About this listen

Tonight’s Story: Deep beneath the destroyed trench-cities of Khepri-9, a breach-escort sergeant leads a crippled data-vault through collapsing corridors as the planet buckles under kinetic fire from orbit. What begins as a routine relocation spirals into a desperate retreat through unmapped tunnels, stalked by silent machine harvesters that adapt faster than his squad can fall back. With comms fractured and command issuing contradictory orders, every meter becomes a choice between tactical discipline and raw survival.Sascha Schmidt Science Fiction

    Jan 24 2026

    A calm military sci-fi sleep story with deep-space ambience, and quiet war themes — perfect for drifting into rest.


    Welcome to a quiet, atmospheric journey through military science fiction.

    These stories blend calm narration with deep-space ambience — engineered for rest, focus, and late-night listening.


    Each episode explores distant wars, lost missions, isolated outposts, or forgotten fleets… but always in a slow, sleep-friendly tone designed to help your mind drift while the universe unfolds gently around you.


    Tonight’s Story:

    Null Vault takes you into the hollow of an ancient alien megastructure where every burst of energy—even a flicker too bright—can erase a ship from existence. Inside this silent kill-sphere, a wounded engineer becomes the reluctant witness to a coup, a failing fleet, and a commander obsessed with firing the one weapon that could doom them all. As the boundaries of physics collapse and the Vault watches without emotion, survival becomes a slow, tactical descent into darkness. This story blends grim realism with cosmic dread, keeping the tension low and atmospheric for sleep while maintaining a sense of impending, unavoidable threat.


    For fans of The Expanse, Halo ODST, Aliens, Starship Troopers, grimdark sci-fi, deep-space war logs, cosmic megastructures, and slow-burn military science fiction.


    An original military sci-fi sleep story written by Sascha Schmidt.


    You’ll hear low, steady spacecraft hums, distant mechanical drones, and subtle tactical ambience woven into the background.

    No loud effects.

    No jump scares.

    Nothing sharp or sudden — just a dark, immersive military sci-fi mood carried gently through the entire story.


    – Calm, steady vocal delivery

    – Low-frequency ambience designed for rest

    – Minimal visual distractions (black screen or dark slow-movement loop)

    – No sudden volume spikes

    – No mid-roll ads to interrupt your sleep


    Perfect for:

    ✓ Falling asleep to dark sci-fi

    ✓ Long study sessions

    ✓ Deep focus at night

    ✓ Background listening

    ✓ Quiet immersive storytelling


    These stories take place in a variety of standalone, non-recurring universes — from infantry on desolate planets to officers aboard drifting warships.

    Some tales lean tactical and grounded, others drift into cosmic mystery.

    All share the same tone: calm, reflective, and shaped by the quiet tension of distant wars.


    If this story carried you into sleep, I hope your rest is deep and peaceful.

    If you’re still awake, feel free to let the ambient hum continue playing softly in the background.

    Wishing you a calm night among the stars.

    Tonight’s Story:

    A shattered moon, a broken ceasefire, and a buried annex hiding experiments no soldier was meant to witness. When a routine clean-up op drops an orbital infantry squad into the dark tunnels beneath Helikon-3, they uncover a new kind of enemy—one that learns from every impact and adapts with each strike. Cut off by ion storms and fading comms, the surviving trooper must navigate collapsing corridors, abandoned pods, and a bioweapon that refuses to die. What begins as an extraction turns into a slow descent through engineered horror, where every flicker of light may signal the thing hunting them.

    Tonight’s Story:

    Moonbreaker - A veteran breacher recounts the last operation aboard a dying artificial moon-fortress, where a routine clearance spirals into a silent war against a parasite that turns metal and flesh into a single merciless instrument. Inside collapsing corridors and failing gravity wells, he witnesses a command decision that threatens to ignite a stellar-scale failsafe and erase entire worlds. Cut off from fleet support and hunted by reanimated soldiers, he must choose between obedience and a desperate act of containment that may cost him everything. As the fortress tears itself apart above a failed star, his final report drifts through the void—cold, numb, and unbearably human.
