Seems Princess Clara has the same forthright attitude of Wyatt but keeps it hidden from others on purpose so as not to be predictable. She isn't just self aware but aware how others see her and uses that for the advantage of the greater good. Wyatt's character as developed is further cemmented. It's going to get even more interesting as we move along in the story. Loving it.

I sure wish these were 1 hour chapters, lol 20 to 30 min is like giving a starving person just a tidbit on the tongue.

Why is this story so addicting? It's so exciting when a new chapter drops

Clara being benevolent to the pirates and totally remorseless toward the Houses of Infamy. Wise beyond her years. A future Queen beyond compare.

This is the first time Wyatt is not actively present in the story.

Interesting the chapter starts with a Leopold Dakar POV. Nice touch EkhidnaWritez with giving us a view of the commoner sleeping quarters on the Noirnavio and how it's way better than most Principality Navy Ships for commoners 😊. I totally sympathize with Leopold for being rudely awaken by his roommates being angry the the pirates ☠️ are being kept alive. It's hilarious hearing how Leopold's roommates believe the sensor ghosts 👻/rumors that nobles largely suspect about Wyatt 😂🤣😆! No surprise that Leopold end up laughing his ass off how his roommates and his squadron mates similarly crazy. 😊 Thank you EkhidnaWritez for using hogwash in this story its a old nice phrase that has basically died out in the US except in the older generations. I do find it funny how 1 of Leopold's female roommates thinks Wyatt might have some romantic relations with Clara but Leopold never got a sense that Wyatt is in romantic relationship or at least having physical relations with her. I do love how Leopold is fearsly supporting his commander. No surprise that Leopold thinks the thing that makes Wyatt special is the type of character he is. Leopold has become 1 of the 1st followers of Wyatt and Wyatt does not know this yet. I would not be surprised if Leo survives this House War, he will end up joining Wyatt's new house. I do like we get to see how Clara thinks how Wyatt reacts to her reputation and accepts her faults and all. I do like how this chapter shows Clara's thoughts of how she could have potentially handled the Plague incident better, like sparing the young children and the babies. Interesting we finally get some solid info on how Royal Marines are created. We were given hints about it back when Cynthia telling Wyatt about how the highest levels of enhancements of people in the Principality of Astor have to be done either in the womb or before 1 or 2 years old. Its interesting seeing how valuable 2 potential royal marines are considering how much Clara offering the 3 pirate adults and how Milkades agrees in that Clara's deal is reasonable 1. A very interesting twist in having Clara offering that the teenagers and children of the pirates being given a chance to be part of Clara's crew. It will be interesting see how many young pirate teens and children take the deal and how the friction between them and the commoner auxiliary is going to be?

My thinking that Wyatt being in Clara's retinue would create an instant aura of danger seems to have been right on. Even his squadron has suspicions other than Leopald. Seems Nobs can't accept anything at face value. And the commoners can't believe that royals/Blue bloods would actually treat a commoner with respect. Also interesting the little window we got into the royal marine selection process. Not quite as intense as a 40K space marine, considering failed candidates don't die outright but often become agents. I suspect Malkadies would have taken more than two if more turned out to be genetically comparable.

I like how you're bringing forth the personalities of each Composter Pilot. 👍👍

Great episode! I love how the author is adding background information and color to this series! It really makes the entire story so much better!

Today I got a cat and Black ship dropped. Best day of my life! (mostly excited about the cat though)

I seriously cant get enough of this book every chapter leaves me wanting more not only should this be novelized but it should also get a movie to go along with it 👏

Another great story. Leopold just figured out why Wyatt got his position, and it was interesting he saw why because of his compatriots. Even if they had the opportunity, they could never have run with it the way Wyatt did because of their character. While I can understand the existence of piracy, even in our own time, they have never been nice people. Some, like Lafitte, were less brutal and more intelligent, but their responses to many things were, shall we politely say, basic.

Black Ship is top shelf!

What made Wyatt so special? Initially, blind friggin' luck and past that was pure skill and the right attitude

thank you for the last chapter as you are fleshing out your characters. l have also realised they we have to pay very close attention to what has already been mentioned in earlier chapters. I don't know if any of our speculations are going into this story. but knowing that the author and others connected participate here, I this is one of the many reasons why I enjoy this great story

Shower scene reminds me the one in Starship Troopers the one where the director also got naked so actors and actresses would not feel awkward.....Also heard it was only going to be a couple of actors and actresses in it but suddenly everyone joined in...

So now we discover at least how some of the mysterious Royal Marines are recruited

The way the writer has crafted this arc of the story of Clara is most impressive. From rebellious and childish only to see a mirror on awful nobles that woke her to a cruel truth. Matured beyond her years by the foulness of those around her, carrying the burden of her rash and harsh decisions to wipe entire houses, and now presented with an opportunity to even the scales. Her self awareness is palpable, very human, very real. An amazing character, even more than Wyatt. As for the theme of pride. Pride comes before the fall as they say. A good friend of mine pointed out to me that pride is the thing that injures us the most. Pride holds us from being happy, from seeing reason. Because of pride we bring suffering to others, to friends and family and to the world at large. When we overcome our pride we can be better, rise above and see the future improve. Of course its not easy, but its possible and its worth it. This is a most exquisite tale, crafted with gusto, skill and passion. It is visceral and gripping, it makes you reflect on things that few dare to do so. Its been a while since I have come across such a good story. Bravo.

