Re: Are The Umiak Tne Enemy The Loroi Deserve Or Are They Just Victims Of Circumstance?
I don't think anything the Loroi did or didn't do make them the opponents of the Umiak. They're just in their way, and pretty clearly the Umiak were Imperialistic to start with, just as, more or less, the Loroi were. It's a routine clash of Empires, not ideologies. Both deserve the other because it'...

Re: Page 188: Get down from there Alex!
I mean, it's a given that this is Fireblade's memory. I figured that he was sort of sharing her perspective. But now I wonder if he's sort of co-dreaming it with her, two characters in the same story.

Re: MoO II races and their parallels in Outsider
I'll try to find some images later, but if you care to, compare the picture of the Antaran Leader with the Historian Hologram. The latter seems rather close to the image of a skeleton of the former. Cross reference that with their advanced technology, highly telepathy adverse nature, and guardianshi...

Re: Page 134: For Science!
I assume the untrainable element is simply referring to the trait being an innate one.
It's not a skill so much as a natural attribute like height, or weight, or eye colour. Each Loroi has a given natural degree of psychokinetic power.

Re: 130: deep jumps vs. white dwarves
I assumed it was more of a function of gravity in general more than the White/Red comparison. Essentially, the low gravity means that there's a very limited acceptable zone of ingress from hyperspace. You need to get very close to the star's well to overcome the limited gravity. To recall the diagra...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
The concept of Humanity in the Union is filled with corner-cases where the human lack of telepathy becomes in some way a highly specialized boon to the telepaths themselves. Particualrly with Fireblade, the more I think about it. She can speak aloud, because she knows that Alex (from first hand exp...

Re: Page 123: not much to see
And what is that gesture she's doing? I'm inclined to agree with Boldilocks. She seems FAR too pleased and interested in Alex for such a simple task. Maybe she enjoys the idea of enlightening the savage? I mean, showing the alien your (implicitly far superior) ways is something of a staple of sci-fi...

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
Aren't Talon and Spiral getting pulled off the line to keep their experience alive? Hopping off and changing out for a fresher, greener crew. Figures they'd stay with them. The capital is likely the direction they're heading anyway, if they're going to be installed as flight instructors or something.

Re: Page 120!
What is an artist that doesn't produce art? What is a writer that doesn't write? What is a fundamentally episodic format, when it releases episodes at a functionally nonexistent pace? I wouldn't say it's a function of laziness, but the story is basically stalled, barring a faster pace. It's hard to ...

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
Outsider's indeed. Beryl has her Xenophilia, Fireblade has someone that isn't repelled by her psychic PTSD, and Tempo has a fascinating new puzzle to tear apart without the aid of her usually formidable sanzai.
And Talon's a pilot.

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Fan theory Beryl sure has a lot of ultreior motives for a species really bad with ulterior motives. Really bad at concealing and managing them, perhaps. Which is possibly why she went from 'literally falling asleep in front of an audience' to 'scuttling up to the cockpit in a vengeful fury because ...

So presumably he is presently laden with an entire ships worth of luck, and should be promptly harvested at first opportunity? Nothing like an alien skull on the bonnet for the favour of the gods. A little dangly humans foot for a keychain.

That was from the ol' Revolver Teidar guest treatment. Psychic waterboarding, I think was the term Arioch used.

"Hey baby. I'm a PILOT."
Later, in the mess:
Talon: "Of course the alien male wished for me to grasp his hand! I am often requested to hold hands, with a great variety of exotic alien menfolk, such is my natural attractiveness and cosmopolitan appeal!".
