"The Human Security Officer (part 8)" centers on Penelope, a human soldier aboard the spaceship Blue Nebula, who grapples with her traumatic past and insomnia. Seeking distraction, she engages in a deep conversation with Ton'et, an alien scientist from the Ossian species, whose curiosity about humans sparks a dialogue on biological differences, sleep patterns, and strength. Their exchange highlights the diversity of the crew's species and the complexities of interstellar life. A cultural exchange over coffee further cements their bond, providing Penelope with a momentary escape from her troubles. Through Penelope's interactions, the narrative explores themes of friendship, identity, and the search for understanding across different species.

Have to remember to go back and like all these, so busy clicking to next story. Love these. The variety of voices really helps the story as well in my humble opinion.

[illesizs]

Darn dream opener...
I had to check to make sure I didn't skip an episode.

[stephengonzalez]

Coffee in deep space sounds awesome! 😁👍

[danieldunlap]

This might be my favorite series on the entirety of all the stories of short sci-fi stories on YouTube

[clivestainlesssteelwomble]

Coffee in lab beakers ... how every lab enitiate gets to find their way into the science and technology higher educational system 😂🧙‍♂️😎🇬🇧

[Hojumuju]

Tonnet is quickly brcoming one of my favorite aliens I've encountered in sci-fi stories.

[Mikisoq]

Maybe Doc Oc would enjoy tea instead of coffee.

[vechcron]

I still believe there will be Terran pirates appearing soon and I think Penelope won't be welcome on Raxia so the Blue Nebula will be returning the weapons crates to Terra and the adventure will continue

[ShepherdOfFools]

I cant wait to find our what hapoens next!

[hirobian]

While I have been appreciating the story I have found it a tad jarring how the last few parts have felt like I missed a part in between each of them. Like a significant chunk of story had been unexpectedly skipped in ellipsis to move us ahead.

[Calcifina]

I very much enjoyed and appreciated this section of the story, especially as a trans listener, brings a whole new meaning to gender envy😅.

[TheDurid]

First thank you for not turning the video into a long lecture about transsexual propaganda . Second main character has won the most Bland and apathetic voices I've heard in a long time:-)

[lubomirkompis]

Genetic variability might be a problem, after all, we know what happens sometimes when the offspring of Genghis Khan have children. But really, I've heard it said that 24 pairs are enough for a healthy population. Switching to polygamy, the male population could grow quite easily.

The real problem for such a human population would be the lack of.. hah, manpower.

[zanizone]

Gotta love the casual misandry. Very "enlightened" :/

[NovaRuner]

Whoa whoa! Wait…. His race has 7 different biological sexes?! Wow… and they tend to metamorph between them? 🤯🤯❗️

[anwaraisling]

The whole vulnerability of our species comment made me laugh. We've already had that happen. Thanks to genetic testing, we've already determined that all surviving males on the planet share a single common ancestor. Women, on the other hand, have more variability, and their maternal DNA is actually older than the DNA marker for the common male ancestor.

[WalaVeioMala]

When she says "I would be fine" grinning at the thought of male genocide I instantly stopped, downvote, downvoting the entire story, not your fault as narrator, I was already irritated with the 'power girl / Mary Sue all powerful' persona, that made it transparent what the goal of the story is.

[raincoast]

Lots of senseless AI [?] talk that didn't seem central to any kind of story.
