The alien that went to Taco Bell when they arrived on Earth deserves a badge of honor for surviving. No matter how many times I eat Taco Bell I'm always praying to the porcelain God. Though I keep eating it, I guess I'm a glutton for punishment. 🤣
@killer13324 well, that's certainly part of it. She's the "trial run". First promotion of non-terrans, first yorpil into battle and leading the squad, posterchild of the firearms display, now a trainer handling not only female but male yorpil and the other races as well. (Also having fun with them it seems). What i was commenting about was her setting the standard and being completely unaware. She's constantly being challenged and overcoming said challenges effectively.
@@meistersgarage748 it's mostly due to, from her point of view, the sheer cultural difference between humans and yorpils and how the former treat her as one of their own while the latter require her to prostrate herself and be seen as lesser. if anything the yorpil elders simply solidified her view as to who her people really are. that's my take on it anyway.
I hope Frairen gets that promotion she deserves soon. (And a human citizenship is probably well earned a this point too. We all know she has earned it at this point)
I absolutely love this authors knowledge of the military and their customs and tradition. The first timeni heard them repeatedly and consistently use the term "mag" instead of clip i knew i could trust them to habdle the military aspects of this story right. Cheers, Guard, may you build this story into the conclusion it deserves
@@silverbird425 No modern fire arms uses clips anymore and every weapon uses magazines. the real advantage of clips is that you can carry more ammos with out the bulk of a magazine. Clips are very simple and only have to hold a few casings in place that slides into the ammunition well of a rifle.
as someone who went through training in Benning and Leonard Wood the ending graduation deep thought honestly made me remember and tear up a bit. you do change alot during those weeks of training and make unlikely friendships. some that last decades later
That short speech starting at 27:23 is some really remarkable writing. Truely remarkable. This is my go to channel on TH-cam because the writing here is so good. (As is all the support production values.) Great job all.
I really appreciate how accessible this series is. Each episode we get a proper description of everything we need to know. race names, their characteristics, and even some brief mentions of their history, at least on the need to know basis. they make it super easy to get into the series at any point, instead of diving all the way back from the very beginning.
I abselutly love this series. I can't help but wonder how Frairen and the other alien soldiers would react to a group of human children. In some kind of social relationship setting perhaps.
@@guardbrosfielddesk i thought it was something like that. Please include an episode where some one walks across the grass on a USMC type base. I love all these little 'turn of events' I was a contractor for DoD and other government agencies and love love love when you get these details right.
4:45 - cigarettes do smell foul. It's the crap quality tobacco they use. This compared to pipe tobacco or proper cigars ( i.e. NOT the kind you'd find in just about every gas station in North America). Cigarettes have an odor I would describe as "sharp". It's irritating when I'm at a cigar bar and some jackass lights up a cigarette. You can smell it almost immediately.
@@guardbrosfielddesk actually you still can, media is media. same thing said about weber when he was hanging out with zelazny. You need a media savvy person which I am not. Damn the older I get the more I write like Jim Baen. he rite n ltrs n other short hand.
I'd think it becomes more difficult to make a lot of money writing as time goes on. Consider how competitive the marketplace is now. Never mind becoming a screenwriting or writing for other things like games. I hear even just getting a publisher to publish your book can be a real struggle. Consider how Amazon/Audible has a monopoly and they take 60% of the profit from books, or 75% if a book is not exclusive to Audible. Now consider how AI like ChatGPT has rapidly become better in just a few short months or years. It's only a matter of time before such AI replaces certain writing jobs. And despite how some people despise AI, there are more and more AI generated stories in YT vids. Heck, a lot of supplement books for tabletop RPGs are written with the assistance of AI. This practice is common enough that Wizards of the Coast/D&D/Hasbro had to make a rule about it. Now consider how connected the world is today, with nearly everyone having internet, and more people reading - and writing - electronic books as PDF, etc or publishing free stories as webnovels.
Not really, at least not a tiny pinch. Salt is able to tone down bitterness while enhancing other natural tones like nuttiness or sweetness. But anything beyond a few dozen individual grains…
Excellent story, very well read. Id love to see what the coin looked like, the visuals were really good too, i rarely watch and just listen, glad i did.
From listening to several stories, miss rimiki is from a humanoid psychic dragonic race and is a highly respected person who has held a political/diplomacy type position in the past (uncertain if she actively holds that position), she is also a teacher
Now that the Training rotation is over and Remiras School is ending how about sending them all together to the new station Ms. rimiki + Remira as intergalactic diplomats (Remira as trainee under Ms. Rimiki, she was after all Ms. Rimikis favourite student) + Caden (+crew) as engineer to get the Station ready for the Big Mouth Bass and Frairen+Crew as security until the station is ready for the Bass. I want to know remiras reaction to the relationship between frairen and rayburn and that Ms. Rimiki is also together with a Human.
For some reason, there's seems to be an overlap between days with a new _Frairen and Rimiki_ story and days I'm in a good mood. Keep the stories coming, so I can investigate the connection further! Seeing Frairen get back into real action, soon, would be nice. More pressing, though, is to get some light on what sort of cloak and dagger conspiracy Miss Rimiki is up to!
I really wanna know if this girl has done work narrating audio books. i swear she sounds just like the person who narrated some of the Tamora pierce books. sounds just like the protector of the small series.

One would think that, this being the far future with FTL starships and such, they would genetically modify beans to be more easily digestible and far, far less gassy. I mean, even within this particular story series, we've heard how humans had a program to train and genetically modify dogs to be smarter and better guardians. (Listen to "Aliens Ridiculed Our Pets".) And within the same story it mentioned genetically engineering pet rodents like mice to be smart enough to send text messages.
I'm hoping that a future story will have a large battle and Frairen and her war hounds actually let out a war howl before charging striking fear in every one except humans
I remember once standing in a formation of around a thousand and all of us in unison shouting a warcry. You could literally see the soundwave as it shook the leaves of the trees.
what is Ms. Rimiki's ulterior motivation for transforming Frairen ? She has to have a reason that is beyond anything comprehensible for wanting Frairen to become a soldier with a status modelled after the ancient roman Centurio or more accurately the Primus Pilus ( First Spear), the position and Titel held by the First Centurio of the First Cohort within the Legion.
From what happened at the end of the previous story, the galactic council appears to be run by the Yorpil but they also appear to be a bit heartless with their help and support of other races. A cabal of conspirators appear to be working with the humans to dislodge them from their leading positions in the government. (Or at least that is what I think is happening.)

And Australia, Florida, and Louisiana are set to LASO
Two more Frairen fans enjoying her stories, made even better by Larissa's narration.
I listen to a lot of sci-fi stories, they get me though rough work days. But this series, this is the only one I actively look for and wait for.
me too. I watch it with Silverbird and she is "I am declaring a pizza night!"
That thumbnail though... Start out with puppy dog eyes, end up as The Incredible Hulk
I'm guessing they're called warhounds because Devil Dogs was already taken?
Already taken by the us marines in ww1
I like em warhounds..uh-huh.
still trying figure out why they call her werewolf when the thumbnail's are of a fox lady lol
