The last sentence destroys the entire story... The aliens must survive to pass on this message because the dead cannot learn!

Not even all cultures on Earth adopt the Principle "Don't kill the Messenger". One of the reasons I am loyal to my Western civilisation. It allows me to exercise a reasonable approach to problem solving. So it's a pity the attempt to establish a "Brotherhood of man" has been systematically demolished by mostly eastern civilisations.

If they're going to be dead in 10 minutes and their communications are down what was the point of the elaborate way of giving the "message". They can't share the message. They don't have time to utilize anything he tells them. The net result is they're dead and none of their people are going to know why. No actual "message" is being sent other than the human making them squirm for the next 10 minutes.

What, the villian doesn't get to monologue? I think he's telling them so that they know why they're going to die, maybe give them a chance to apologize. Or just to assuage his own conscience.

Perhaps he was the "carrier" of whatever was to kill the aliens. He just needed to give it time to circulate through the ship. And for the recorders to store the Four Rules, for the ones that came after them. Presumably the conversation would be transmitted to their home before they died, so that no more of their kind would be killed by the "deadly humans".

Oddly, thats what it would take for the current human race to put aside its petty terrestrial arguments, and try to defend itself from any "aliens". The Legacy of the Aldenata series is an example of this... start with "Gust Front"

Yes, indeed, I did love that story.

This is a whole book series compressed into an 11 minute audio play.

Looks like a beginning of a nice sci-fi story series. Please keep going.

The most sufficiently advanced technology of all: Plot Armor.

In listening to the story, I can only imagine how the Alien Species interrogating the Human Prisoner feels after they find out that they have ten (10) minutes to live at the end of the conversation.

Good story. Keep em comin' !

Great, but shame about the doorbell ending. (That's when you are really pleased with the way a story is going, then the bloody doorbell goes, and you have to scribble down a quick finish before opening the door).

This was a good one. Ended a little abruptly. The narrative was a bit... clunky. 88 homeboy.

I've been reading SCIFI since the 50's and stopped in the 80s when stories were microphone for things I read in newspaper and saw on TV all day. This would have fit in back in old days.

Nice, I can’t say I didn’t see it coming.

This is a disheartening and heartbreaking story. But it certainly gets me thinking about how our world has developed during our time & during our recorded history. 😮 I checked out your Amazon link. Is this a good way to avoid the negative onslaught of social media? It’s interesting how you have brought your storytelling ability along. It’s very good that you are sharing your stories with the community now. I didn’t discover until fairly late in life that I can make music. I come up with several new songs a day. I don’t know where they come from, but it’s very fulfilling to go around singing my own songs all day long. I guess creativity continues for a lifetime & we can get some real surprises.

Just started getting interesting 😊

The messenger killing the message receiver... that's a new twist. I guess they will try again with another ship in Ch. 2.

i really enjoyed your story. Your approach is quite clever. Love to hear more.

good story idea but stupid ending. who's stupid enough to give a message to someone who will die in 10 minutes, with no communications & can't even pass on the message?

@IamJustJ.

It's not stupid, you missed the key detail at the beginning of the story: Xtlda was recording the interrogation and spoke into the recorder. The human only needed to bring in a foreign microorganism (or possibly even radiation) known to kill the aliens in question which would leave the recording of the situation intact. Critical thinking is required to discern the scenario and its implications.
