About this listen
The 24th century: Humankind has become a spacefaring civilization, colonizing the solar system and beyond. While no alien forms of life have yet been encountered in this expansion into space, colonists suddenly encounter machines of alien origin - huge robots able to reproduce themselves. Called replicators by the colonists, they seem to have but a single goal: to destroy all organic life they come in contact with.
Since the colonial governments have no means to fight this menace directly, they instead promise huge rewards to whoever destroys a replicator. As a result, the frontier attracts a new kind of adventurer, the Hunters, who work to find and destroy the replicators. Mike Edwards, a skilled young maintenance technician and robotics expert at a faraway outpost, will not only become one of them - but be the very first one to unlock the secret behind the replicators’ origin and mission.

Repetitive and kinda infantile
Repetive, as well as long and drawn out, dialogue. Explanations that last a lifetime, written quite woodenly. Dialogue that sounds unnatural (why no shortened words? I'm confused. If it's a stylistic choice I don't think it fits the setting).
The characters are, in my opinion, infantile in their motivations. A kid wanting to become a space bounty hunter I get, ofc, but the revelation made by the love interest was just so anime inspired 'I'm going to hide this info and also behave in a way to deliberately mislead, and then act as though he's an idiot for thinking something he was being manipulated into thinking.' For comedy? For a rug-pull? No.
Narrator was good though; good accents, nice voice and inflection most of the time, good job.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
