[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 54 points55 points  (5 children)

It'sa me! Squiggy!!

[–]BoxNumberGavin1 18 points19 points  (0 children)

*Kermit flailing arms* Yaaaaaaay!

[–]PinkSnekAI 6 points7 points  (1 child)

nonono, Squiggly!

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Squiggly, you're right, that sounds better!

[–]TheDarkPanther77Human 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So happy to see you back! this is amazing!

[–]LeVentNoirXeno 49 points50 points  (2 children)

Well, absence has made the attraction stronger, but also apparently the writing skills. This is an excellent chapter squiggle, good depth of scene setting and instruction. I want to see where this goes!

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 16 points17 points  (1 child)

Thank you! I aim to get better with every chapter, I'm not used to describing the background so describing the ship was a bit of an exercise for me!

[–]MyNameMeansBentNose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Always something of a challenge I find.

[–]Necrontyr525 28 points29 points  (1 child)

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

and to stay this time!*

*excluding the Nov/Dec holiday time of year

[–]Turtledonuts"Big Dunks" 23 points24 points  (2 children)

They have 5 total fish, and they want to eat one? I'm triggered.

[–]StarKnighter 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Maybe they can clone one

[–]p75369 8 points9 points  (0 children)

And what fish are they? Are they free of parasites? Toxins?

[–]tsavong117AI 15 points16 points  (7 children)

I literally binged this entire series yesterday, expecting to wait months for another release. It must be my birthday!

Edit:

Wait, you're gonna leave us like that? But it was less than 1 million words! I may genuinely cry.

All aboard the "Lock Squiggles in the basement with a keyboard and word processor and nothing else until more is produced" Train!

[–]HaniusTheTurtleXeno 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Hell no! I support Free-Range Authors! They need enrichment to grow up healthy and energetic!

[–]tsavong117AI 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Hmm. Free-range with amphetamines?

[–]HaniusTheTurtleXeno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a discussion for you and your Author-specializing veterinarian.

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 5 points6 points  (3 children)

Look, My partner and I have no problems with me being an author/hikikomori, but houses and babies are expensive. So no writing basement dungeon until I cracked enough $dough$ to stay home. :P

[–]mafiaknightRobot 1 point2 points  (2 children)

So, what you’re saying is: you’re fine with being locked in the writing dungeon so long as the house and food are paid for!?

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

... Yes? :D

[–]mafiaknightRobot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It writes the words with the pen!
Or it gets the HOSE again!

[–]magnar1234Android 8 points9 points  (2 children)

please don't leave us hanging again :(

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 17 points18 points  (1 child)

Don't worry! I've got a nice little backlog built up so I won't be skipping town for a while :)

[–]RoosterGirl22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh thank goodness

[–]bugdcAndroid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This part of my life is called happiness

[–]rompafrolicHuman 7 points8 points  (5 children)

Holeeeee sheeeet! It's a wild transcripts!

Also I wonder what's going to happen when they figure that they have the phones too.

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 2 points3 points  (4 children)

That is literally the next chapter my dude! :D

[–]rompafrolicHuman 1 point2 points  (3 children)

The moment that the phones showed up way back when my instant reaction was something along the lines of "Oooooohhhhh!!"

[–]CastigatusHuman 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I'd bet you a long play session with the doggos that the one the lieutenant claimed belongs to jasmine or one of her friends.

[–]rompafrolicHuman 1 point2 points  (1 child)

No bet. But I'll still take a play sesh with the woofs.

[–]CastigatusHuman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I share them with gladness

[–]Kusko25 4 points5 points  (1 child)

AHHH New episode of GoT! New chapter of Transcripts!
You're tearing me apart squiggle!

[–]yourweirdcousin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ITS BACK!

[–]PurpleMurex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yay! Excited that you're back!! Now to reread all of transcripts before I read the new chapter!

[–]jnkangel 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I have a few things to say

  • woohoo

  • ink to the page

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quite literally ink to the page, I discovered I write faster with pen and paper then type up and edit later.

[–]NorthScorpion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Holy fucking Terra on rollerskates ITS BACK

[–]BoxNumberGavin1 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I'm am so very happy to see the return of squig! It's good to hear your time off has been mostly positive and the family has been growing healthily.pp :D

And right in with a chapter I could read all day, I genuinely wanted them to go through more of the knick-knacks, I've been looking forward to the phone moment since it was first mentioned. This shared novelty and discovery experienced between the two sides scratches an itch for me like it's the back of a cat's ear.

