Stuck in a Space Whale 💫🐋

hey ya'll.

This is a little audio drama I've made about being stuck inside a Space Whale.

It's a fun little thing, based in a universe that I've been working on for a potential tv show.

The story opens with a wry greeting and a bold promise: a compact sci‑fi audio drama that tests the limits of survival and imagination. Our narrator, a hired gun with a mission to recover a five-dimensional inverter, discovers that the target sits within a living maze—an enormous space whale that has swallowed starships, krill, and entire human micro‑civilisations. The podcast leans into vivid worldbuilding without slowing the pace: jet thrusters fighting digestive storms, car‑sized space krill dissolving on contact, and a mission log that reads like a confession. It’s not just spectacle; the premise asks a direct question about problem‑solving under pressure. When an object can reshape time and space, does the shortest path to safety become the only acceptable one, even when it leads through something alive?

From there, the episode unspools a brisk history of the angels, five-dimensional beings who seeded the galaxy with tech that lets humanity collapse distance and converse across time. The lore of “five-dimensional wishes” adds texture: shimmering artefacts that let mortals parley with entities outside linear time, bending causality like wire. These elements create SEO‑rich touchpoints—time travel technology, five-dimensional objects, angelic aliens, space opera survival—that ground the drama in a mythology that feels both wondrous and perilous. By framing the inverter as a cousin to other angelic devices, the story hints at rules: inversion as a principle, not a miracle, and consequences that ripple through biology and vacuum alike.

The whale’s interior becomes a setting and a society. The narrator stumbles on a shanty town cobbled from swallowed hulls, where barter buys calories and superstition stands in for physics. The tone swings from deadpan to grim as we meet Cricket, the elder guide who understands the currents and the acids better than any star map. Hunger turns neighbours into predators, and engines become lifelines that determine who floats and who dissolves. When our mercenary admits to stealing fuel after being targeted as food, the episode forces a hard look at scarcity ethics: at what point does survival collapse into cruelty, and can anyone claim clean hands inside a stomach where the rules are digestion and decay?

The pacing tightens once the inverter appears. It sits lodged on an asteroid trapped above the digestive depths, a visual metaphor for opportunity hovering over entropy. The device itself is described as a canister housing an impossible geometry, an object that looks like many things ageing and collapsing all at once. The science‑fantasy logic is crisp: an inverter inverts signals, so a five-dimensional inverter should invert space and time. This is where the episode hits its thesis—tool choice shapes destiny. The narrator chooses action over caution, trusting that inversion will create an exit even if the cost is irreversible. The tension is physical and moral as jetpacks ignite, the canister opens, and the whale’s body begins to shrink against an unseen gradient.

What follows is both triumph and horror. The inversion works, ejecting our narrator into open space while the whale is turned inside out, a corpse reconfigured by higher‑dimensional mechanics. The aftermath is clinical and queasy: success logged, coordinates confirmed, and an acknowledgement that the path to the client

Episode Transcript

Sharam (00:01):
Hey guys, welcome to Sharam Namdarian makes a
podcast.
This podcast is an audio drama.
It's basically a sci-fi showthat I'd like to write.
It's gonna take a while, so Ithought I'd use this podcast to

(00:24):
get ideas out of little shortrun ideas.
So if you like it, let me know.
I'll make more.
This one's called uh stuckinside a space whale.
I'll let the actual thing dothe talking.
So in advance, thanks forwatching or listening wherever
you are.
And uh catch you on the otherside.
Uh mission log checking in.

(00:48):
Uh mercenary code 531800867.

Ships Computer (00:55):
Mercenary code confirmed.

Sharam (00:56):
The mission's been going smoothly, except for one major
hiccup.
I'm stuck in this goddamn spacewhale.
The mission was simple.
Get the 5D inverter and bringit back to the client.
That was it.
Unfortunately, when I got tothe coordinates, the coordinates
were actually a space whale.

(01:17):
So logically, one could assumethat the five-dimensional space
inverter was actually inside thewhale.
So I went in.
But I had to figure out a wayto get inside the space whale.
And then I noticed something.
The whale was eating spacekrill.
You know those car sizedmonstrosities that somehow

(01:41):
manage to eat your bones beforethey eat your flesh and organs?
Yeah, those things.
Well, I managed to slip my shipin between a massive herd of
space krill as I went into theactual whale.
How genius! The krillimmediately dissolved in its
stomach, and thanks to my ship'smiraculous thrusters, I was

(02:03):
able to just, you know, maintainstatus quo and not actually get
dissolved.
But I've been stuck in thisspace whale for at least a day
now, and the inverter is nowhereto be seen.
I have no idea why thisinverter is wanted or it's so
powerful.
All I know it's afive-dimensional object, and we
all know how good those thingsare.

(02:24):
For those who want a historylesson, for some reason if you
don't remember, humanity wasstruggling to span out into the
stars when one day we werevisited by the only creature in
space that isn't out to get you.
The angels.
The angels are creatures beyondtime and space.

