The evacuation of Dunkirk... civilian ships answered the call.

"We can't fight our way through to help, we're outgunned!" (watches more people slaughtered.) "To HELL with fighting through! There's over 3000 of us and only a couple hundred of them! THEY CAN'T SHOOT US ALL!"

Sometimes I wonder if while Agro is recording his uplifting portions and speech ,if he is raising his arm up with his palm skyward.

The Miracle Of Dunkirk IN SPAAAAACE!

And after the enemy is defeated and crushed, if those big ships are not then turned against the cowardly backstabbers in the Federation it would be very disappointing.

Story deserves part 2 or 5. 😊

Woe to those who wait on others to be freed. That is not freedom.

This reminds me of my time in EVE Online. Some of you are familiar with the story. A mysterious band of human-descent people, the Triglavians, had laid siege to the system of Raravoss. Before this, and even during it, I paid the events little mind. I even held some hope that their efforts would help break the deadlock between the Four Empires, also human. Naivete at its finest. I was plying the spacelanes nearby in a tiny mining frigate when I picked up a distress call. Some other pilots were frantically transmitting on public channels, calling for help to evacuate civilians from the system. Their pleas touched my heart, but I knew I'd be caught and destroyed easily in my frigate. I had just enough to buy a tiny shuttle, fast enough and small enough to *probably* get by the blockade. I took that shuttle and, pushing myself to the limit, quickly dove through the jumpgate before warping to a designated drop zone. As some of the refugees boarded, I took the time to glance around. The system's star caught my eye. Once a bright light, the Triglavians had struck it dim and purple. No wonder the civilians were fleeing, the lifeblood of the system now seemed more like a tombstone, the star's faded light spelling the end of every viable planet's ecosystem. As I escaped the system, then returned at least 3 more times, I knew this evil weapon, and those who wielded it so callously, would need to be stopped. Raravoss was the first to fall. The first of many. But as the conflict grew, so too did I. I kept my mining roots, eventually taking the helm of one of the great Orca mining ships to bring new ships to every new theater. I also grew wise to the ways of war, flying a great shining silver battleship with thunderous artillery cannons and even commanding entire fleets of volunteers fighting tooth and nail to preserve what systems we could. Now, I sit back, waiting for the day another conflict calls to me. Perhaps the enemy will rise again, and I will be waiting. -Bravo Atruin, EDENCOM volunteer

Having "self-less" read as "self-ish" kind of scrambles the intended meaning of the story, but I get it.

"We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender. And even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old." -- Sir Winston Chirchill reaffirming the stance of the British Empire to resist Nazi Germany after the battle of Dunkirk

I can just imagine just furious the military would be in this situation that they HAVE to stay in the back not able to do anything as a shit ton of civilians dive in ohhh you know they were burning with rage and dump trucking money into RND ahaha

You’ve really raised my spirits with your stories. ❤

Let's get our allies a shelter first. Let loose the dogs of war

Bro even PIRATE ships came to help. Screw stealing cargo on its way to its destination and selling it to turn a profit. Go help the guys who sent out a desperate cry for help.

I go now to Khorne's brass throne without fear, For I know my skull is the most worthy of all!

Good story, really helps on a long work day.

That one was good. Well done! Narrator had a couple of mistakes but we forgive him.

For the Algorithm, for the Author(s), for the Disembodied Voice!

and never forget false friends

This one needs more to it it was good

Beautiful tale, well delivered.

Humanity does not forget its friends..., nor its enemies!

Manly tears

Our friends Are Family. And we don’t Abandon Family

This kinda reminded me of the evacuation of Manhattan Island on 9/11

Oh hey! I actually read this a week ago on Reddit. Also,shouldn't it be phrased as "ALMOST a century ago" in redards to Dunkirk? 2023-100 is 1923,which would be after WW1.

For the algorithm and the narrator.

For the Algorithm the story and the voice

Fantastic!!

For Oz, For the fallen, For the Algorithm.

Nice story :)

Greetings, Mentlegent! For the Rhyhtm that is Algo To the Rescue!

Hey agro are you an alien uplift us already ad do way with our corruption

Ah... Echoes of Dunkirk. The successful defeat. Remember always the brave who went to save as many as they could... and not only saved the British Army, but most of the Northern French Army and other allies as well. All civilians. All in "little boats".

For the Algorithm11!

GR8!

neat
