The Attaché did say that she hoped it wouldn't end up like the end of Gotterdammerung. And the Master Race cannot conquer all the sentient races to 'The Ode to Joy', although we might save that for VG (Victory in the Galaxy) Day. Perhaps bits of Symphonies 3, 5 and 7 might be more appropriate. If yo...

It's a fine piece of music and I'm sure the Lorei will love it - it was Adolf Hitler's favourite opera after all. But ''Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg' wouldn't have been half such a good title for my story. My track does run on a bit, but my idea was that humaniti didn't play the whole thing, just ...

While I am not a fan of hip hop, I can tolerate it so long it is not mindless vulgarity and bragging about how much money one has or how many women they have had.

That narrows it down to, what, three tracks?

Don't worry. The Loroi discovered that the Umiak considered hip hop to be the ultimate peak of cultural achievement. When they shared this information, all the sentient species in the galaxy banded together to eradicate every trace of the Umiak and their culture.

It was the kindest thing to do.

Didn't work for a day or so, then all the messages suddenly went at once.

This may be an ID 10 T error but...

I've replied to a PM and it says that it is sent, but the message is sitting in the Outbox, not the Sent Folder. Can't see an obvious 'send'. Has the message been sent or am I doing something wrong (again)?

Weird. using that link it's also unavailable to me. Ah, I see, I forgot to capitalise the last M. Here, this one should work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdIe2CrorMM Well it's...different. Can't see it inspiring the master race to take their true place as rulers of the galaxy though. Way back i...

But then, I wonder what Stockhausen's music will do to the Loroi... (http://youtu.be/vdle2CrorMm )
I wonder if that'll be the music that stops the Umiak in their tracks?

Video unavailable for me. Copyright issue?

To give a few pointers, ECS Victory is a battlecuiser, not -ship. And I thought Loroi prefered a cooler climate then humans, not the other way around? It's far too easy to build a battlecruiser and then forget it isn't a battleship. See 'HMS Hood'. And yes, the historians warming the planet is just...

Pretty good. Just need to correct "Lorei" and "Sentai" for Loroi and Sanzai.

Ah senility my old enemy. We meet again.

And I went to all that trouble to get the ranks, casts, uniform colours and ship classes right.

What music is appropriate to greet your new alien overlords? Your choice could be more important than you think. Not to be taken seriously and this most certainly won’t happen in canon, but I hope it will brighten ten minutes of lockdown. It was the most important day in human history, but not in a...

Wandering in the chaos the battle has left, we climb up the mountain of human Lorei flesh...

He’s having this dream while under a pig pile of cute space elves? Freud will have a field day. “There are times when a collapsing space elevator is just a collapsing space elevator, but this isn’t one of them.”

Perhaps the Loroi want Alex - and the humans - to trust them, because humanity has something they want. Something that they can only get if the human race is intact and unconquered. Leaving aside the obvious (knowledge of hairdressing; I think I'm in a minority of one in that regard) I'm thinking th...

I suspect Alex is very bad at poker.

Good opening. Looking forward to the next part.

I don’t think anyone has ever come up with a sensible answer to ‘why absinthe?’

In all the best alien invasion movies, the aliens always turn up in a huge fleet of flying saucers able to cross interstellar space with ease. But what if interstellar travel was at the limit of their technology, and they have few very expensive ships that find it difficult to make the crossing? In ...

I'm not convinced it would work, but it seems as likely a strategy for humanity to survive as an other, and hopefully it's five minutes diversion during lockdown. Alliance with a weaker tribe to give you a toe-hold in enemy territory and allies against the stronger tribes you want to conquer goes ba...

The stern and unapproachable warrior woman has a vulnerability and tragic backstory? Tempo adds another brick to Alex's Stockholm Syndrome.

I suspect the diplomatic Tempo is not quoting Fireblade's exact words here.
