Re: The Samantha Carter Option.... Theory Or Remotely Possible In Outsider?
It is part of a pair of NHK documentaries that shed a lot of light on the tragedy at Okinawa. They both take a "US indiscriminate attack, the horror!" narration track at times, but its mixed in with the orders from the military to conscript the people, to use children as soldiers, to have everyone ...

Re: The Samantha Carter Option.... Theory Or Remotely Possible In Outsider?
That´s sick imo. Live, at least "our" lives should be valued above all else. To me, that would either be the (absolute) last resort, or, a group of, say, terminal ill or so volunteers. This is too shallow a way of thinking. Lets use WW2 as an example, since that discussion has been broached. Attack...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
I doubt Ark will answer this one as this might be spoilerific, butttttttttt
Alex, after being mind probed heavily, is seeing memories and having dreams from what I assume is Fireblade's past. Is it possible she is seeing the same from his?

Spoken like a true gentleman. Does that mean you're a proponent of "pistols at dawn"? :o Tradition dictates that the accused choose the challenge.

How do the Loroi (and by extension) the other races create gravity for their ships?

Re: Fan Theories on How the Umiak can hide from the farseers
Actually, its already 66-and-counting years since the first artificial satellite (Sputnik) temporarily achieved orbit. With a first interplanetary (manned) mission nowhere in sight. Moon or planet is no big difference from a technical view - lander is lander, pack some more supplies in a bigger roc...

Re: Fan Theories on How the Umiak can hide from the farseers
Idea , but could they have taken advantage of how a Loroi brain interprets information? Illutions such a still picture seemingly moving, or having two different objects appear to be different sizes by having one close and one far away is due to the human brain taking short cuts and filling gaps. Ano...

Re: The Samantha Carter Option.... Theory Or Remotely Possible In Outsider?
I would ask WHY? I am sure its possible with enough tech, but a sun exploding (going super nova) would mean a galaxy of resources would go up with it. Its one thing if you sacrifice a city or two (nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki in WWII to end it faster), bombarding a planet till civilization has been...

Re: Do Umiak Ever React This Way Or Is It Unusual?
From what I understand, The Umiak view everything as a tool: Their ships, their people, and their allies. They want to get the most bang for their buck, and in the cases of tools of destruction that is often quite literally. It would seem most are essentially nails that are one adn done. Kikitik-27 ...

Re: Sex Questions
If the humans can be trained to communicate telepathically with the Loroi, then do they become the only aliens who can do that? Not sure if this is a trainable trait, but it could be. I wonder if it could be something that can added in with some Genetic Modifications (like with the Glow In the Dark...

Heh. I'm enjoying imagining Alex's reaction to finding out that Fireblade has to sleep in a special magic coffin... Oh, I can Imagin it now.

Re: Sex Questions
The Neridi are an example of a species that does have regular, prolific sex, and they do use it for social bonding. They're also hermaphroditic, but they transition between male and female functionality at different stages during their lives. They also have two different states of being males that ...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
The only use case that I currently have for this technology is the concept that Fireblade has a capsule that she sleeps in to mitigate the telepathic "noise" that she generates when unconscious... but I'm not 100.0% sure that's actually going to be in the comic. Heh. I'm enjoying imagining Alex's r...

Re: Sex Questions
This might go in a different thread, but what about sexual orientation and Identity? I am sure this could work in a way to get out some "frustration" among certain groups (Ancient Greeks, Arab, and Samurai practiced same sex relations amongst its people, espesialy amongst the warriors). I also know ...

Re: Warrior Cultures
I think early society was strictly survival in its framework. They had art and leisure, and room to innovate (hence why stick became sharpen stick, and enemy wolf became man's best friend). However as things progressed, societies shifted. How big a warrior society it was or what kind also differs. J...

Feel like checking out the site again, and I love Jarden’s understatement of seeing the aftermath of fireblade.
