Re: Page 97

In the context of the meaning of slavery: Dictionary.com refers to a slave as: 1. a person who is the property of and wholly subject to another; a bond servant. 2. a person entirely under the domination of some influence or person. It gave others, but they weren't relative to the topic at hand. Can ...

Re: Page 97

I'm pretty sure it's Beryl, she seems to have become something of a liaison of sorts. And since she did refer to him as Captain when they left the bridge, I don't see the Beryl doesn't call Alex captain argument holding water. I wonder if we'll be seeing more of her inscrutable sense of humor.

Re: Page 97

I keep looking at the face inside Ellen's shattered helmet on the page, I can't determine what I'm looking at? Is that... Is that facial muscles with the skin cooked off? Or maybe we're seeing the only way humans can be effected by the telepathic powers of races & that's a Umiak face in there... (By...

Then again, perhaps the Loroi warrior who ran across the chocolate, tried some on a whim and decided to hoard it all.

That looks like a race trait, Loroi have been described as ruthless, I think Stillstorm's demonstrated that.

By the looks of it, he hasn't tried the blue twinkies yet, who knows they may taste just like them. Hey, maybe he does get a view-screen later.

Re: Mickey mouse?

Portland, you sort of need more urban mass to generate the necessary thrift store fodder to support a decent hipster population. Although, I've not been around Eugene much, Portland is VERY hipster-ific. Hmm, is Alex's family French Canadian? It would sort of explain his name. My family used to live...

Re: Page 91

What interests me is that Loroi's culture is of speaking truth mind to mind, voice to ears is a way of deception, so Alex is a bunch of contradictions. This confuses me a bit - if the Loroi were used to mind to mind truth, then discovered voice to ears deception, then all communication that is othe...

Well, I'm Jero, I used to post a bit on the old forum, occasionally. Mostly just lurking to watch the art progress thread. I'm a bit of a general purpose geek, some of the guys on here are intimidatingly awesomely smart. I'm more of an engineering kinda guy, though I always enjoy learning neat thing...

Re: Page 90

I've heard it suggested that were it possible to exceed the speed of light that the power requirements would be so enormous as to require the full backing of the civilization's capabilities. Then again, maybe the only reason no aliens have visited is they haven't started getting our oldest radio tra...

Re: Page 91

I'm personally hoping for a friendlier Fireblade. Is it just me or is anyone else reminded of Washu from the Tenchi anime & manga series with FB's hairstyle? Heh, looking at the panels and reading peoples comments, I'd think that the Captain would have been making a fangy scary face. Judging by her ...

Thanks, I forget if you've put it up where Alex is from.

Portland is just a bit more hipster than Seattle.

Re: Mickey mouse?

Full Metal Jacket is what I'd immediately thought of too.

Seems like Alex is pulling a Tom Paris being into really old american pop culture. Considering Ellen, I wouldn't be surprised if they were the contemporary equivalents to retro-styled hipsters today.

Re: Page 91

Hmm, the impression I got from Fireblade's expression was that of concern. The Loroi may not be much for vocal communication, but they seem to be masters of physical expression. As far as I can tell from the blocking of the final panel, I'm guessing that Fireblade was looking directly at Alex in her...
