Wooh he returns! Been pressing refresh for the last year. Can finally give me finger a rest

Wait is it at all possible the black, 'uh hello', is Fireblade actually sending a hello to Alex that he misses and that the 'uh' is actually her mocking his pattern of speech?

Or maybe it's just an...error...

You say, “but it’s still kinda hard for me not to think that whale must be one son of a bitch; even Atticus Finch thinks it should die.” But that is the very insanity of Ahab’s desire. His anthropomorphizing of Moby Dick, embodying it with an unnatural malice, that’s what Starbuck decries while on t...

Ah well certainly nothing against you for not reading the book, it’s a long doozy and not terribly known outside of academic circles save for the faintest details, but I would recommend giving it a go primarily because the movies just don’t do it justice and because the novel is a damn good read. As...

As promised I’ve scrabbled up a little Ahab/Stillstorm comparison for your reading pleasure. I author this short essay whilst keeping in mind a number of matters: that this is by no means exhaustive, and if I may throw the first stone quite an amateurish attempt, that the first chapter has only rece...

@Trantor Goes back as far as you want it

And with a cravat no less

Aye the way you put it does make sense. I suppose I'll defer to your reasoning until we find out more.

@fredgiblet I could definitly see the reasoning behind that, what with the whole propensity towards genocide. Even so with only having two data sheets in our hands I think a plausible alternative is that each one simply has a bad reputation, Fireblade for her record at survival and Beryl perhaps for...

Hola mi amigos! Since I’m not sure this topic has been broached before, though I may be mistaken considering how far back the forums go, I would like to devote a few brief lines to our beloved comic’s title and how it encompasses the variety of characters which populate its universe. While it may se...

I meant that in the context of the militarized disgruntled, not the happy childhood cartoon. Having sung the song myself in a rather miserable situation I always (and others beside myself) felt it expressed the absurdness of our state that we might not otherwise have been able to convey. It's a bit ...

Seems more to me Alex doesn't particularly understand the context of the song, which is (if you take a stretch) understandable considering there's more than a hundred years between himself and the original disgruntled, that being a mockery of the current world of shit one inhabits ala FMJ. His missi...

Damn the torpedos woman, full speed ahead 8-) Edit- Also just to comment on the postulation that the battle to which Alex was witness was in some way forged or counterfeit; it seems rather unlikely to me based on Alex's own observations (pg.79) during the battle in which the Loroi, presumably in som...

Well I thank ye for the quick and detailed response and if I might ask one question more, what's the nature of said small arms (ground combat)? Are they good old rifle cartridges or are they using plasma and laser weaponry? I saw on the ships the guards are using something that resembles a SMG in si...

There's an interesting word choice by the Umiak commander. He says it's appropiate/necessary to request the engaging of communications, doesn't say why. We can assume (and we can be wrong possibly) it's not because there's a personal acquaintance between the two fleet commanders otherwise this comma...

If I might make a further inquiry I'd wonder just what kind of combat skills they are proficient in. I wouldn't expect a naval crew to be familiar with anything but small arms and hand to hand combat and the urban tactics that go along with them but in their initial training are they given any forma...

You know a theory I've been pondering is that it may not be related to Alex at all. Sure you've got an alien debris field way out in space that ain't no one seen before but more than that you do have a particuarly infamous strike fleet with a particuarly infamous commander, Still storm. One of the c...

Now for all them ideas swirling about in my head about how this fight'll go down I must confess this is the last outcome I was expecting. Question is what could they want? And is this kind of communications typical or the rarefied sort? My hope is, is that the Umiak got in contact with the other sco...

Ah this reminded me of one of my favorite passages (abridged of course) Men are born for games, nothing else. Every child knows that play is nobler than work. He knows too that the worth or merit of a game is not inherent in the game itself but rather in the value of that which is put at hazard. Gam...

That's a smug looking lass if I've ever seen one