(02:44):
These five-dimensional beingsthat gifted us with the
technology on how to travelthrough time and space through
five dimensions, both movingforward and backwards through
time and space at the same time,giving us the ability to
collapse any point in space.
During this time, they alsolittered the galaxy with a

(03:06):
million tiny objects, thesefive-dimensional objects that
are both mysterious and justbatshit crazy.
Our favorite ones are thefive-dimensional wishes.
These are small enchantedobjects that shimmer with
five-dimensional energy, that ifyou encounter it, you actually
get to speak to an angel and itwill grant you a wish, and you

(03:28):
can even alter time and spacewhen you talk to one of these
creatures.
Now, unfortunately, I'm stuckinside a space whale trying to
find a five-dimensionalinverter.
Now, why it's called aninverter, I can only assume that
it has the ability to invertthings, whatever the hell that

(03:50):
is.
But it has been a journey.
At one point in time, insidethis space whale, because it is
so huge, I managed to find asmall shanty town.
It was a small village ofcobbled together spaceships that
had been swallowed up by thespace whale, where I was able to
barter for food.

(04:10):
It was insane.
I met an old man, his name wasCricket.
Hello, my name is Cricket! AndCricket helped me navigate and
learn the ways of the spacewhale.
There are a society of peoplethat are stuck inside this
thing.
Get in a space whale, suck itup and get over it.
Pretty soon after I left, theirengines failed and they fell

(04:31):
and collapsed into the acid ofthe stomach of the space whales.
Oh no, our entire society isdissolving! So there goes that
society.
I'm lucky I have fuel.
Dear lord.
I think that mercenaries stoleour fuel! I had to steal all
their fuel after they tried toeat me.
Turns out being stuck in aspace whale doesn't lead to a

(04:54):
lot of protein, and you end upbecoming a cannibalist society.
Anyway, space is a dangerousplace.
It's filled with things tryingto kill you.
And humans aren't even theworst ones! I once heard of a
peaceful farming world.
It's the only peaceful planetwhere nothing is out to kill

(05:14):
you.
And even that has a giganticcreature that comes once every
50 years that they have to lureoff that is bigger than the
planet that just tries to eatit.
The future is dangerous, and Idon't know how we're alive.
Anyway, that's the mission log.
If I don't find this invertersoon, I am stuck in this space

(05:37):
whale.
Mission log.
Mercenary code 531800867.

Ships Computer (05:49):
Mercenary code done.

Sharam (05:52):
We found it.
We found the inverter.
It was literally floating on anasteroid that the whale had
swallowed that hadn't yetdropped down into the stomach of
the whale.
Now all I need to do is figureout how the hell to get out of

(06:16):
this space whale.
Oh man.
This this five-dimensionalinverter is beautiful.
It's it sort of looks like acanister, but inside it is an
object that my eyes literally donot understand.
It looks like several thingsconstantly collapsing in on

(06:40):
itself, aging, dying.
Sort of like if there were manyobjects occupying the same
space, and all of those objectslooked like they were all
throughout time.
Now, call me crazy.
But this thing is an inverter.

(07:02):
In the past I've used invertersto alternate signals on
tracking beams, ultimatelyboosting me away from the people
trying to track me rather thansucking me in.
So hypothetically, I should beable to use this inverter to get
me out of this whale.

(07:23):
Hold on.
Inverters invert things, right?
And a five-dimensional invertershould be able to invert both
time and space.
So I'm grabbing my jetpack andgetting out of the ship.

(07:45):
I've got an idea.
With my five-dimensionalinverter in my hand, this is so

(08:11):
crazy, it just might work.

Ships Computer (08:14):
Opening up the canister of the five-dimensional
inverter is highlyunrecomended, Mr.
Sharon.

Sharam (08:23):
I don't care.
On the count of three, I'mgonna throw this canister
against the stomach lining ofthe whale.
Because if I can't get out toreturn the object, there's no
point in it whatsoever.
Alright, stabilizing jets.
Three, two, one.

(08:48):
Throwing inverter.
The whale is being inverted.
Activate jetpacks back to theship.
The stomach of the whale isslowly getting smaller.

(09:13):
I can only assume the whale isbeing sucked in into the
inverter.
Back to the ship.
Uh mission log.
Mercenary code 531-800867.

Ships Computer (09:36):
Mercenary code confirmed.

Sharam (09:39):
The mission is a success.
I am successfully out of thewhale.
Unfortunately, the whale hasbeen inverted.
The only way that I couldescape was to use the inverter

(10:00):
on the whale itself.
The whale was slowly suckedinto the inverter and then
exported out the other endcompletely inside out.
Now that's why I know they callit an inverter.
Now all I gotta do is pick upthe damn thing that's still

(10:23):
floating out in space, move pastthe horrific mess that is the
whale's corpse, and get thisback to the client.
Mission success.
Anyway, uh that was stuckinside a space whale.

(10:49):
Hope you enjoyed it.
My name is Sharam Namdarian,and uh guess what we did?
We made a podcast.
