Well of Souls Forums

Well today is Canada Day and this weekend is 4th of July. Could you tell us some of the holidays that Loroi celebrate and maybe a quick how they are celebrated/observed?

I reckon there would be less of a need for 'sufficiently advanced' exoplanetary observation techniques once you have mastered FTL travel...
Simply sent a survey vessel instead of watching old photons.

Depending on costs - maybe even something unmanned could do

What do Loroi military decorations look like? Modern earth military organisations (and many civilian ones) have medals, ribbons and fourragères. Do they have the same or opt for something else such as special garments that can be worn or tattoos or the likes?

Kepler-37b is Moon sized and 215 l.y away.

Well, I know we have detected water on a potential super-Earth 110 light years and we are still able to receive from a 20W emitter at a distance of around 130AU. If I recall correctly, the Earth has the distinct feat if being 'louder' than the Sun in the RF spectrum. Other species might have been aw...

Interesting - might be a large concentration of dark matter in the center of our galaxy and not a super massive blackhole.

Seems that 1,700 stars have been in position to detect life on Earth over the last 5,000 years. Perhaps something for Arioch to consider in his master plan!

It's weird that people think that Humanity has to have some special kind of racial advantage for a Human character to be a hero. I think why people keep asking this is because they want to validate that 'humans' are worthy and as a whole, and that they can make a difference. As it stands, from the ...

This is more about 'ancient' history of humans in your universe. We have a lot of legends of witches and sorcerers - humans people with magical powers. Is it possible that these legends are based on humans which might have had an affinity for psionic powers?

Are the Loroi aware of other species by proxy? A bit like the Roman and Chinese empires were aware of each other, but too far away to realistically interact with each other?

Viruses must be specifically targeted at a particular species because the molecular vulnerabilities that the viruses attack are often unique to that host species (or group of species), and the viruses often don't have enough DNA to replicate on their own, so infection by an alien virus is very unli...

How strenuous is the use of psi powers by Loroi? I figure that telepathy is like speaking - you can do it nearly all day with minor pauses, but those who can use telekinesis or pyrokinesis - that is likely something that requires more 'hmphs', right? Would it also possibly be like comparing a normal...

What is the greatest gesture of respect that a non-psionic like Alex could do to impress the Loroi, especially if it is unexpected? Something that would make a Loroi feel honored. Loroi sre individuals so it will vary per individual. These are not cookie cutter Klingons or Vulcans. No, but there ar...

Is there a reason beams are the color they are, or is it just so we know who is shooting?

Yes, the reason is that it's so we know who is shooting.

So, just out of curiosity - if you had a current human ship shoot beams - what colour would you pick ? Or you haven't really decided yet.

Ah, well, I was under the assumption that most Loroi senior officers didn't have 25 years of service - that they typically died 'young'. That would make a big difference. From my perspective (and I may be wrong) adapting our current strategies to space warfare wouldn't be that hard and it would allo...

I find that often people view humanity as unusually warlike... of course we don't have much to compare ourselves to, but I tend to think that humans are no more inherently warlike than what I think would be essentially required for survival of the species. I think it is because there is a viciousne...

Talking about the military, how well would humans do in 'wargames' if the scenario *assumed* they had identical tech compared to the Loroi. Humanity has been practicing warfare in some form or another since the beginning of written history and while they never had to fight a real war in space, I ass...

I was thinking, not every aspect of science and technology advances at the same rate. What would be the area of science and tech that humans are most advanced in?

Although this is a medical concern observed by the Loroi when dealing when aliens or new alien environments, it's extremely difficult for most pathogens (especially viruses) to hop species, much less alien organisms. Loroi (and all Soia-Liron species) have robust immune systems, but this is bolster...
