain his loses
WOW!
That was FANTASTIC!
The beauty that can exist in the human soul is beyond measure and true appreciation.
Just a shame we've blinded ourselves to it and treat each other like cattle.
That was beautiful! I really hope we get a part 2 sometime to see the actual first contact event after the emergency rehousing had taken place.
That ones a gem in the rough. Human to the rescue
Amazing story, was captivated from beginning to end.
Well done. That was an excellent story.
Worth it... that says it all.
Finally I get to see the face behind the voice. You are a great narrrrattor. you put so much emotion into these tales. Thank you
Wonderful story!
A couple of inconsistencies in the story (first the alien said, that he is the same size as the pilot, than later, the alien only reaches to his chest; and a few others), but still a very nice story - very heartwarming!
Had me so misty eyed it gave me a headache 😊
This is my daily thank you for your magnificent work in finding and narrating such stories
Worth it indeed
This one is very heartwarming- thank you for that.
Yeah this is a hell of a story.
Omg brought me to tears lol
Worth it!❤
Sometimes, a prayer is answered by someone you least expect.
Good one
Oof!! Right in the feels. Now that, was a well written story.
"I've sung this song, but I'll sing it again,
Of the place that I lived on the wild windy plain,

So long, it's been good to know yuh,
So long, it's been good to know yuh,
The dusty ol' dust is gettin' my home,
And I've got to be driftin' along."

Awesome truly amazing
Thanks for the story, was very heartwarming
Thank you, well done!
A mere 2000000 for a whole perfectly habitable planet ? That's a steal... In favour of the buyer.
What a wholesome story. One of the nicest ever.
I've been in sandstorms like that. They will get into your brain, I kid you not.
Thanks to Al. G. Orithm for bringing this to us.
2 million credits for 27,000 lives. What a hero!
A deal at thrice the price
Yeah, that was a good story.
Thanks made me cry
Thank you for the dono
100% worth it.
Beautiful story.
For those who help, for the algorithm, and for the narrator!!
totally worth it.
One spacer with a heart
Hey, go away onion Ninja.
Who gave my adress to the onion cuting ninjas?!
Look at that dear little face... those huge, limpid eyes!! Tell them to forget the terraformed fixer-upper; bring the whole gang to Earth and we'll open our homes and hearts to these precious darlings!!
Greetings, Mentlegent!
For the Rhyhtm that is Algo
Well done, emergency services on a species wide scale!
BLESS THE SQUERRIL
BLESS THE AUTHOR
Defiantly worth it!

NICE!

man, now i gotta pay for a PI to figure out how those damn onion ninjas got in here

Curse those onion ninjas.

I can't afford my own house and this guy buys his own planet on short notice.
Now... if we could just make sure everyone on THIS planet has a home, safety and food.

did planets orbits change after million long years of moving in ways that brought them ever closer to a point where their pull affect each other and jumble about the systems line up ?
i love this one. onion warning
Something that would probably happen because of the practice of leaving the dead to the sands would be mummies.
story reminds me of frost-punk but inverted
He bought a PLANET for only 2 million credits?!
Open the gates we got a VIP here!!
The most dangerous beast of all rears it's head. Hold music.
Our species sports three faces, the face of a demon, when we go to war. The face of a man, when we make trade and research. And the face of a god, when we bring relief to those in need.
God damn onion ninjas struck again!
Tossing a comment to our Bard.
All Hail the voice!
I want that backdrop for my background, any chance of a link?
God dammit! Those damn onion ninjas are back…
The narrator sounds a bit like John Hurt. I wonder if he's from the same area of Britain, and has a similar regional accent.
nope. agro is South African
@@valtiel2589 Perhaps it could be said that he was doing a John Hurt impression, during his narratives. [And I like these stories]
the things that humans will do if we find anything that looks cute.
I help because I can.
Story 1: Wait wait wait, why would a Drought affect buildings so bad they collapse? What?
its not just a drought for one and for another it sounds like their structures might not have been the most advanced things so wind erosion from the dust storms digging out the foundations is all to possible
The wind and soil particles like a sandblasteron steriods
If humanity becomes so advanced, I think we would have organisations dedicated to assisting alien civilisations in times of need. We'd be in a true post-scarcity civilisation, so resources and funds wouldn't be an issue.