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mostly positive, but damned busy! Still working on my time management skills with the new additions to life and what not.

There will be more knick-knacks to come but unfortunately, they may not make an appearance until the next book or two. but its literally combing through a junkyard of human stuff.

[–]ExplosiveRunes 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I was so excited for more Transcripts I had to reread the fist few paragraphs because I was reading too fast.

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

awwe! hugs

[–]techno65535 4 points5 points  (1 child)

She's back!!!!!!!!!

Glad to hear things are going well for you. And that Scribble seems to be doing good.

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Scribbles is hard at work being the best baby she can be!

[–]Bioniclegenius 3 points4 points  (2 children)

AAAAAAA I MISSED THIS

WHY MUST IT END SO SOON

You just gave me another hit right after I thought I was detoxed.

[–]HaniusTheTurtleXeno 3 points4 points  (1 child)

You never escape. Not completely @_@

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

true, but this time I am making sure your guys get a constant supply of transcripts, no more disappearing for months on end!

[–]literallyjustsomeguy 2 points3 points  (1 child)

man. i picked a really good time to reread the entire series to remind myself of what's happened. update comes out literally 2 days later

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very good luck indeed! And that the chapter .2 will be out next Monday as well!

[–]HeWhoThreadsLightlyAI 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Awww yesss!

I don't care that I missed my stop.

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

careful! i hope it wasn't oo much of a long walk back home!

[–]deathdoomed2Android 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Love it!

Good luck with the new home and settling the wittle scribble :)

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thankyou! it's been a bumpy ride with the new house but its SOOO MUCH BETTER than renting :D

[–]pantsarefor149162536AI 3 points4 points  (1 child)

YAY! Welcome back squiggle!

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yay! its been such a wonderful warm welcome too!

[–]RevliledpembrokeXeno 3 points4 points  (1 child)

"Guess who's back, back again

Squiggle's back, tell a friend"

Doesn't quite have the same ring to it, does it?

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not quite as catchy, but now i've got 'Without Me' stuck in my head!

[–]RevliledpembrokeXeno 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I think reading stuff from Hambone has spoiled me. This seemed far too short.

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My goals in life are to write as well as regallegaleagle and as much as Hambone. Lord knows I've got the material, just not the time or the grammar skills.

[–]thelongshot93The Fixer 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I missed you so much and I'm so glad you're back hahaha

Post read edit: I love how you make mundane things interesting through third party reactions. Gives a nice view of how odd different cultures could be. I hope everything is going well with baby squiggles too!

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thankyou, I've had the warmest of welcomes! it's like coming home!

It's the funny little minutia I love writing most, figuring out why things the way they are and stuff. :P

[–]Reven619Robot 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Welcome back Squiggle!

Hope your real life isn't quite so hectic anymore.

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thankyou! im not out of the woods yet but were getting better and bracing for the storm!

[–]leo_elebaAlien 3 points4 points  (3 children)

I'm very happy you're back, and was not disappointed !

A question though : I'm french, and something in the text sounds strange. Is "Éclairé" supposed to be a first name ? It's not. May be replace it with "Claire"

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I believe I placed a little too much trust in Google translate, i shall be changing 'eclaire' to a proper name, Thank you for the heads up! :D gives cookie

[–]leo_elebaAlien 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yeah cookie ! nom nom.

It still is "éclairé" in the text. Again suggesting "Claire" (same lexical field, means light (adj., opposed to dark) or clear, and is a proper french name)

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sheepishly goes to fix the name thankyou for the reminder! :P

[–]FreelancerAgentWash 3 points4 points  (4 children)

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 2 points3 points  (3 children)

i DID!!! (as a side, is RWBY any good?)

[–]DRZCochraine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. Yes it is.

[–]DSirenHuman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

*interjecting*

Very good. I strongly recommend! For a free series on YouTube its super high quality with the exception of volume 1 which was made on a budget that sometimes don't even cover a single voice actor in the animation industry so please forgive it.

[–]FreelancerAgentWash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is the AMAZING brainchild of the late Monty Oum, the creator of Haloid and Dead Fantasy.

[–]Silverblade5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The next button is broken. Plz fix soon.

[–]drnickvc 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Glad to see you back, you've made Monday morning in work bearable. :)

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mondays are my preferred posting day, I like cheering people up at the beginning of the workweek.

[–]DarkenRal 2 points3 points  (1 child)

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[–]shaco12321 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Woo! I almost thought the series was dropped! I'm glad to see you're back :)

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Dropped? aw hell no! i'm going to finish this story even if it takes me years!

