The HTML page (http://well-of-souls.com/outsider/outsider089.html) is 404, the image it would point to (http://well-of-souls.com/gallery/images/outsider089.jpg) is 404, and the Next Page button on 88 still points to the To Be Continued page. Also, the link is dated June 20th, but I'm pretty sure it ...

Aha. With the Seren Corridor, Seren Sector, and Seren system itself labeled on the map, I should have been more specific. Looking again at the map and Arioch's notes, none of the dots between Naam and Azimol are grey, so it may actually be only two jumps between them. An unrelated thought: Morat spa...

I was guesstimating the distance from Seren (on the far left) to Azimol (around the lower center). The distance from Naam (where the story is currently occuring) to Azimol is maybe one-quarter that, perhaps four or five jumps.

In rough measure, then, the route from Azimol to Seren looks like about 5 links of around 10 light-years length each. Few of these links will follow the plane of the map, so add, say 50% more to the distance to cover that, for a total of 75 light-years. Insider's FTL Tech page notes jumps are prefer...

Insider's Races of the Loroi Alliance includes the Golim, a species both well-adapted to industrial work on inhospitable worlds, and telepathically defenceless to the point that Loroi can control them without even meaning to do so (I imagine first contact between their species went pretty smoothly)....

I absolutely love the translated Umiak speech. Indeed, it manages nicely to convey a sense of the alien, while containing enough patterns to convey it's own style. So, assuming the Umiak are being up-front here, they didn't blow up the Bellarmine, and this group, at least, has never encountered hum...

I think it works well as an image, but my first reaction on seeing it was to wonder how merloroi relate to the comic. Perhaps the sudden change in setting does make it work better as a 'You've reached the last page' indicator, though.
