Lets be fair to Beryl, she is just doing what she is supposed to. Is she doing something we perceive as bad, yes, but from (reasonable) perspective of the Loroi, she is just being cautious, not malicious, she still likely, likes Alex, but her people are at risk. Now Talon on the other hand, she seam...

So the Umiak recognise a human when they see one

Could be, or it could just be looking that way, I hope the story doesn't go that way, there would be some a few plot holes if it does, but it could.

"There have been zero subtle hints that she is, so it would be a surprise." There are 3 hints, but none are hugely that substantive She never talks, the unsheathed have a reason, but she less so. There was a discussion about "surprises" that the Umiak have used before, bio-constructs and the like, a...

We are all assuming Cloud was not just a robot or (Shell) herself.

I know this is about showing how bad a.. the Loroi are. But deep inside I want this to turn into "Humans are space orcs"

I suspect they plan to try to ether dominate the boarding party or mess with their perceptions.

and now we get to see if the Umiak ships are invisible to farsensing due to human pilots (I really hope not, it kind of would be the worst reason)

It could be "Me, look only at me"

Not sure Fireblade, Flint, or Reed would be on that list, more they are victims by proxy.

the wiggle is a bit much

Depends, but the Historians don't field battle often, and if you stay away from the parts of the war zone where they are likely to be (ie near their border), then such a threat is severely minimized for potentially a lot of gain. So while it might not work as a long term stagey, as a short term one ...

Well a ship with a few mobile repair and independent monitoring robots could probably do it. For the most part, yes, a ship could fly and maintain itself, at least for some time, were really not all that far away from such abilities ourselves. When not flying in combat or doing repair, its not that ...

Not there yet? I dono, while it might seam inconvenient, having a fully computer run AI ship doesn't seam all THAT advanced, especially if its not for the long hall, and the Umiak seam to have a lot of impenitence to develop the tech. Now being able to develop such technology SAFELY, that may be dif...

Can Farsense detect AI? And would the Umiak play with fire to win?

I still have my doubts about the Historians in general. Not to necro an older thread but I have an opinion they are responsible for the Bellamarine's destruction. If I had to guess, the ones Alex needs to be weary of are Flint and Reed, because I'm assuming they would be the ones to actually shoot ...

I dono, they seam fairly paranoid, and Greywind seams to be cut from a similar cloth as Stillstorm from what background information we have. The Loroi also seam to have a penchant for wiping out those who oppose them and smothering those who are aligned with them.

./whisper "kiss her... kiss her..."
But more seriously, don't lol. I am curious about what is going on in his head right now though.

Because there are probably not the Loroi the historian was warning him about, but what he says to them may travel to the ones he should.

Darroth
Yes, Spiral is looking there, why do you think Beryl is giving her the thousand yard stare

"Insensitive Jerk" over something he has no way of knowing about. Its like one expects him to be a mind reader.
