Those dam stealth ships firing onion particle beams straight into my eyes.

[jamesbarker]

Been away and have binged on these brilliantly writen episodes. We humans can be selfish when we believe our needs surmount our loved ones but as the EXO Jim revealed, we can also be selfless, laying down our lives down, for others.

[thomasetavard]

Wow I never thought that cockroaches would be good for anything but that was a good teaching lesson for the expansion of humanity to expand it influence and insure its survival. I loved that idea.

[bradwolf]

Even in the Space Age, sometimes families fall apart despite our wishes. I feel for the Captain

[hariseldon]

LOL I listen to these while making dinner (I find cooking relaxing lol - with the headphones on I don't have to listen to the TV!) and this time the onions were a bit spicier...

Great story but I feel terrible for the captain.
1. He spends years defending his nation's territory so his wife and kids can be safe, even fighting off entire fleets trying to take territory, but she divorces him and takes his kids because his schedule isn't convenient.
2. She then plays with his emotions offering him a new relationship with her after she ended with him the first time, ironically after the divorce she was supportive of his career which shows she's just a pain and his career was never the problem, she just won't communicate.
3. He then has to watch nearly all of his crew die, including his best friend.
Great story but I hope a future chapter has the captain telling his former wife and in laws off for being so cold towards his own suffering, they had to deal with an him not being there for a few birthday parties, he had to watch his friends die on that exact same day and all he got was a divorce and more death. Truly sad.

I honestly expected them to run into the race that the insectoids had been fighting, right up until they said they'd been boarded by the insectoids.

[ZubZAQ]

I really like the length of the vid 😊👍

[lvluptoaverage]

Thank you for the video! Perfect for a long drive

[fnixfire]

Damn that was so freaking good! I love the length too! Awesome! Can't wait for more! Are we getting any updates from the Shadows speak anytime soon?

[raincoast]

Oh wow! Great chapter, i never saw that coming.

[jetsetwillymenosilly]

I like the longer videos of this story and it has been great following it

[daviderwin]

This one was more tragic than usual. Hope it doesn't halt humanity's attempts at expansion.

[survivorjohnny]

The divorce pert hit WAAAY to close to home but i enjoyed the video (except for that part)

[jorgesuarez]

Love this video, can we get one for the Shadows and Knight series?

[KaasSchaaf]

oh great, a new episode of the black ship and also “they ansered the call” jeuuuu

[banaman]

a little confused on one point though...one of the main points of the insectoids this entire time was that their null drives were not able to exit anywhere near as close to a planet as the republic ships, to the point of needing an entire day to travel closer before engaging... and yet here they flash in so close that they immediately start firing on the john cabot, and even do a lot of damage before it attempts to flash out... still to close themselves. was it because there was no sun, so the distances they could flash out was a lot closer? or did they all of a sudden have way, way better null drives?

[TowGunner]

Great chapter. The captain, wanting to secede from the Republic received a brutal wake-up call. His thinking was so damn naive. The whole galaxy is at war and he thought he can find a nice little planet and settle down. Perhaps talking his ex wife+kids into joining the Down With The Republic Expedition. RIP Jim!

[Boomer-ridu]

I just hope Captain Navarre doesn't kill Aurora in part 46....

[mattpurgare]

This is a little out of place but, did the writer finish up the Commonwealth narrative? Last I remember it was disintegrating, with the elder race dealing a heavy blow to one of the last major players in it. But not yet finished.

To sum up the story so far, (as best as I remember) its as follows:
Insects vs Commonwealth,
Insect vs Republic (humanity),
Commonwealth vs Republic,
Commonwealth civil war,
Insect civil war,
Trandoshan like aliens (yet to appear) vs everyone,
Republic and Rogue Insect Queen alliance.
Insect civil war coming to an end.

Obviously I really enjoy this story but am worried the writer might forget about some of their story arc's that are still open ended.