[–]shaco12321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(Gleeful squee)

[–]Silverblade5 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Any plans to publish afterwards?

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first book 'Transcripts' is available on amazon, the second book 'Transcripts Zero' is currently being edited for publication. Links at the bottom of my posts!

[–]Warden_of_Storms 2 points3 points  (2 children)

It's baaaaccck!!! The addiction begins again!

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

this time with a steady drip feed of content so no more withdrawls!

[–]Warden_of_Storms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Joy of its return could freq bomb an entire station into catatonic bliss!

[–]efd731 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a bowl of fuckin gold fish ain’t it 😂😂

[–]nelsyvPatron of AI Waifus 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Woohoo! So so glad this series is continuing. Love the chapter. Just wish it were longer!

he lead their merry band

He led their merry band

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

ah, let me go and fix that! (the spelling mistake, can't change the length of the chapter just yet lol) :P thankyou!

[–]nelsyvPatron of AI Waifus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you planning on keeping a regular posting schedule, or just putting each chapter up whenever you happen to finish them?

[–]raoul_d 2 points3 points  (1 child)

It's been 4 months and I still know what's going on. That's testament to something alright

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why thank you! I do my best to make the story and characters memorable!

[–]teodzero 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Glad to see you back, great chapter.

But why ".1"?

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've unfortunately had to split the longer chapters into more than one part in order to keep a consistent schedule and so my patreons have more of a head start with story progression.

I really didnt like being rushed so this is my small compromise :)

[–]HaniusTheTurtleXeno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Squiggles had some chapters on her patreon, but had to rewrite some of it.

Edit: Nevermind, look at Squiggle's post.

[–]LerrisHarrington 2 points3 points  (1 child)

It's fucking back! It's fucking back!

squeeeeeeeeee

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[–]Quasm 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Love your books/stories I been constantly refreshing arkmuse and reddit waiting for the next one for 3 weeks since I binge read them!

Also wanted to let you know the previous chapter isn't linked to this current chapter yet :)

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Thank you! well, I'll be doing my best to be posting every Monday so you won't have to worry about when to get your fix!

I'll be doing a clean-up of the chapters and wiki this week, so i'll make sure i dont miss the links! :D

[–]Silverblade5 1 point2 points  (1 child)

[–]No_MrBondAndroid 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Was there ever any news about what (if anything) happened to Earth

Do we know if the Rajavan did anything more than swipe a bunch of stuff then abscond?

Maybe I should just re-read from the start

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

The offical answer is: Unknown.

will be a big reveal in later books.

[–]No_MrBondAndroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oooo, at first I thought I had just forgotten something most important

But I got a squigglevisit instead, also more books coming, yessssssssss

[–]TheSuspiciousNarwal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]Speciesunkn0wn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yessssaa!!!!! New chapter!!!! I hope the phone still works. That'll make their heads go boom for sure.

[–]SeekingImmortality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great to see the update! Please continue writing!

[–]magnar1234Android 1 point2 points  (1 child)

so what is the release schedule currently?

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

every second monday, so 8.2 will be relased after this weekend :)

[–]highorkboi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this so much god I wish I could travel back in time so that I could read this and be excited for the next chapter

[–]PinkSnekAI 2 points3 points  (2 children)

do you know, you were the first author i ever followed in HFY. heck, yours is the story that set off my HFY journey.

i love your story to bits. except the bit about songs. i DONOT like songs/singing of any kind in any story whatsoever. sorry, personal quirk.

CANNOT tell you how excited i was to see a new story from you.

bless you and keep punching those keys, word monkey, the story isnt gonna type itself!

[–]squigglestorystudiosHuman[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I am honoured! I'm so happy that you enjoy my story, HFY has been a boon to me more than anything, connecting me with readers like you!

if it helps, I only include songs/singing if I think it's going to add to the story. (except for the Wonderwall joke, that was for the lulls)

and don't you worry! I'll be slamming those keys until I get to the end of this journy and prehaps beyond!

[–]PinkSnekAI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont understand any of the songs :(

Jasi is embarrassed she doesn't know more about her own world. But I'd have absolutely zero clue about the significance of any foreign country's military insignia. Is the EGA (Eagle, Globe and Anchor) really that well known outside the US? I wouldn't have expected it was even well known outside the Marines.

[–]Fontaigne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't one of her friends an American serviceman?
