Hi Nefeli,
After prooflistening, the only updates needed are to reduce the opening silence to one second, and to reduce the closing silence to five seconds. Please adjust these are resubmit it.

I did this one for the April Challenge. I've never yet done any sci-fi for LV, though I've read a fair amount for my own entertainment. This is a really cool story I found.

Hi Miranda,
Nice story! All this recording needs is amplification. It is at 83 db and our target is 89. Please amplify it and re-upload it.
Thanks!
Amy

Hello Amy,

The recording has been amplified and re-uploaded under the same file name. I'm am still learning about my audio editing software, so I hope I got it amplified to an acceptable level. If further tweaking is needed please let me know. Thanks!

Hi Mike,
This happens occasionally. We have this story in this batch already. I will save it for the collection 063. It will be a good way to start that one off.
Thanks!
Amy