I really enjoy this story but I get frustrated because I finish the drops so quickly My appetite is too big. Want more more MORE! 😀

Amazing epsiode! Clara has some what redeemed her self, from the cruelty of the previous episode. Many thanks to the author, however you are, you're a very talented writer ❤

I’ve listened to every part and if the author ever publishes this as a book, I’m buying day 1

Another great chapter. Adding more background information makes the characters seem more real.

thanks for the story it's interesting to see what happens in the future for our intrepid crew

A very well written story!

damn we gamblin BABIES NOW HUH? I love this story!

I love hearing what the other commoners think of Wyatt. I wonder what Clara's plans for the babies are. The Intrigue continues.

Yes I need it thank you God is been a long day

The rumors made it to the blacksmith how interesting I can't wait till the next chapter

Princess Clara Astor is a VERY wise Woman these days .

Thanks again for the new chapter. This is truly an awesome story line.

This was a helluva intriguing chapter, more please!.

Attempting to redeem pirates, is going to bring turmoil to the crew. The crew hates the pirates completely, even if they are young. Wyatt may even do a double take on that kind of mercy.

Really engrossed in this novel can't wait for Wyatts next move

This is so complex. I am loving it.

Terran Contact, The New Species, The New Threat and Hopefully soon the New Era damm good books. I've gpne through them more than twice already.

Stay Tuned for next weeks exciting episode of "THE Black Ship" ! Same SciFi Stories Channel......... Same Tim........ er... Serial Stories....... Love 'Em AND Hate 'Em

Thanks for posting my favorite story on my birthday!!!

Sorry but this is my absolute fav.❤❤❤ series/story

Need this after the day i had

Perfect, was waiting this chapter to start doing my work :D

I think this was the first chapter without Wyatt appearing.

Thanks!

Babies? Babies? Mysterious and intriguing. Almost confounding. Way to point forward!

well thats makes sence now, nothing like a little clock anb daggers...😎😎😎

Thank you 😊 for another great chapter

Nice! a new chapter!

Such a wonderful series

Episodes of this story cannot come quickly enough. Not to quickly, though, I'd hate to see the quality of the story drop. It's the best story on utube right now.

Yes !

I’m wondering if Chapter 40- is going to start off with Wyatt & Redford together, Wyatt getting his lessons in Command or potentially Piloting/Commanding the Nioranovio again, Since “Wyatt was attending to his other duties..”

I love this story keep it going yea Clair 😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉

More more more please

❤❤❤❤ so glad it's back

I wonder when Wyatt will save the princess from herself (as ordered by the prince). will wyatt and Cynthia put down a pirate break out. stay tuned for next exciting instalment 😅

Ah Clara is great. Let’s see what the babes are for. Curious.

Finally

have a feeling those babies are for royal marines and idk how wyatt is going to feel about it

How soon can the rest of "The Black Ship" drop? Listening to this story from the "The Black Ship" Book 1 - chapter one through "The Black Ship" Book 2 - chapter 40. I am salivating for the conclusion of this wonderful story.

If i had anything to say i would have my best scientists and engineers by now on the black ship so they get all its secrets and then create the best possible design for the own shipyards.

Are the two babies royal marine candidates now or are they going to be something else?

I still want to know what is so significant about Wyatt naming the ship. What is the tradition for naming captured ships in this universe?

I want to binge on these

Ah, I wonder if the enemies of House Aster would start spreading some court intrigue... A rumor that Wyatt is Clara's lover. It doesn't need to be true to became damaging...

Thank you!

Ok, now I'm really curious about the 2 babies and what makes them so special and good candidates for what?

Yes I listened to all of them.

It's getting wild & crazy ... Can't wait like everyone to see what's going to be happening next. LONG LIVE THE BLACK SHIP ! 🛸🚀🛰🪐🌞🌛🌒🌕🌘☀

Looks like another channel is reading this story. The channel is Real Nightmare. It's not a re-upload but no mention of author permission.

My mind is going in so many different directions. If Wyatt turns out to be an orphan pirate child or under cover sleeper agent. I wonder about the long glances between the Princess and Cynthia in a previous chapter.

Yahoooo ❤❤❤

Loving it!

👊👍

sorry, i am team Cynthia.

Leopold is PRONOUNCED Loo Pold.

What is happening with the Prince?

What AI text audio reader do you use? I love the inflections of the voices and I'm working on making my own Novel that I would really love to use whatever tool you use to go from text-to-speech.

Wonder what kind of antics she has in mind for babies, of all people

While most of the stories here are from the HFY genre, this seems to be more about PFY. Protagonist f yeah. Basically instead of all humans it’s just one superpowers master chief like self insert.

Theirs another story out their called the black ship posted 6 days ago.....not sure if you know about this.

Will there be. A book 2 of Adopted by Humans? I really liked the first book!

🗿

❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂

Do give Clara credit where credit is due, so even she has not fully grasp the concept yet. All the children were programmed and programming can be reversed only the adults are circumspect and may need to take a short space Walk with no Eva suit. Those children in fact would become a very loyal and furious set a troops under her command the babies even more so. Also the older children need to be taken to the training Chambers to test their skills as pilots. I would then have Wyatt and the composters split the children amongst them the show traits of being good pilots and have them start training them especially considering that the Nora navio has fighters but fewer pilots, this would help both sides because my teaching the pilots would actually increase their own skills.😂❤

First (joke)

Hey, what took you so long???

Starting loving this series for the crazy space battles. Starting to lose me. Don’t use Disney Star Wars as a template please.

Thanks!
